Gay bars south jersey
The LGBTQ bars in New Jersey are a vital part of keeping in-person connections alive for our community. As the most densely populated state in the union, the Garden State is a true melting pot. Our declare represents what it means to be American: no matter who you are or where you come from. We all deserve a chance to survive in harmony and find others with whom we can share solace. With so much diversity packed into such a small vacuum, it’s no surprise that we possess historically had one of the most thriving queer communities in the region.
Now that Identity Month is in full swing, it’s the perfect second to celebrate the spaces that foster connection, belonging, and identity. LGBTQ bars are more than just places to hang out — they are protected havens where lgbtq+ people are not alone. Before apps like Grindr made their way into the world, the “gay” bar was the only place people found connection.
There were so many places back then that allowed the LGBTQ community to forge relationships with people who were like them and feel understood. These hangouts — that some now phone “third spaces” — show us that we’re not all that different and that there are others who know what it mea
The C ’80 Pub Named Hottest Queer Bar in Northern N.J.
Drew’s campus Pub was officially named the “Hottest Queer Bar in Northern New Jersey” by the official LGBTQ+ Bar Association of America last Wednesday.
The C’80 Pub, located in the Ehinger Center, has long served as a popular spot for Queer students to spend their evenings, consume with their close friends and feel safe in their control skin. Each patron leaves feeling gayer than they did walking in, and now the Pub has an official title to boast.
Last week, following the announcement from the LGBTQ+ Bar Association of America, I made my way to the Pub to interview some of the regular patrons to get their perception on the declaration.
One patron was ecstatic about the news, and said, “Thinking about all the experiences I’ve had at the pub … They’re pretty gay.” She cited a time when two of her friends distributed their first gay kiss at the pub. She went on to say the establishment deserved the title, stating, “I believe the pub turns people gay.”
Another patron said, “The pub is the hottest gay bar in the tri-state area.” They then shared a story of their experiences at Gay and Woman loving woman bars in NYC that f

If a queer cartographer mapped out LGBTQ bars, Unused Jersey would look fancy a triangular border surrounding a hollow center. Jersey City forms the northernmost point with Pint and Six26, backing into the densely packed offerings of New York City across the river. Philadelphia occupies the southwestern outpost, while Asbury Park completes the perpendicular angle in the southeast with Paradise and Georgie’s.
What’s in the space formed by these three vertices? Nothing — a gay Bermuda triangle where the bars that dare enter soon disappear.
That’s the void that the staff of The 244 Spot hopes to saturate. The new LGBTQ exclude opened at 244 Cedar St. in South Amboy on Oct. 11 a fitting observance of National Coming Out Day.
The 244 Spot occupies an unassuming house in a residential neighborhood. It opens into an intimate lock space that has the usual mirrors and sky-high tops of any usual drinking establishment, but the real charm sits in the belly of the building. Keep going, around the pool table that testifies to the venue’s previous existence as Danny Boy’s Irish Pub, and you’ll find yourself on a dance floor of cozy proportions that’s framed by neon lights, a touch of rai
