I’ve checked and noticed that you don’t have a website. I think having one would be great for your café’s vibe, making it easier for customers to explore your menu, ambiance, and updates online! Feel free to connect if you’d like to discuss how to bring it to life!
Cash only, queer friendly dive bar with nice people and strong cocktails
Very jovial place and welcomes everyone! Had great times in a low key spot. Low key as in chill, not the great history of gingers as a Park Slope institution. That's why we love it!
I don’t even drink & wear this bar’s hat with pride. Community-driven events, fun dancing, always the best energy. Home sweet home.
Love this place. Very welcoming to queer people of all kinds. Great bar staff and amazing backyard.
Thank you Kaley for absolutely making my night! Such a safe and inclusive space, really feel at home at Ginger's and can't wait to return. Perfectly made drinks, curated atmosphere with lovely staff and excellent vibes. Thank you for a lovely park slope recluse!
This is my second home. The pool regulars are great and it’s a wonderful place to work on your game. Trivia is monthly and really fun. I came here the day after the election and it was such a safe and positive place to be. I looked up from my pool game and saw smiles and laughing and knew that was exactly what I needed that day. The staff and other regulars have become my friends, and I’m really happy to be a part of this community.
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.
I liked the place, weekday, for a beer. Took off a star because when you want to go out and escape the mambo jumbo…. The last thing you need is Zoran and that smile staring at you all night. Politics don’t belong in bars … just sayin
This unassuming bar exudes an energetic atmosphere! It's 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!
A beautiful atmosphere…. It’s somewhere I could definitely see myself wanting to hang out. However, I walked in and quickly realized I was the only black person and it was HUGE turn off…. I did have hope that as the oldest lesbian bar it would feel more diverse. Just a heads up if you’re a black queer person exploring new spaces. Come with friends?
Overpriced and underpoured. As a longtime patron of the Cubbyhole, I was excited to visit the resurrection of Gingers. Unfortunately, it seems the owners are more interested in profits than community as the drinks are incredibly overpriced and underpoured. I traveled 30 mins out of my way to try this bar - it will be the first and last time. Lesbians deserve a bar that’s a safe place. Unfortunately this is not it. Thank you AND next.
All of the nem, especially the ones cosplaying, made me extremely uncomfortable. I am excluded due to their presence in a place where I am the one who belongs and I should be able to feel welcome around only other wonem. It’s horrific.
My friends and I went to Ginger’s earlier today after the pride parade in Manhattan. It had a great atmosphere and drinks. We wound up leaving to get food and were told we were welcome back to eat our food there as long as we cleaned up after ourselves. When we came back we were let in by the bouncer, but the bar tender called us over to re-check my friends ID. They asked her a bunch of questions related to her age and she answered every single one correctly but we were still kicked out. The bar tender was condescending and made a completely unnecessary comment to my friend. We’re turning 25 this year… They handled this unprofessionally and didn’t even use an ID scanner to verify the validity of it. It was very confusing because when we were in earlier, we were served alcohol without our IDs being checked by a different bar tender. I wish we had a better experience. The bar had a lot of potential.
Went here yesterday for my birthday, it’s not my first time here but yesterday there was an incident where a worker there was being disrespectful. She had black glasses with an accent. She was unprofessional and did not have to talk to us the way she did but anyways if you come here watch out for her, her arrogance was nasty . I’m not coming here ever again.
