Metropolitan

Metropolitan has been one of Brooklyn's original gay bars since 2002, with two fireplaces inside for winter and a large backyard patio that stays open year-round and does most of the work in warmer months. Regulars see the same faces on any given night, whether it's an open mic, a drag clothing auction, or the Sunday BBQs that run free food and rotating DJs from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Beer and shot specials keep the drinks cheap.
