June is Pride Month, which means New York’s queer community is ready to party and—more than ever this year—stand up for their rights.

With new management, and a renovated interior, the bar has transformed from “go-to dive” to “be seen at destination”. Here's your guide to the biggest celebrations. These regular gatherings happen every week across NYC's LGBTQ+ venues. The experience offers a chance to watch a movie on a Midtown rooftop with vegan popcorn, classic theater candy, and craft cocktails.

For Pride Month, screenings include But I'm a Cheerleader, The Color Purple, Showgirls, and more. As part of Pride Month, $1 from every Pride screening ticket will be donated to The Trevor Project. Get tickets here.
