Once a vibrant heartbeat of the New York City queer scene, The Spot (located at 132 Mulberry St) remains a legendary name on every traveler's gay map. Though this iconic gay bar has officially closed its doors, its legacy as a premier destination for gay men and the wider LGBTQ+ community continues to be celebrated by locals and visitors alike. Situated in the unique cultural intersection of Little Italy, The Spot offered a refreshing, high-energy alternative to the traditional nightlife hubs of Chelsea or Hell’s Kitchen. Known for its electrifying drag brunches and inclusive atmosphere, The Spot was far more than just a place to grab a cocktail; it was a sanctuary of queer self-expression. Performers and patrons found a welcoming home here, where the drinks were masterfully poured, the music was upbeat, and the vibe was always friendly. Whether you were dropping in for a legendary weekend performance or seeking a community-focused night out in downtown Manhattan, it was an essential stop for anyone navigating the New York City queer landscape. While this specific venue has taken its final bow, its contribution to the city's nightlife is unforgettable. As you explore our gay map for your next adventure, we honor the memory of The Spot as a place that truly lived up to its name—providing the perfect 'spot' for joy, connection, and pride.
