New York City Gay Dance Clubs

The Q is a brand new multi-level queer bar and club in NYC. Opened on June 25, 2021, it’s the latest addition to NYC’s vast gay scene. Billie Porter, Jake Shears, Charlie Carver and Zachary Quinto are involved. This four-storey gay club in Times Square/Hell’s Kitchen is set to become one of the biggest gay destinations in New York.

It will be the largest queer-owned gay club in Manhattan. THE Q NYC is a great vote of confidence in the nighttime economy in post-pandemic New York.

Proof of vaccination is required for entry.
