The Highwater
Your ticket to paradise
About
Think a gay bar means dark leather and sticky floors? The Highwater trades that for a breezy tropical escape right on Broadway in Astoria. This LGBTQ-owned hotspot serves the iciest frozen drinks and creative cocktails, plus a full menu to curb your cravings. Avant Garbage, the trash queen, hosts drag shows on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month.
The vibe is playful and energetic, with a crowd that's trans-friendly and ready to unwind. It's a great stop before heading to nearby venues like The Delancey for more nightlife. Prices are moderate for the area, and the patio-like atmosphere keeps things light.
