The Bush is a vibrant Brooklyn "dyke bar for the queers," offering craft cocktails, community events, and inclusive dance floor vibes.
Welcome to The Bush, a revolutionary addition to the New York City LGBTQ+ nightlife scene. Located in the heart of Bushwick, Brooklyn, this self-described "dyke bar for the queers" is a sanctuary designed to center queer women, trans individuals, and non-binary folks, while remaining a warm and inclusive space for the entire community. Whether you're a local or a traveler using our gay map to find the city's best hidden gems, The Bush is a must-visit destination at 333 Troutman Street. Founders Nikke Alleyne and Justine LaViolette have cultivated an atmosphere that balances high-energy dance floor energy on the weekends with an intimate, community-focused feel during the week. Inside, you’ll find a striking industrial-gritty aesthetic washed in purple light and topped with disco balls. The cocktail menu is as creative as the neighborhood, featuring signature drinks like the "Pillow Prince" and "Guest Star," alongside a thoughtful selection of non-alcoholic options. More than just a lesbian bar, The Bush is a cultural hub that hosts everything from poly mixers and queer speed dating to high-octane DJ sets. While the space is a haven for sapphic energy, it remains welcoming to gay men and allies who appreciate a space rooted in intersectional joy and safety. For anyone looking to experience the authentic, soulful side of Brooklyn’s queer renaissance, The Bush is an essential stop on your New York City journey.
