Saddle up at Branded Saloon in New York City! A rustic, queer-friendly bar in Brooklyn with drag trivia, live music, and a warm vibe.
Welcome to Branded Saloon, a one-of-a-kind queer destination in the heart of Prospect Heights, New York City. Frequently appearing on any essential "gay map" of Brooklyn, this rustic, Western-themed saloon offers a welcoming atmosphere that bridges the gap between a neighborhood local and a vibrant LGBTQ+ hub. Known for its unique honky-tonk charm, it has evolved into a cornerstone for queer travelers and locals seeking something beyond the typical high-energy dance floor. Step inside and you'll find an authentic Western vibe, complete with a tiger-oak bar from Montana and a vintage player piano. Whether you’re stopping in for a whiskey-based cocktail or diving into their famous Southwestern-inspired "chuckwagon" menu—featuring favorites like fried green tomato sandwiches and vegetarian Frito pie—the vibe is always inclusive. Branded Saloon is more than just a place to grab a drink; it's a performance space that celebrates community diversity. From high-energy drag trivia and burlesque to intimate open mic nights and live local bands, there is always something happening in this three-room venue. While it attracts a diverse crowd of allies and gay men alike, its commitment to being a safe, queer-friendly space remains its true North Star. If you’re looking for a gay bar in New York City with a rustic twist and a whole lot of heart, saddle up and head to Vanderbilt Avenue.
