Recommended Bars & Clubs in Fire Island:
Ice Palace

The Ice Palace is the big bawdy grand dame of the Cherry Grove nightlife scene. Perched in the center of town, the spacious bar and club hosts nightly shows and parties, and boasts a fab and starry roster of drag talent, veering from classic kitsch to cool downtown NYC divas. Come the weekend, the daytime scene by the pool is fabulous and fun, with poolside shows from divas like Logan Hardcore, Dallas Dubois and Ariel Sinclair.

You can come and buy a day pass for the pool ($10) lounge it up and sip cocktails for hours; you can also buy a season day pass for the pool (rates change seasonally)—usually a bargain if you’ll be coming back often.

Highlights of the summer events include Daniel Nardicio’s Thursday Night Burlesque; Friday Night’s Underwear Party; Saturday afternoon’s Pool Party (3pm) with Dallas Dubois & Logan Hardcore; Porsche Live on Saturday nights (8pm-10pm) and Sundays (6pm-8pm); Monday nights bring Broadway on the Beach.
