New Haven Gay Bars

Partners Cafe is the main gay bar in New Haven, Connecticut. It has been a staple in the New Haven gay scene since 1974. It's open seven days a week and it hosts regular live events, including drag shows, go-go dancers, karaoke, and club nights. Every single day of the week, there is another event or special that is ongoing, for example, there is Martini Mondays, Two for Tuesdays, Two Dollar Thursdays, and many more. The event program is regularly updated, so check their website for the latest.

168 York Street Cafe is a charming gay bar in New Haven. It's close to the Yale campus, so it often attracts the local student population. It's located in a brownstone building, and it's open seven days a week. It's one of the oldest gay bars in the state. This is, unfortunately, the only gay-owned and operated bar in New Haven. 

Charming and definitely worth a visit.
