Pink Metal

Nestled in East Williamsburg's bustling bar strip, Pink Metal bursts with neon-lit energy, offering a kaleidoscope of craft cocktails, queer-friendly revelry, and boundary-pushing nightlife. This Bushwick Avenue hotspot transforms its industrial bones into a glittering sanctuary where mixology meets mischief.

Aesthetic & Atmosphere
Bathed in magenta hues and adorned with floral accents, the space channels a retro-futuristic speakeasy vibe. Patrons bask under neon signs in a room dotted with cheeky art and disco balls, while the covered backyard patio—heated for year-round use—blurs lines between dive bar and dreamscape[1][2][4].

Liquid Creativity
The cocktail menu dances between playful and sophisticated. Standouts include the Pink Straddler (vodka, Campari, grapefruit fizz) and the smoky-meets-citrus Down 2 Clown with mezcal and ginger[2]. Daily happy hours (5-8PM) offer $5 wells and $2 off signature drinks, making luxury accessible[1][2].

Entertainment Extravaganza
Pink Metal’s event calendar thrums with subversive energy:

• Weekly burlesque shows featuring feather boas and fire-eating
• Drag queen DJ sets shaking the intimate dance floor
• Fetish figure drawing classes where art meets risqué
• Tarot readers and variety acts under rotating disco lights[1][2][4]

Community Heartbeat
More than a bar, it’s a LGBTQ+ safe haven where "sex-positive" isn’t just a slogan—it’s embodied through inclusive staff and crowd. The space regularly collaborates with queer performers and hosts pop-up kitchens from immigrant chefs, creating a mosaic of cultures on small plates[2][4].

Since opening in 2020 during pandemic uncertainties, Pink Metal has defied NYC’s bar turnover trend by fostering radical joy—one glitter-coated cocktail at a time[3].
