DRINK: UPTOWN LGBT BARS 2021



Harlem Bespoke:  Uptown gays bars took a hit during the pandemic since Boxers shuttererd on Broadway by 159th Street but a new addition has since arrived on the scene.  Below are some current alternatives to LGBT nightlife in upper Manhattan.

Lambda Lounge
on Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard by 132nd Street just opened during the pandemic last year and is the newest addition to uptown's LGBT businesses: LINK

Alibi Lounge over on historic Strivers Row on the 7th Avenue side just below 139th Street and is the one of the only official gay bar to open in Harlem in the past couple of decades.  More on Alibi can be found in our past post: LINK

Harlem Nights on 7th Avenue at the corner of 138th has an LGBT-friendly evening on Thursdays.  The casual bar known for cheap drinks apparently really brings in a diverse crowd every week and might be a good spot to check out for those looking for a new place to socialize uptown: LINK

Suite on Amsterdam at 108th Street is on the outskirts of Morningside Heights but has been the go-to uptown gay bar for well over a decade.  Weekend drag shows at midnight are the main attraction and bring in the crowds: LINK
