About Gay Barchives

GayBarchives is a United States YouTube channel that documents the history of gay bars and LGBTQ+ nightlife. Its videos include interviews with bar owners, performers and patrons, slideshows of archived bar logos, and location tours. The channel has about 3,210 subscribers, a median of 187 views per video, and uploads roughly 27 videos a year.

According to the channel's own description, its audience is largely older LGBTQ+ adults with memories of the bars covered, along with younger viewers interested in queer history. These audience estimates are inferred from content and comments, not measured. Most viewers appear to be in the United States.

The channel has done little paid brand work so far. Sponsored integrations would fall in the $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views range, roughly $150 to $250 per video. That is comparable to paid ads at $10 to $30 CPM, so the channel suits brands seeking a dedicated community rather than broad reach.
