Best Gay Bars in NYC: The Ultimate Guide

Soaked is a night full of body positivity, great music, drag, bears and go-go dancers. Plus, they have a wet underwear contest! To find out more, we spoke to the organisers Matty B and J. Hi guys! My name is Matty B. I am also a special organizer for the NYC Veterans Day parade, an active member of The American Legion Post and an activist gay current active duty military and veterans needs and causes.

While working with these places I realized that I wanted to be more involved with nightlife scene and to bring something that was different to a scene that had a lot of the same parties. So when my best friend J. Rios and myself talked about what we wanted to do to change things up, Soaked was born!

My name is J. I have been bear in the club industry for over 20 years. Being a club kid opened my eyes to many opportunities in the circuit world. I was able to gain a lot of experience and knowledge from all different walks of life in the scene. As the scene declined, I realized that there would bar be anything like it again so I made a promise to myself bear moving back to New York I would create a party and bring to it what I learned in the past and create something new.

The outcome of these experiences brought us Soaked! How long has Soaked been going for? What made you start it? We thought it was time to bring back something old with a new twist in order to reinvent a declining scene. What does a typical Soaked party involve? You can also get in the mood with our resident go-go Dan Jimenez and the rest of our bar go-go boys to make your night special.

Did I forgot to mention that we have a wet underwear contest at the gay of the night, and everyone is allowed to participate?! Whoever wins the wet underwear contest that night gets a chance to become a go-go dancer for the next party the following month. They also automatically get entered into the Mr.

Soaked competition as an extra added bonus. Who can come to Soaked? We are a body positivity party and we are open to people from all different walks of life. This party is to give the everyday person a chance to be involved in the NYC nightlife when maybe they never thought they can be that dancer or performer up on stage in the community.
