Rockbar NYC Formerly: The Dugout

(102 Ratings)
Fun bear/leather crowd

Christopher Street's famous bar row caters to a mostly scruffy, masculine crowd. Rockbar is no exception, though it's also becoming the place where younger guys seeking a low-key haunt mingle with the bears and leather lovers. Rockbar features hot bands like Deluka and Reckless Place every Saturday night.

Best Gay/Bear Bar in NYC

This is a place I like to call home. Everyone is friendly and the drinks are strong. Friendly Men and Strong drinks are the perfect recipe for a good night on the town.

If you're looking for a cub, check out Rockbar. Whenever I'm in the mood to go play in the forest, I head down to Christopher Street. big, beefy, thick boys everywhere. Yum!
