The shady (in a good way) roof deck at this midtown outpost of the sports-themed drinkery is a relaxed escape from the Ninth Avenue madness below—at night, you can even see stars up here.

All those dark corners can be sexy, but in the summer, a little fresh air and some sunshine are nice for those of us who don't have the means or inclination to head to Fire Island. These LGBT bars offer action under the sun (and moon) for your seasonal-drinking pleasure.
