LGBTQ+ Bars in New York

All over New York, there is a spacious range of bars, clubs, and parties. After a lot of consideration, there are three places that you shouldn’t miss:

On the 18th floor of the Standard Hotel, you will discover this two-floor club called Le Bain. The name Le Bain comes from the indoor pool located just next to the DJ booth.
