About this place Gym Sportsbar

Gym Sportsbar on 8th Avenue in Chelsea was New York's first openly gay sports bar when it opened in the mid-2000s, and it's still the default spot to watch a game with a gay crowd. Expect lots of screens, a pool table, and a regular crowd of players from the city's LGBTQ+ softball, volleyball and other leagues, who often hold post-game drinks here. It's relaxed and easy to talk in. Happy hour is popular, and the bar fills up for big games and on Drag Race and award-show nights. A good first stop before the rest of Chelsea or a short walk down to the West Village. Google rating 4.3.
