Gay Bars in Austin

The outdoor stage is built into the hillside, with rock terracing standing in for amphitheater seating for the bands, drag shows, and dance nights that fill the patio most weeks.

Three floors and six bars wrap around one large dance floor, making this the biggest multi-level gay nightclub in Austin.

Open since 1990, this is Austin's oldest continuously operating gay bar, anchoring the Fourth Street block that's been the city's gayborhood since the mid-1970s.

Austin's only dedicated leather and fetish bar, set in a commercial strip in Northeast Austin rather than the downtown gayborhood, which makes it a destination you drive to on purpose rather than stumble into.

Austin's only LGBTQ+ bar and grill, running a full kitchen through lunch and dinner before the back stage and dance floor take over at night.
