Best of Metromix New York 2012Gay Bar
We're partial to gay bars where the drinks are cheap (and strong!), the atmosphere is laid-back rowdy, and the crowd is fun. Not that we've got anything against the mega-glossies—it's just that we feel most at home in the scrappier bars of the world. Interpret as you will. Anyway, moving on, these bars are always a good time. Don't you think? If you think we left out a deserving nominee, let us hear about it!
