Overview

There's a new theme for every night of the week at this tiny, friendly and unpretentious West Village gay bar.

History

Free drag every night on Christopher Street

Pieces was established in 1993 and calls itself America's favorite gay dive bar¹. When we listed it, it was tiny, friendly and unpretentious, with a new theme for every night of the week; these days every night brings a free drag show on its intimate cabaret stage¹. It still serves the LGBTQ community from its spot at 8 Christopher Street, open daily from 2pm^{1, 2}.
