Gingers Bar

Love to come here with friends! The service is ….. interesting? But I’m sure it’s because the staff probably puts up with a lot. Don’t let that get in the way of having a good time though! I still give it 5 stars because it’s a place we always have a nice time at, I like that they have a pool table and outdoor seating. The people working door are always sweet and most of the bartenders are decent. I would recommend coming with friends to hang out after work.

This unassuming bar exudes an energetic atmosphere! Its LGBTQ friendly and operates on a cash-only basis.I adore the expansive backyard area—perfect for relaxed conversations and enjoying a drink. Inside, the space is elongated, featuring bar seating and high tables. Both the staff and patrons are exceptionally welcoming!

I love Gingers. I came here with my new wife and two best friends / witnesses after getting married last year, and I hosted my top surgery celebration (tata to my tatas) here last week. It was the perfect place to toast two very important moments of my gay little life. A wonderful, warm atmosphere, decent drinks prices and happy hour, lovely little garden, and great events and pool table. I love the bartenders here too, who are always friendly and chatty. I would implore you to bring your dates, new wives, best friends, family and colleagues here to celebrate events big and small - and you can email them to easily make a resrvation, and bring your own food in too.

CASH ONLYGreat spot, the backyard was well set up too! People were very friendly!

The vibe is cool, fair prices, they have a pool table and the music was good. Popular bar in Brooklyn. It’s a cash only bar so go prepared but they also have a ATM machine inside.

Gingers used to be a fun diverse bar but i had a couple racist experiences and idk if i’ll be going back! very white space. if gingers wants to be a more welcoming space POC, they should reach out to QTPOC community to hold events and parties there

Cash only but I love this bar so much. They often have DJs on the weekends and support so many cool movements. It will forever be my safe space even though I moved from the city.

Great bar, good prices and nice staff 👍 will be back before we go home! Special mention to the Spurs fan bartender who we had a good chat with 👍

Cool.. low key bar. Backyard patio.Plenty of ladies. Cool vibes.Cash only.

No Guinness on tap 😭😭 with guinness signs EVERYWHERE! didnt realize it was cash only - my friend and I had our beers physically taken away from us while I mentioned that I needed to run to the ATM, which felt a touch overdramatic. the bartender also didnt bother to mention that there was actually an ATM right behind us as they were so preoccupied with taking away our beers.. cute spot though, I loved the patio in the back and the pool table.

Super popular bar with a wonderful vibe. Music is a lot of fun. Good selection of drinks. Cash only but worth it.

So glad my friend brought me here. Now I feel like I have a safe, fun place to go, even if I am alone. It is cash only but they have an ATM. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Come play some pool with us!

The bar was cash only. Had a great time reuniting with old friends. Great drinks and everyone was friendly

Such a cool bar! But the bartender working was incredibly rude and condescending. Super disappointing since there aren’t a many safe places for queer woman and I personally felt unwelcome the entire night. :(

Sick queer bar. Great back patio and great vibes. Pool table!

Wonderful place. Old fashioned, dim interior. Good prices and great banter. Serves all generations in an unpretentious environment.

Lovely ambience here. Quite spacious too, and great prices on drinks. Patio out back is really cute.

The place is charming, and the staff were friendly. I had a paloma and a tequila sunrise, both were delicious (and strong.) I am a gay man and I felt welcomed, however I only came with one other female friend because she wanted to check it out. There is also a charming and spacious outdoor space in the back. There are many great places in the area to grab a bite, not sure if the bar had food or not - wasnt looking for it. Cash only bar, but there is an ATM.

My girlfriend and I went here several times on our trip to NYC and it was our favorite bar of the ones we visited. Their drinks are very reasonably priced (cash-only, but there is an ATM inside) and the staff is very friendly. The vibes and decorations are great and you see a wonderful mixture of women there (its not strictly young, old, fem, butch, etc.). The music isnt overbearingly loud, the drink names are fun, and the outdoor seating out back is quite nice.My only concern is that the maintenance is a bit lacking. In one of the bathrooms, I noticed that the door frame had taken quite a beating, and you can see that there are two layers of tiles on the floor because the top layer has broken off in some parts. Not that I expect perfection (especially in a bar with cheap drinks), but I do worry some of the deferred maintenance on display will create a serious repair bill in the future that would be much cheaper to deal with now. Also, the pay phone doesnt work.

