Rawhide
Rawhide was a definitive fixture of the Chelsea gay nightlife scene, celebrated for its rugged, unpretentious atmosphere and its role as a gathering space for the city's leather and queer communities. It functioned as an authentic, no-frills dive bar that prioritized community and grit over polished aesthetics.
