This piano bar is brightly lit, which doesn’t do any favors for its slightly older clientele. Great place to hang out, dance a little, but not to meet someone.

You go to The Duplex to be entertained or entertain, if you’ve got the chops. Two stories of piano bar, cabaret, and other shows.

This is a lesbian bar that makes you wish all gay bars were that friendly. Everyone is welcome and thought it gets crowded, it’s fun fun fun.

The sign on the wall says “No Sexual Activity Allowed.” Ironically, that sign has seen more action than a motel. Hardcore cruising, and much, much, more.

A neighborhood heavy on the drag queen and Karaoke tip. Nothing exceptional, but the Upper West Side doesn’t give you much to work with.

A good place to find a good time if you’re into the flashing lights and throbbing music scene. Cover is negotiable at the door. So show some skin and save…

Yes that Stonewall—the place that helped make your sexuality something to be proud of. Have a drink with the friendly patrons and respect the history.

Small, sweaty and smelly. Don’t let that ruin your time though. Just dance.

If you got a rock and roll soul, welcome home. This bar in on Christopher Street serves up the beer and rock in equal proportion.

Punk or Goth your scene? Well then, so is Pyramid. Through on some eyeliner, wear your black skinny jeans and get ready to dance to some Depeche Mode.
