Metropolitan

This well-established, low-key Williamsburg hangout draws a good blend of arty gays and lesbians (plus LGBTIQ+ allies) with its cool staff, cheap drinks, outdoor patio and groovy DJs. During the summer, it’s known for Sunday backyard BBQs, while the fireplaces light up in winter. Late Tuesday nights feature 'Queeraoke' (where the 'most spirited' performer gets a $25 bar tab).
