Step into Playhouse, a vibrant highlight on the New York City gay map and a premier destination for the LGBTQ+ community. Located in the historic West Village, this former Off-Broadway theater has been transformed into a cinematic basement gay bar and nightclub that pulses with energy from the moment you descend the stairs. For gay men and queer travelers seeking the ultimate Manhattan night out, Playhouse offers a rare commodity: a massive, open dance floor where some of the city's best DJs spin Top 40 remixes until 4 AM. The venue is renowned for its world-class drag circuit, featuring nightly performances from iconic queens and the legendary 'Showtunes Sundays'—a high-energy singalong event that is a rite of passage for musical theater fans. With its striking red-lit aesthetic, inclusive atmosphere, and reputation for being one of the most welcoming spaces in the city, Playhouse is more than just a bar; it's a centerpiece of West Village culture. Whether you’re stopping by for early evening happy hour specials or looking to lose yourself in the music on a crowded Saturday night, Playhouse is an essential stop on your queer travel journey through the Big Apple.
