About NYCGayBars
NYC Gay Bars is your personal guide to the city's LGBTQ+ nightlife — and a fun way to remember every night out. Browse 80+ gay bars across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens on an interactive map or a searchable list. Filter by neighborhood, sort by distance, and find your next spot in seconds. Been somewhere? Check in and log what you drank — tonight or backdated. Your history builds a personal timeline of every bar, every drink, every night. FEATURES • Map + list of 80+ NYC gay bars, by neighborhood • Sort by distance to what's closest right now • One-tap check-ins and drink logging (today or any past day) • A calendar history of your nights out • Personal stats: favorite bar, top drink, biggest night, longest streak • Neighborhood progress bars — how much of the city have you hit? • 30 unlockable badges to chase • Optional Friends: share a check-in with exactly the friends you choose — they see it in their Tonight feed, with per-friend controls over who gets yours • Beautiful, fast, native design PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your drink log stays on your iPhone — no account, no sign-up, no tracking, no third-party servers. Friends is optional, runs on your iCloud, uses invite codes instead of a directory, and only shares a check-in when you tap the button. Whether you're a local completist or visiting for Pride, NYC Gay Bars makes exploring the scene a game worth playing.
What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated October 14, 2026
Fresher bar list, steadier Friends. • Updated bar roster — new spots added and closed ones retired, so the map matches the city • Friends is more reliable — accepting a friend request and removing a shared check-in now hold up on slow or spotty connections • Your existing visits and "been here" marks carry over automatically when a bar's listing changes • Under-the-hood fixes and polish Friends is completely optional — everything else stays 100% on your device.
