The Toolbox Bar

The Toolbox Bar is a long-standing gay dive bar, located in the Upper East Side.

The Toolbox hosts a range of popular events, including drag performances, karaoke, bingo, and other live entertainment. This is one of New York's more rough and ready (in a good way!) gay bars. The drag queens are known to dance and strut perilously close to your table during their performances. It's also a good spot for bottomless brunch.
