Queer dance bar with cocktails, patties, and events
"The Bush, a self-appointed "dyke bar for queers" in Bushwick, is 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." - molly fitzpatrick, tiffany yannetta, brennan carley, bryan kim, nikko duren, neha talreja

"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.

"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." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, willa moore
"Established in 2023, The Bush is part of a nationwide renaissance of lesbian-owned bars that caters broadly to a queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming community that’s more inclusive than ever. In addition to cocktails at this “dyke bar for the queers,” Caribbean patties are often available." - Eater Staff
