Part of the Gay New York City Guide — bars, events & things to do.
New York City, New York
Astoria's dedicated queer bar with drag showcases and outdoor seating.
Icon is Astoria's dedicated gay bar and performance space, and for a lot of Queens it's the home-turf alternative to schlepping into Manhattan for a queer night out. The calendar stays full: drag showcases, themed character nights, reality-TV viewing parties, trivia, karaoke, and a weekly open stage, with DJs and go-go dancers taking over on weekends. The vibe is neighborhood-bar friendly rather than big-club slick, with staff who know the regulars, a crowd that turns up for the weekly parties, and outdoor seating for anyone who'd rather skip the dance floor. Happy hour runs daily and they take reservations, which helps on a busy show night. If you're in Queens, this is the anchor; if you're in Manhattan, it's worth the trip across the river for a less touristy scene.
