An unpretentious Christopher Street drinking hole with strong pours and a loyal bear and leather crowd since 1972.
About
Ty's Bar has been pouring drinks on Christopher Street since 1972, making it one of the oldest gay bars in the neighborhood. Inside, the long wooden bar and low lighting set a relaxed, divey tone. The room feels unpretentious and familiar, with people chatting easily across the counter. It has long been a gathering spot for bears, leather fans, and an older crowd of neighborhood regulars. Bartenders pour generous drinks and keep conversation flowing with visitors and locals alike. Later in the evening, the narrow space fills up with groups hopping between spots along the street. It also serves as the clubhouse for groups like the Empire City Motorcycle Club.
