"If you’re looking to get drinks at a Harlem bar with shirtless bartenders, drag performances, and Happy Hour specials, head to Alibi Lounge, one of New York City’s last remaining Black-owned gay bars. This upbeat spot sits proudly on a busy neighborhood corner with pride flags, velvet ropes, and a long red carpet where you should choreograph a grand entrance. They host regular parties, so we’d recommend coming here when you’re in the mood to get a little sloppy on a weeknight. " - rob anderson, matt clifton, nikko duren, neha talreja, bryan kim
"GoFundMe Donation, Any Amount Alibi Lounge is the first Black-owned, LGBTQIA+ bar in Harlem, and like so many queer community spaces around the city, they’re in danger of closing. As a gift this year, consider donating to their Covid GoFundMe campaign on behalf of someone you love. And, if you’re interested in supporting more of the city’s queer nightlife establishments, you can also check out the Lesbian Bar Project’s recent work as another gift idea." - hannah albertine

Alibi Lounge is one of New York City’s last remaining Black-owned gay bars, and over the last year, its owner has fought to keep the businesses afloat. After running a successful GoFundMe campaign, the community space will not only be able to keep its doors open, but Alibi Lounge will make also a $1000 donation to the Transgender Law Center in honor of everyone who donated." - Nikko Duren
