A vibrant NYC community hub and lesbian bar in the LES, Dave’s offers live music, mutual aid, and a welcoming LGBTQ+ sanctuary for all.
Welcome to Dave's Lesbian Bar, a revolutionary addition to the New York City gay map. Situated at 76 Forsyth St, this Lower East Side gem is far more than your typical lesbian bar—it’s a community-driven sanctuary where mutual aid meets nightlife. Originally born from a mission to create more safe spaces for the queer community in NYC, Dave's has become a legendary name for its inclusive 'everybody’s cute' philosophy. As a premier LGBTQ+ destination, Dave's Lesbian Bar functions as a mutual aid hub by day and a pulsating live music venue by night. While it serves as a vital home for the sapphic community, it remains an open and affirming space for gay men and all queer identities looking for a heart-centered social experience. From local band showcases to community fundraisers, every visit supports a greater cause. Whether you’re a local regular or a traveler using a gay map to navigate the city's best queer spots, Dave’s offers an authentic slice of New York City activism and joy. Stop by for the drinks, stay for the community, and experience one of the most unique queer-friendly spaces in the United States.
