Pink Metal
A neon‑pink dream for queer night owls, Pink Metal is a buzzy Bushwick cocktail bar known for burlesque, drag bingo, and its famed Open Bussy Stage. Sip on creative cocktails under disco lights, lounge in the heated patio with a go‑go show, and soak in the positive, inclusive energy. Happy hour runs till 8 pm nightly, and there’s even a “secret” absinthe menu on Wednesdays and Sundays.

The Bush
Dubbed a “dyke bar for the queers,” The Bush is a Caribbean‑inflected gem with passionfruit martinis, Slutty Punch Wednesdays and classic DJ nights under disco lights. It welcomes queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming folks with open arms in a bright, upbeat space. Expect playful tropical cocktails, light bites like patties, and events from paint‑and‑sip to late‑night dance.
Ginger's Bar
Brooklyn’s long‑standing cozy queer hub, Ginger’s blends vintage Irish‑dive charm with karaoke, pool tables, dyke drag, and open mic nights. Cash‑only, with a neighborhood backyard patio and jukebox jams, it’s the kind of place you come to know. The bartenders are warm, events don’t feel performative, and cocktails are simple but solid. A perfect spot for low‑key queer couples wanting authenticity.
