    Expect to pay a cover, but it’s well worth it. 

    Why we love it: Nightly events, including queer jazz, screenings, women’s sports watch parties, karaoke, and more keep the agenda at Henrietta’s fresh. Think again, my friend.

OUTNYC

Your comprehensive guide to LGBTQ+ life, events, and community in New York City.

June is Pride Month, which means New York’s queer community is ready to party and—more than ever this year—stand up for their rights.

Learn about membership

The vibe rules the party

Every decision we make supports a warm, generous, alive room where people feel held enough to explore.

Thoughtfulness

Nothing is accidental. For something a little more high-energy, check out the best drag shows or cabaret performances in town, or just stop by for a drink and a friendly chat.

These spots in Brooklyn and Manhattan are currently the only lesbian bars in all five boroughs.

Thanks for subscribing! Though the landmark may have lost its No.

1 height status, it's remained a beloved destination with incredible views of the city. Come to sip “guess star” passionfruit martinis and more tropical cocktails at the bar or head in a little later in the evening to dance to a DJ playing under the many disco balls. 

Why we love it: Martini Tuesdays offer $12 martinis and cosmos, Slutty Punch Wednesdays bring $8 cups of a seasonal punch, and Sundays offer $6 mimosas and $20 mimosa carafes.

Time Out tip: Keep an eye out for frequent events geared toward the earlier crowd more comfortable at a paint and sip, figure drawing class, or other creative (and very queer) venture than shaking it on the dance floor.

    A membership with a complimentary trial

    Membership is how we keep Top Floor curated and sustainable.

    The tower's lights change colors to honor holidays, special occasions and special causes. We love featuring parties, cultural events, community gatherings, and more. And while there’s no official census or index, it’s believed that New York City has the largest LGBTQ+ population in America—and that’s something to celebrate all year long!
