    America's premier gay sports bar has arrived in the decidedly decadent streets of Hell's Kitchen.

    Colorful paper lanterns, tissue–paper fish and seasonal decorations hang from the ceiling. The best queer bars in NYC range from dive bars to dance clubs, with historic spots like the Stonewall Inn anchoring them all. A swirling glitterball does, however, add rather a dash of camp.

    Rise Bar is proof that you can't have enough gay bars in Hell's Kitchen.

    Happy hour, 2 PM to 8 PM (Monday-Friday) and Skinny Brunch, 2 PM to 8 PM (Saturday-Sunday).
