Ty's Bar NYC

A historic presence in the New York gay scene, Ty's stands as one of the city's earliest gay bars to emerge post the 1969 Stone Wall Riot. Established in 1972, this gay-owned and operated bar has maintained a strong connection with its roots. With a focus on serving a diverse range of patrons, Ty's has historically attracted those from the Levi's/T-shirt, leather, and bear communities.

The bar prides itself on its inclusive atmosphere, eschewing attitudes and offering a warm, friendly environment. Staff members are known for their helpfulness and patrons appreciate the value-for-money drinks. Welcoming both tourists and locals, Ty's has cultivated a sense of belonging that transcends borders.

Supporting the community, Ty's actively sponsors various events and charities. Additionally, it holds the distinction of being the official bar for Fireflag/EMS and the Empire City Motorcycle Club. Notably, it's also the home of the 'Ty's Jesters' softball team, further cementing its role as a vibrant hub in the community.
