Gay sports bar in Hell's Kitchen with rooftop patio and Drag Race viewing nights
Hell's Kitchen outpost of Boxers, the gay sports bar group that started in Chelsea in 2010 with a simple idea from founders Bob Fluet and Rob Hynds: a place where gay guys and their teammates could actually watch the game in comfort. The formula carries over here — flatscreens on every wall, beer on tap, wings and brick-oven pizza, and bartenders working in red boxer shorts. The Hell's Kitchen location sits at its longtime home on 9th Avenue, with a rooftop that opens on warm-weather nights over the avenue. Programming has grown well past sports: RuPaul's Drag Race viewing parties, karaoke, Latin nights, and DJ sets, plus a 2-for-1 happy hour seven days a week and weekend brunch. It's the easygoing, come-as-you-are end of the Hell's Kitchen strip — louder and more game-day than the cocktail rooms nearby, and a reliable first or last stop on a night out in the neighborhood.
