Profile

In business since 1972, Ty's is a well-worn survivor amid the current Christopher Street mix of dirty-magazine shops, kitschy rainbow gift stores, coffee shops, and pre-Chelsea gay bars. Inside, comfort rather than fabulousness rules, with slightly rickety wood tables and chairs, a TV tuned to normal shows rather than music videos, and a big bulletin board covered with ads and local event flyers. Don't expect any sort of dress-up from the patrons, either: T-shirts, non-designer jeans, and lots of baseball caps predominate with this 30-and-up, bear-heavy crowd —who often sport beards. Friendly to a fault, Ty's isn't very cruisey since the men tend to arrive (and remain) in little groups. On the second Tuesday of each month, the place rains firemen as Ty's hosts a social night for FireFLAG/EMS, a city-wide association of gay firemen and paramedics. — John Rambow

I had a great time at this bar this past Saturday! I didn't run into a jerk bouncer like some of the other reviewers mentioned so hopefully he was fired! The gentlemen can be a bit clicky but I was welcomed with open arms and had a great time....however as a side note I'm not a bear, I'm a lipstick lesbian, I don't know if that had anything to do with my experience but I got a ton of bear hugs!