Always a great time, drinks are reasonably priced, theres ample space to either hang on the back patio, play pool, or sit at the bar and talk. its missing a DJ on fri/sat nights and is cash only but will be one of my local spots

CASH ONLY- Gingers feels like a sanctuary and Im so grateful for it. Gritty but warm, feels like walking into a piece of history. The patio out back that was finished this summer is one of my favorite places at night. Everyones friendly, bar is well stocked, and vibes are good. Definitely a safe space.

Convenient spot. Good affordable drinks. Great Music. Only downside, Cash Bar only ATM on site. Bartenders are hefty on the Libations.

Lovely oasis, nice bar staff and friendly lesbian crowd

Decent place. Crowd is kind of young. Better than some places in the city. A bit more welcoming for trans folks, but not very diverse. The drag shows are ok.

One of the last remaining lesbian bars in the United States, located in the charming neighborhood of Park Slope Brooklyn. Frequently hosts queer events but every night is great. Ramen place just down the block (with vegan options!) makes for a perfect full evening out.

Hi! How can I connect with someone at this bar? Is there a phone number/email?

A very casual place. Big outdoor area to sit in the warmer months. Hang with your queer friends talking, drinking, playing music, and shooting pool.

Just a heads up they still ask for vax cards 😒. We hated to support that discrimination but still went in and had a beer. Bartenders were great and the space takes you back to a lodge at an old resort on a lake. Very lovely!

Quiet, bartender warm, nice and not stuck up when I asked to just use bathroom and converse briefly. Loved hearing that they are still around despite the pandemic and the resulting hardship of business pressures. Going stronger than ever! Hip hip hurray!!!!!

Gingers has always been my home away from home. Its been my go-to place to be in a fun, safe, queer space since I moved to New York 10 years ago. There is a difference between hanging with queer friends in a straight space and hangingwith queer friends in a queer space.The service has always been incredible, the staff have always been wonderful, and the venue (especially in the backyard!) has been so perfectly curated to meet friends, take first dates, or just have a drink among friendly strangers without feeling out of place or unwanted.Gingers is critical to the queer scene in Brooklyn and I cant wait to be back.

Perfect vibes, friendly kind people in the bar and behind the bar.

Love this place! One of the few lesbian bars left in the city, and it seems like business is booming. Laid back vibe, friendly staff and clientele, really enjoy going here with my partner and friends.

I have been here twice, and both experiences were good plus enjoyable. Cool staff and I have always ran into friendly patrons in this establishment. If you are looking to just chill and mind your business, no one will harass you. I recommend Gingers Bar if you are in the Park Slope area.Oh if you are a bigot and intolerant of others who are proud of their sexuality and own it. Do not come here.

A cool chill relaxing spot for a good evening . The bartenders are friends and atmosphere is open, i like that they have a backyard , pool table in the back andnice open areas to dance and even tables to sit and chill, definitely a place ill be back to and recommend

My friends and I used to come here every weekend, I moved for work so I dont get to go as often. But every time I come home I stop by. Possibly the best LGBT bar in Bk... used to be all lesbian, but Im thinking the crowd has expanded lol. Great music and drinks tho.

Good. Not excellent.

Wow, nice experience..woman off the hook. Get there early, and it gets crowded, plus a long line to get inside...limted wear.. Adults only. Everyone respects each other boundaries..

Feels like an old time bar for lesbians. Cheap happy hour drinks, attentive bar tender, $1 pool games. Really chill vibe. Dont order mixed drinks though, stick to bottled beer or whats on tap. Fun jukebox music.

Everyone in this bar was so incredibly friendly! Fun people flock here to dance and hang out with no matter who you are. Pool table inside and a cute yard with seating outside. Yard open later than most. Keep you music choices upbeat if you hit the jukebox!

Great atmosphere, affordable drinks & really enjoyed the DJ last Friday night.

I absolutely LOVED my time in Gingers Bar with my little Amorcita! The establishment was clean and appealing. There was a birthday party going on in the back and revelers relishing a game of pool. I perched in the Divas Den chair and smiled at the friendly stream of passing faces! And the music was great!

Excellent service and very chilled atmosphere. Leo specifically is an awesome bartend. Great drinks and good conversation! Will definitely be back :))

My favorite queer bar in the city. Love the patio out back and the bartenders are always so nice and friendly. I appreciate non alc options on the menu too

I love this bar. It’s diverse and inclusive. It has a very laid back feel and it’s very sociable and easy to speak with people and make new friends. Even a shy person would be easily befriended in this warm environment. Thanks Gingers!

