HK Hall

Dancing · New York, NY

About

Walk into a retro 70s music hall with an open-air rooftop that makes every show feel like a private party. HK Hall hosts concerts and events that draw a mixed straight-gay crowd from all over New York. The space is trans-friendly, families are welcome, and the whole place operates on a live-entertainment energy that feels genuinely inclusive.

This venue was Stage 48 before its current incarnation, and it's owned by a Stonewall veteran who was actually there in 1969. That bit of history gives the place more weight than your typical Hell's Kitchen bar. The rooftop lounge is the real draw for groups, especially when the weather's good.

Located in Hell's Kitchen, a neighborhood known for its bustling nightlife and proximity to Broadway theaters.

“Still the Better than all the Rest!”

This has been my go-to spot for 11 years, ever since the Stonewall uprising where I took part. I'm the author of what's considered the gay revolution's key text. Catch me in New York this June.
