19 Great LGBTQ+ Bars In NYC

"There’s a wraparound patio outside of Mary’s in East Williamsburg, and it’s usually full of people celebrating birthdays and any other occasions that call for booze and fresh air. This queer Irish pub—complete with both Pride and Irish flags—feels like a casual community space where you can pop in for a pint or host a group hang. It has multiple outdoor areas, as well as a pub-like interior with saloon doors, plenty of standing room, and big windows facing the street. If you’re looking for a queer spot where you can loiter with a pint of Guinness and make some new friends, this is it." - rob anderson, matt clifton, nikko duren, neha talreja, bryan kim