Vibes is very chill. Nice outdoor area. Affordable drinks

Always a good time. Beautiful night to sit in the backyard. Rebuilding the back area giving a bit more room. Pics where taken but Clooneys Tequilla and Tacate beer made them a tad bit blurry hmmmmm

Great space, friendly bar tenders, cant comment on the drinks because I havent had any. Really enjoyed karaoke night!

This is one of the popular bars among my friends, I didnt like the annoying staff, the atmosphere is not bad, and so I wont give 4 less.

As a black woman, a bar that has mammy and uncle tom figurines as decoration is a completely unacceptable location for me. Especially during the time we are living in now, you need to do better Gingers. Unless racism is what this company is about promoting, otherwise it is not for me. Be wary my fellow POC, the staff isnt very friendly either. My suggestion: just stay away.

A staple bar for the lgbt community and A MUST for any lesbian/gay traveller. Great vibe, affordable drinks, friendly staff and diverse crowd. Also, a theres a really cute outdoor space for the warmer months, which is rare in Brooklyn.

Hi, To the owner of Gingers Bar. I came in yesterday around 6pm, a Tuesday evening for Happy Hour with my best friend to shoot some pool and have a drink. This was my 2nd time at Gingers. My friend and I are not impressed at all. You have a great space, awesome location too however, the whole vibe is wrong. First, why have a man bartending for Happy Hour? You need a hot woman Artist like myself with a following to be behind your Bar during Happy Hour. No lesbian wants to see an old troll behind a lesbian Bar in Downtown Brooklyn. The music is not free either!!! What the heck is this all about? 1.00 per song on Juke Box really? Please get it together at Gingers Bar. I would love an opportunity to step up your game and show you how to pack the place and make real money. Please feel free to contact me.

I went there alone and had a drink and sat there watching the crowd grew and not long after people were smiling and chatting with me.I met some awesome people played pool, sing along and danced ...Bartenders were super nice.

Great decor, amazing vibe, excellent service. The back outdoor area is lovely too. Came here for a mixer but would definitely come by just for drinks next time Im in the neighborhood.

Came here because its one of last lesbian bars in the world so I was a little disappointed to see a dude behind the bar. Was very divey and not in the fun way that Cubbyhole is. Im in my 30s and Im pretty sure I was the youngest woman there... Im not planning to go there again.

Awesome lesbian bar in Park Slope. One of the few left in the city. The back area is huge, has a backyard and has plenty of spaces to sit down and chill.

Sheilas spot is back and better than ever. Fun LGBTQIA+ bar with pool table and outdoor garden. Cash only.

Everyone seems to get along at this local Park Slope favorite. Park Slope prices. Conveniently located near transportation. B-63 and R-train.Come and check it out. Youll have a good time.

Came here for the first time on Monster Movie Monday and saw Jennifer’s Body. Great vibes. Cute place.

Always a fun time at Gingers. Its cash only! so come prepared. The pool table in the back is fun and you can end up in a dance contest if youre feeling free

My fav bar so far. Amazing attendance and great place to be with friends. LGBTQIAPNb+ friendly

Gingers Bars patrons are the neighborhood terrorists. Screaming and yelling at 3-4am every single night near closing. The bartenders ignore the phone, and when asked to keep it down in person, the drunken customers are belligerent and indignant. Theyve set off a car alarm, had verbal shouting matches, and obviously were driving home drunk. They also delete negative reviews about their behavior on facebook.

Tap about average price wise but C**** lite was 2.50 at 330 pm Sat. Cash only bar .Always ask for happy hour specials

It was good I was invited for the first time definitely good home-made pizza from the dough to the drinks, pretty awesome 👌😎

Fun place to be, great staff. Can be busy at times, but doesnt seem to bother other people (Im fairly anti-social). Love Sheila the owner.

I love this bar so much. The outside patio’s revamp is so fab too (ok I hadn’t been in a while!)

Awesome place. Great mixed crowd. All gender expressions allowed! :D great drinks. Cozy atmosphere.

Best bartenders in the world!

Best bar in Brooklyn! Bartenders are so nice!

Chill lesbian bar in a cute stretch of Park Slope. Cash only fwiw. Good for groups!

Sadly, this bar is still closed :( me and me girlfriend walk here every few weekends because the google page says open - please save your time and wait until maybe its possible to call. really hope they open back up soon!

Go there at least once a week! Great staff! Friendly atmosphere! Great music! Karoke every other Thursday!

Huge space. Indoor and outdoor seating.Jukebox and pool table. Lgbtq safe space. Ive been here plenty and never leave disappointed.

