"One of the weekly specials at The Bush is the "Slutty Punch," an $8 concoction that sets the mood for the night. The duo behind this self-appointed "dyke bar for queers" in Bushwick wanted to see more spaces catering to lesbians, and The Bush has successfully become a big, slutty—but safe—playground for the community. On DJ nights, you'll find a packed dance floor, full of people sipping on cocktails with names like "ILYSM" under a constellation of disco balls and purple lights. If you're looking for something more low-key, come by on a night that they have a comedy show or book party. Check their Instagram to see what they've got cooking.
