The Bush

19 Great LGBTQ+ Bars In NYC

"Queer people of Brooklyn: it’s time to log off Lex and back away slowly, at least for the night. Head to The Bush, the self-appointed "dyke bar for queers" in Bushwick where you’ll find your next IRL romance. It’s a fairly barebones space with a narrow bar in front and a dance floor in the back, but the wash of purple light, constellation of disco balls, and cocktails with names like “ILYSFM” help set the mood. Keep an eye on their social media and make plans to meet up with that missed connection at one of The Bush’s mixers or Martini Tuesdays." - rob anderson, matt clifton, nikko duren, neha talreja, bryan kim
