The Toilet was once New York City’s most outrageous gay man’s Bar, housed in an old 1886 Building known as the Kelly Building and Henry Aubert Paper, Boxes on 14th street and Ninth Avenue in the Meat Packing District. The Toilet located at 400 West 14th Street from what we hear was exactly that!
Perfect bar for those “Wet n Messy” kinky voyeurs that seek out a little more excitement than just your average vanilla sex acts. In order to enter this bar you would have to enter an elevator from the ground level and take it up to the 3rd floor.
Below we have an original drink ticket “Good For One Drink” from The Toilet Bar New York City contributed to http://backinthegays.com. Anymore information on the exact year it opened and closed would greatly be appreciated. After The Toilet closed it became Lee’s Mardi Gras a crossdressing store that movies like:
-
The Birdcage
-
Tootsie
-
To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything Julie Newmar
used to help wardrobe the actors in drag queen roles. Later in the 1990s the ground floor of that same building housed Mike’s Bar which had a chub, chaser, admirer, otter night on Thursdays up until 1999.
