NYC’s original gay sports bar in Chelsea! Catch the game, enjoy a 'Beer Blast,' and join the queer community at this iconic LGBTQ+ spot.
Looking for the ultimate spot to catch the big game in New York City? Welcome to GYM Sportsbar NYC, the city’s original queer-friendly sports hub located in the heart of Chelsea. Since opening its doors in 2005, GYM has been a mandatory stop on any traveler’s gay map, offering a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere where everyone is a teammate. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking to socialize with gay men and the broader LGBTQ+ community, this bi-level gay bar has it all. The main floor features a sleek copper-topped bar and multiple screens for every sporting event imaginable, while the 'Locker Room' downstairs offers a more intimate lounge experience with warm lighting and a second bar. Known for its strong drinks, legendary weekend 'Beer Blasts,' and as the official home base for local queer sports leagues like dodgeball and softball, GYM is where athletic spirit meets nightlife energy. Stop by for their famous happy hour, challenge a local to a game of pool, or just soak in the authentic Chelsea vibe. It’s more than just a sports bar; it’s a neighborhood institution where inclusivity and competition go hand in hand.
