Ginger's Bar

A beautiful atmosphere…. It’s somewhere I could definitely see myself wanting to hang out. However, I walked in and quickly realized I was the only black person and it was HUGE turn off…. I did have hope that as the oldest lesbian bar it would feel more diverse. Just a heads up if you’re a black queer person exploring new spaces. Come with friends?

A lovely lesbian bar with welcoming and relaxing energy! The outdoor back patio is so cute and I love that they let you bring outside food in. The shirley temple was utterly delicious (with three cherries!!!) and only $3!

Classic chill sapphic space!! Support queer femme small businesses! 🙂 Both outdoor and indoor spaces, dancing, pool, and bar. Note that she’s cash only, although there is an ATM on site. Lots of fun events!! Open late! : )

Very jovial place and welcomes everyone! Had great times in a low key spot. Low key as in chill, not the great history of gingers as a Park Slope institution. That's why we love it!

I liked the place, weekday, for a beer. Took off a star because when you want to go out and escape the mambo jumbo…. The last thing you need is Zoran and that smile staring at you all night. Politics don’t belong in bars … just sayin

Love to come here with friends! The service is ….. interesting? But I’m sure it’s because the staff probably puts up with a lot. Don’t let that get in the way of having a good time though! I still give it 5 stars because it’s a place we always have a nice time at, I like that they have a pool table and outdoor seating. The people working door are always sweet and most of the bartenders are decent. I would recommend coming with friends to hang out after work.

My friends and I went to Ginger’s earlier today after the pride parade in Manhattan. It had a great atmosphere and drinks. We wound up leaving to get food and were told we were welcome back to eat our food there as long as we cleaned up after ourselves. When we came back we were let in by the bouncer, but the bar tender called us over to re-check my friends ID. They asked her a bunch of questions related to her age and she answered every single one correctly but we were still kicked out. The bar tender was condescending and made a completely unnecessary comment to my friend. We’re turning 25 this year… They handled this unprofessionally and didn’t even use an ID scanner to verify the validity of it. It was very confusing because when we were in earlier, we were served alcohol without our IDs being checked by a different bar tender. I wish we had a better experience. The bar had a lot of potential.
