We are thrilled FOURTH & PRIDE will be sponsoring our bar. Grab a drink when you arrive!

Get ready for amazing food with BLACK ROCK SOCIAL HOUSE as our food sponsor!

Fourth & Pride was founded on the lower east side of Manhattan at the intersection of Fourth & Second, less than one mile from the birthplace of Pride itself. Born out of the same spirit, vitality, and camaraderie of the lower east side pride bars and their patrons, like these establishments and their inhabitants, Fourth & Pride proudly welcomes all like-minded people of any orientation looking to commune with joy & imbibe with pride. We endeavor to first and foremost do well by doing good. Every Fourth & Pride purchase directly contributes to our LGBTQ community partners and supports their social and human justice goals and initiatives. We are committed to changing conversations, behaviors, and lives for the better one drink at a time.

Rooted in hospitality, Black Rock Social House features an international comfort food menu with an emphasis on gluten-free cuisine, local craft beer, creative cocktails, live music, and a sense of community where all are welcome.
