Draft:9th Avenue Saloon
9th Avenue Saloon is a gay bar in the Hells Kitchen neighborhood of New York City's borough of Manhattan. It became known for its popcorn.[1] It is located on 9th Avenue between 45th and 46th Streets and may be the neighborhood's oldest gay bar, as long as one of the city's oldest.[2][3]
As of 2022 when it reopened under the same name following a two-year closure and renovation,[4][5] it is gay owned and operated for the first time in its history.[2][6]
The bar features in Rough Trade, a 2023 Off-Broadway play.[7]
