Profile

Ginger's looks like a grubby old-timers' joint, with a long wooden bar up front and a pool table in the back room. But with the ladies in control, this unpretentious lesbian and gay watering hole is cleaner and brighter. Now that the Slope's nightlife has been discovered by the area's Sapphic population, it's the Manhattan girls who are forced to schlep out to Kings County for a good time (not the other way around). Ginger has begun to cultivate a more mixed (straights included) crowd. — Charles Runnette

Gingers as a place to go "OUT"

As a transgendered person I found Gingers to be for the most part friendly. I would and will go back.

It doesnt get any worse

This has got to be the worst place in Brooklyn! Catering to the gay community is an understatement. This bar caters ONLY TO THE GAY COMMUNITY. If a straight person dare set foot into this establishment, they are made to feel so uncomfortable with remarks and looks that you have no choice but to leave. For a nice change why not go to Roxberry in Bay Ridge where you can dance, drink and socialize with both gay and straight customers as well as karaoke and a great DJ !!
