About 3 Dollar Bill

3 Dollar Bill is a major queer nightclub, live-music and performance venue on Meserole Street in Brooklyn. Created as an inclusive space celebrating queer identity, it offers a much larger-scale nightlife experience than a traditional neighbourhood gay bar. The venue hosts a varied programme of dance parties, DJs, drag shows, concerts, cabaret, comedy, watch parties and community events. Its calendar serves different parts of New York’s LGBTQ+ community, with events ranging from early-evening performances and social gatherings to high-energy club nights continuing into the early morning. The complex includes the main 3 Dollar Bill venue, outdoor areas known as The Yard and the adjoining 9 Bob Note space. Facilities include professional stages, substantial sound and lighting systems, a full kitchen and outdoor patio areas. The layout allows the venue to accommodate both intimate performances and large parties. Most visitors come for a specific scheduled event rather than a casual bar visit, so the atmosphere, audience, admission price and opening time vary significantly from night to night. Check the official calendar before travelling and buy advance tickets where available, particularly for major weekend events and Pride programming.

What to expect

A spacious queer entertainment complex with powerful sound, large dance floors, stages and outdoor areas. Most nights centre on a particular ticketed party or performance, so the crowd and atmosphere depend heavily on the event.

Went last weekend for one of their events and the space is very spacious! First time going here, and the environment was very welcoming and party filled. My type of vibe,but definitely will be on the lookout for more events in the future!

I exited this venue in a haze and went into the deli around the corner. Inside, a young glittery man was crying because his phone was stolen at 3DB. I tried to comfort him by joking that he is member of a growing community. Amazingly, 2 of the 6 people I went to Hot Rabbit with that same night had their phones stolen as well. The venue’s only response when we inquired about the phones was“we warned you.” As with most dance spaces, we were warned to watch our belongings. We were not warned that there is a highly prolific and skilled phone theft ring operating out of their venue. I have never been to a venue where the music had to be cut to alert people that their phones might have been stolen. Avoid this place. Also, on a slightly more petty note, they tried to charge me $5 for a glass of water when I was on the verge of passing out from dehydration which is a level of soulless capitalist no-reentry ghoulishness I find particularly foul and unsafe.

Super fun experience, was only in NYC for 2 nights and I'm glad we made the trip to this bar it was sick to see some DJ's. Beware of little heavier set bar tender with facial hair, he didn't think we'd notice him automatically add 20% gratuity to a bottle of water before charging us.... not cool. Other than that, had a great time.

Confessions II party 7/3/26. Heat wave in NYC. 85F outside. NO AC in one of the dance floors. At least 105F inside. Horrible. We had to leave after 30 min. Refund NOW!

🚨Bartender added a $12 tip for himself before handing me the card reader to pay for my drinks. Then he proceeded to charge my friend $32 each for two tequila sunrises made with well tequila and told her that it would cost less if she paid in cash. My drinks were top shelf and my total came up $20 less than hers. On top of that, they ran out of orange juice so she essentially paid $64 for two mixed well tequilas with a splash of grenadine. Please beware if you ever decide to patronize their bars because they will rob you in front of your eyes and smile in your face about it
