Boxers gay bar locations

Gay bar chain Boxers is getting yet another location in New York City… but is that a good thing? Last month, we shared with you the idea that Boxers could gay considered the gay Hooters. The gay-themed bar hosts a staff of men wearing a pair of red boxers as they bartend, wait on guests, and more.

Gay residents in the northwestern New York neighborhood are celebrating the upcoming arrival of the bar and the owners of Boxers are doing the same. Once Boxers has officially opened, it will be the only gay bar bar the neighborhood of Washington Heights. The last one in the area was No Parking, which shut down back in In addition, the only other club in the area is Castro.

The Dominican community, in fact, is so strong there that Heights residents who hold Dominican citizenship can legally vote for Dominican elections in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, New York City continues to be a congested city with an increasingly expensive price tag. This year seems to be a tipping point.

Unfortunately, the article also showed a grim future for Washington Heights by boxers what has happened to Williamsburg. With the location in money being spent in the neighborhood, there has also been an increase in building and construction there.

Several stores and restaurants have popped up along Broadway, the abandoned movie theater on st street is being turned into a three-story commercial center, and residential buildings are being renovated to fit a more expensive clientele. The inclusion of the gay bar Boxers just adds more wealth to the area, and could eventually make gay location too expensive for the historic Latinx community that has lived there for decades.

It always annoyed me as a kid that certain bars were women bars; men bars; black bars; leather bars; you had to be a certain thing to get in and feel comfortable. We bar women to come and have a great time and men to come and have a great time. We just want good people. The bar owners are providing a service for a network of people who need a gay bar, a sports bar, and a place to call their own.

But, does that excuse its direct influence on the change in the neighborhood? Or, is it just a example that boxers, and specifically neighborhoods, naturally change? Gay folk were instrumental in changing Key West, South Beach, and even Wilton Manors from very quiet, staid places to hip sites.

This process led to the displacement of their prior residents. South Beach used to called "God's waiting room," though that role now falls to Aventura. As wealthy people moved into the now-desirable SoBe and Key West gayborhoods, younger gay folk found alternative places to live. Though many gay bars closed as a result of the most recent transformations, some gay bars continue to serve gay residents and visitors.

Wilton Manors residents have told me that the Alibi was key in flipping that city to the more settled gayborhood that it has become. So if Boxer's move to Washington Heights is a driver of its transformation, it won't be the first time that a gay bar's establishment did so. Blame the landlords for raising the rent and pushing out poorer peoples.
