ANIMAL: Your Brooklyn Queer Haven

A Welcoming Space for LGBTQ+ Individuals

ANIMAL is a new gay bar in Brooklyn, designed to be a safe and inclusive space for everyone. We encourage a fun, friendly atmosphere where you can express yourself authentically.

Fetish gear is welcome! However, we expect all patrons to treat each other with respect and kindness. No homophobia, transphobia, ageism, racism, sexism, violence, or other discriminatory behavior will be tolerated. If you witness or experience any such behavior, please notify a staff member immediately.

Lost and Found

We hold lost items for two weeks.

After that, items are donated to Housing Works. To inquire about lost items, please visit during our business hours, preferably outside of peak weekend hours. You can also report your lost item online for easier contact should it be located. Please bring a valid ID to verify your age.

Events and Parties

We're excited to host birthday gatherings!

Private events are generally discouraged, as we prefer to keep our space open to the wider community.
