Bars & Nightlife

Jumbo's Clown Room

after hours.

bussi bar (berlin)

I’ve been offline living my best life in berlin. One of the better nights was here - good lighting, good seating, many strangers who became friends. You can smoke inside. It’s a winner

La Gare Le Gore - 19th Arr.

Excellent jazz and live music upstairs (La Gare) and hardcore clubbing downstairs (Le Gore). Awesome spot!

Harbor Room (est. 1951)

the tiniest bar in Los Angeles County 🐭

Tom Bergin's Pub

C-Boy's Heart & Soul

Admittedly got here rather late after two other bars but had an incredibly surreal evening...in a good way! Including a horse walking into the bar ahead of me, a fantastic live soul band, murals, some elderly dirty dancing...I could go on.

Bo-Bi

If you hate the smell of cigarettes don’t enter, it’s a smoking bar & almost every single person inside is smoking. This could potentially be a nightmare depending on the night, but it’s a beautiful bar (Opened by a sailor in 1917) and the drinks are inexpensive. The service is bad, but that’s not why you’re there.

The Pint

Gay bingo!

Ear Inn

THE oldest bar in new york.

The Continental Club

Here since 1955 and full of energy, live music, vibes and the odd legend. We went late night and then again at 3pm to watch Johnny Cash's keyboardist plink the odd note on the piano after being wheeled onstage by my mildly drunk friends. His elderly roadie positioned with an oxygen tank gleefully filmed them all dancing. A place to make some memories.

screening room underneath the wythe hotel

Seats 70 and has a speakeasy bar attached, too!

Ginger's Bar (Brooklyn)

An Irish lesbian bar?? The oldest lesbian bar in Brooklyn?? Ginger’s is a Park Slope institution and personally very important to me. I’ve hosted two Gaza fundraisers here, and they’ve been so lovely. I always feel so safe and comfortable when I walk in, even if I’m in full stress-mode before an event. Can’t believe I hadn’t already recommended it.

Sunny's Bar

sunny’s has been open for 136 years. when owner sunny balzano passed in 2017, his widow tone johansen tapped the community and organized to buy out 18 members of his extended family who were ready to sell their shares in the property. thank god she succeeded.

potato head beach club bali

The pool. The vibe. The beach club.

Chez Jay

been a long time coming… but when on the West side…? Fab. Want to come back and chuck even more peanut shells on the floor

Bacareto da Lele, Venice

Small sandwiches 1,40€ Beer or wine 1,30€ Have a few while people-watching then have pinchos and Aperol next door.

1-800-LUCKY

Go for some late dumplings, stay for the DJ that starts spinning in the yard 🪩

Dee’s Lounge: Nashville, Tennessee

Dee’s was my absolute favorite place for music when I lived in Nashville. A locals only type hole in the wall away from all the tourists. It never matters who’s playing on that stage, because they’re almost always better than anything you’ll hear on the radio- and the Old Fashioned always had the best bourbon soaked cherries.

Refuge, Brooklyn

By far theeeee best all-around club in NYC right now. No phones, perfect sound, elevated dj booth (so less people “watch” the dj), great outdoor space, goes till morning, serves breakfast, sprung floors so your knees don’t hurt from dancing all night. Hosts many styles, but i’ve never seen a bad dj here. Love it forever <3

The Hot Mess

Coziest, cutest, most welcoming bar in Lincoln. In a college town full of fratty establishments this is an oasis. This is their description of themselves: "The isle of misfit toys...you can swing any which way you like when you're here; as long as you're cool with everyone else swingin' the way they want. We've got draft, canned & bottled beer, spirits, chips, ping pong, pool, a smoking area & a solid crowd of good people."

20000 Lieues Marseille

Fabulous local bar for live music and great vibes

blipsy bar

Ktown dive bar with great arcade games and a SERIOUSLY interesting vibe. Go here and feel like a video game character.

witches cottage noho

Physically proximate to (and spiritually) Burbank—-another labor of love by a group of hard working friends creating the space they want to see in the neighborhood. So wild, so weird (best way possible), such an occasion.

searching for a bday venue

i’m looking for a good back room, bar, for a large birthday meet up! (30+ people ish) needs- built in vibes, allowed to bring in a cake, no food, east side ish
