Rawhide New York

212 8th Avenue

What is it?

Legendary cruise bar at the gay avenue at 8th in Chelsea which is there for more than 30 years. Like most of its visitors.....It's cruisy and dark. Go-go boys around seven nights a week

In the center of the Chelsea gayborhood, this tiny, smelly, dot of a place has a lot going on, but not necessarily in a good way. For one it's about as big as postage stamp and after pushing through a heavy rubber tarp to get in (it apparently is designed to keep out light, and fresh air) you will see a stage (which I am pretty sure is a crate) with a small dancer on it, a pinball machine or some device that occupies valuable space, and a cowboy/western theme.

They make a mean drink though -- I guess to get the boys too drunk to fight that damn tarp to get out.

I don't know, it is just an odd place. Don't go expecting a cowboy that the name Rawhide would imply. You might get a tired troll or a dancer working for tips until it's time to meet his friends at Alegria. Great location though.
