Intimate gay bar on Bardstown Road in the Highlands, open since 2012.
Big Bar has been a fixture on Bardstown Road in the Highlands since 2012, and despite a name that started as a joke about its original small footprint, it expanded around its tenth anniversary with a colorful new "Rainbow Room." It's been voted Best Bar in the Highlands by LEO Weekly, and the mix of DJ nights and karaoke on Wednesdays and Sundays keeps a steady, conversational room moving without tipping into full club mode. This is a neighborhood regulars' spot as much as a night-out destination: open daily from the afternoon, easy to drop into solo, and part of a walkable cluster of gay and gay-friendly bars on the same stretch of Bardstown Road. A natural pairing with Chill Bar a few doors down if you're working the Highlands.

Cherry Grove is where gay America summered before there was a word for it. Here's the complete guide to Fire Island's original queer hamlet — its history, its drag-soaked nightlife, where to stay and eat, the beach, and how it differs from the Pines next door.