FYI, this bar does not stay open late on Mon-Weds. I paid for an Uber all the way out there because Google hours are listed as closing 4am. I arrived at 2 am and was turned away.

Love the friendly atmosphere. I’ve met so many cool folks here.

Come early for the happy hour and a seat in their really nice open backyard, or pick up a pool game with one of the regulars. Everyone is welcomed with open arms.

I love the vibe of this bar. The service was good. I totally support Gingers. We need more places like these in the area.

The waiter was really rude, gave us the finger and told us to f...off because we did not tip. I have never experienced anything like that before.

A staple. Brooklyn’s last dyke haven. Cash only and a great time. You’ve got to check it out!

Fine place but not friendly to ts fans of baseball

Great music.

Best Best Best time ever!...very friendly staff, everyone i met was wonderful and the drinks rock

A cozy queer dive, with a chill atmosphere and a great crowd. Lovely garden out back, when the weather is nice.

They called my real ID fake and turned me away. Lol

Finally it re opened .I have so many memories with this place .And I will never forget them.Thatd why I am greatful..plz guys re open the backyard! Love ya.

Very weird experience here. Didn’t feel welcomed.

Good place to have a couple of drinks , relax ,watch the tube, or listen to music and shoot some pool. Very friendly

Great music, great vibes.... Prices for the vodka & cranberry was a little on the expensive side but it can be overlooked.

Awesome bar very cozy. The prices are right love this place I will definitely go back

I hope that Gingers survives because its such a comfort knowing Ill always be able to visit a lesbian bar whenever Im in Brooklyn

Total kill of a great night, stepped in only to be told it’s a cash bar. It’s 2022…. Stop sleeping in the 70s

Cute lesbian bar. Good drinks, cool environment and dancing bartender was great too

Gingers rocks! Great lesbians to hang out with and good drinks. Wish it had more food.

A friendly neighborhood joint full of interesting people had a great time

Service sucked ass.. Then it hit me after looking around and realizing that the lady talking to my wifey was hitting on her. LOL!!! Service sucked because Im hetero.. #TheIrony

Great neighborhood bar... nice outdoor space... VERY LGBT friendly.

I would one hundred percent come back.

Always a good time remembeer its cash only and go straight to the patio if the weather is nice!

I love Gingers, its cozy. Bartenders are very sweet. We need more women...BUT LOVE IT.

Great bar, great drinks and great owner. 5 stars!

You gotta love the lesbian I mean they give you everything

Great local dive. Great bartenders. Great crowd. Very low-key, unassuming.

Nice low key bar for the LGBTQ community. Good drink specials.

Irish. Friendly. Cash. Only. Open. Mic. Gay :)

One of the few lesbian bars in Brooklyn, no dancing space but has a backyard

Pool table and nice outdoor and indoor seating space

Super nice bartender, great ambience, pool table and a great outdoor space

The crowd was fun! Met some new faces and played pool. Spacious.

Great atmosphere. Super nice bartenders.

Good prices, friendly atmosphere 😊

Good mixed crowd, pretty good Dj and strong drinks for a resonable price

It’s a nice place to have few beers and talk

Cool place open minded awesome okay pool table nice backyard

Adequate place, ok service. Happy that we are able to play some jams @ the jukebox!

So like it so spacious and they got pool and a backyard love the atmosphere

Great lesbian bar in Brooklyn. Wish there were more of these in New York and New Jersey.

Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE open the backyard now that Omicron is ruining our lives again? PLEASE I dont even care what you have going on back there!

Legends!!

Nice place to chill and hangout. Although i dont drink.

Welcoming, cosy place for a drink and a chat. There is a very nice backyard, too

Great bar with a patio

What a treasure for the neighborhood! So happy this reopened. Go Ginger’s!!!

Lovely bar and great vibes!

Fun place outdoor backyard smoking area pool table

They never answer the telephone, so you cant call to see if theyre open or hopping or having a special. Thats bad for business.

Great drinks, and Charis is a wonderful bartender!

Great open mic, amazing acts

Nice spot to hang out with friends on the weekend and vary affordable 👍👍👍

It was nice .but not the same vibes that it used to have. It feels like its soulless now.

Freaking love the patio and the baby dykes that come out on the weekends

A nice a bunch gals and guys playing pool, singing and dancing

Nothing to say just here the Bartenders are friendly guys 😊, i absolutely recommend you this place

Great atmosphere, great staff, 100% support this location.
