About

Bar: Full barBest nights: Thu, Fri, Sat

Icon Bar stays open until 4am every night, making it a late-night anchor for Astoria's gay scene. Serving Queens since 2017, this club packs dancing, drag shows, and go-go boys into a space designed for a VIP feel without the Manhattan price tag. The decor nods to LGBTQ+ icons, and sightings of celebs like Carmen Carrera and Amanda Lepore aren't rare.

"Friday and Saturday nights are gay-focused with go-go dancers, attractive bartenders, great DJs, and a lively crowd."

Weekdays bring happy hour with 2-4-1 drinks from 6-9pm. Thursday's "Two Hot Girls Kissing" night is a dedicated lesbian event, while weekends turn heavily into go-go gods and dance beats. It's steps from the Broadway N/Q train, so you can skip the city crowd entirely.

Located in Astoria near the Broadway N/Q train station, this club is a short walk from several other bars and restaurants on Broadway.

“Icon = Epic Times!”

At last, a cool gay club in Astoria that has a similar energy to what Krash used to have, but with a more upscale crowd. I adore everything about this place — the attractive staff and go-go dancers, the amazing atmosphere, and the nods to historical icons. The decor and overall vibe are wonderful. DJ Amoroso delivers incredible beats, and I can't believe the celebrity sightings, including Carmen Carrera, Amanda Lepore, and many gay celebrities from Kaufman Astoria Studios. Finally, we have our own piece of Hollywood in Astoria. I also love that they cater to lesbians on Thursdays — a classy touch. I can't wait to return.

“ICON bound to be Iconic”

ICON is a nicely intimate club located just up the street from the Broadway N/Q subway stop. It's extremely convenient for LGBTQ+ folks in Queens who don't want to travel into Manhattan. The capacity is about 150-200 people, and the staff is absolutely amazing. They truly treat everyone like a VIP, from the door staff to the bartenders, making you feel welcome. Weekdays have happy hour from 6-9 PM with 2-for-1 drinks. Wednesdays feature a fun mixed crowd enjoying DJ Amoroso's music. Thursdays are 'Two Hot Girls Kissing' night hosted by Maria and Natalie Rivzz with DJ Danigirl. Friday and Saturday nights are gay-focused with go-go dancers, attractive bartenders, great DJs, and a lively crowd. Sunday T-Dance runs from 4-7 PM with 2-for-1 drink specials, perfect for a lazy Sunday. It's a great alternative to going into the city.

Over a year ago. Hottest gay spot in Astoria! The entire staff is very friendly, from the door people to the bartenders to the go-go boys. Cute crowd, great music, and a fun vibe. Best part: close to the subway (N/Q Broadway stop).
