If you passed by Club Langstons during the morning or daytime you wouldn’t know it existed. One of the unique parts of the club is that it was hidden like a speakeasy. Of course, Beyonce was played and there was a good mix of rap, R&B, and plenty of reggae. Much of the African American gay men I’ve encountered at Club Langstons were trade, rough gay men. It was part of my cherry-popping experience in the black gay social scene. This is one of the last few gay black clubs in the United States period! I think Langstons was one of the first African American gay clubs I went to. Langstons was a black gay bar & club in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn ran by Calvin Clark.

There is admission to enter Alibi unless for special events like Andre’s, Alibi’s bartender, nude-only events which are about $20.īecause of the coronavirus outbreak Alibi has been suffering like many other gay bars and lounges. At certain times there used to be special events for instance on Monday nights there would go-g0 dancers and on Sundays would be “Drunch” where unlimited mimosas and small bites would be served.
