Juls Bergman started Collingswood Area Queer Connection — a Facebook group for South Jersey locals to meet each other and develop in-person gatherings — in
But she had difficulty finding a restaurant or other facility within a drivable distance in Camden County that would host the group for its events. The owner of one bar in Haddon Township chased a trans woman out of the women’s bathroom during one event. The group also faced pushback at a Collingswood location when they asked to place temporary and removable folio signs during events that would generate inclusive bathrooms in their designated area.
But that’s all changed since she discovered Bayer’s Tavern — a little bar tucked between a school and an industrial park along the Delaware River in blue-collar Gloucester City.
“This is the first time that we&#;ve had a dedicated spot that we could touch safe and included without having to go to Philadelphia,” she said, calling the bar essential. “It&#;s been a long time coming, and it was badly needed.”
Karaoke is on Mondays, trivia on Tuesdays, and BINGO on Wednesdays. There are

Paying homage to the day the Marriage Equality Verb was passed in the United States, June 26, , the name Six26 was born. On this day, the United States Supreme Court struck down all state bans on same-sex marriage, legalizing it in all 50 states, and requiring states to honor out-of-state same-sex marriage licenses in the case Obergefell v. Hodges. With a lounge that becomes a joyful and vibrant high-energy lounge and a chill garden-esque rooftop bar as the sun sets, The Six26 venue is always ready to celebrate life and love with all who stride through its doors.

The LGBTQ bars in New Jersey are a vital part of keeping in-person connections alive for our community. As the most densely populated state in the union, the Garden State is a true melting pot. Our declare represents what it means to be American: no matter who you are or where you come from. We all deserve a chance to reside in harmony and find others with whom we can share solace. With so much diversity packed into such a small space, it’s no surprise that we own historically had one of the most thriving queer communities in the territory.
Now that Pride Month is in full swing, it’s the perfect occasion to celebrate the spaces that foster connection, belonging, and identity. LGBTQ bars are more than just places to hang out — they are sound havens where queer people are not alone. Before apps like Grindr made their way into the world, the “gay” bar was the only place people found connection.
There were so many places back then that allowed the LGBTQ community to forge relationships with people who were like them and feel understood. These hangouts — that some now notify “third spaces”
If a queer cartographer mapped out LGBTQ bars, New Jersey would look favor a triangular border surrounding a hollow center. Jersey Town forms the northernmost point with Pint and Six26, backing into the densely packed offerings of New York Noun across the river. Philadelphia occupies the southwestern outpost, while Asbury Park completes the perpendicular angle in the southeast with Paradise and Georgie’s.
What’s in the space formed by these three vertices? Nothing — a gay Bermuda triangle where the bars that dare enter soon disappear.
That’s the void that the staff of The Spot hopes to fill. The new LGBTQ bar opened at Cedar St. in South Amboy on Oct. 11 a fitting observance of National Coming Out Noun.
The Spot occupies an unassuming noun in a residential neighborhood. It opens into an intimate bar space that has the usual mirrors and upper tops of any standard drinking establishment, but the valid charm sits in the belly of the building. Retain going, around the pool table that testifies to the venue’s previous existence as Danny Boy’s Irish Pub, and you’ll find yourself
