A series of dark mahogany rooms, chandeliers, leather couches, gothic balconies and bars with a consistently posh English style but with the subtle gayness of rail draped rainbow flags and a drag queen DJ. Via in particular, stood out like a camp smoking room. Even better with a mixed crowd of gays but also lots of party-ready pro-LGBT patrons from tradesman bachelor parties to bingo grandmas. Located on Canal Street, one of the most packed streets of gay bars you’ll find anywhere. Via – Manchester, England One of the many stylised rooms and corner areas of Via ion Canal Street To be honest even our straight friends loved this event haha.
Long before Grindr, in this set up, everyone in the bar gets stickered with a number upon entry and you can leave private messages in “maleboxes” that will get called out for pick up throughout the night. And a special weekly event, MaleBox is on every Wednesday. Super pink and super camp it has three floors: the first for live shows and mingling, the second floor for a bit o’ cage and stage dancing, and the third floor for bigger beats and a smoke machine.Įvery night a different event from trivia, karaoke, professionally choreographed drag shows, you name it. The Stonewall Hotel is a cornerstone of Sydney night life as it’s pretty much the only bar in the city that’s busy and draws a crowd every single night of the week.
#GAY BAR NAMES HOT PRO#
And as an American bar, they are pros at the free pour, so you get your money’s worth on every drink, especially if you’re a pro tipper! 3. With an open concept style from inside into an outdoor beer garden, it’s a great stop any evening or better yet, Sunday afternoon for a Drag Brunch. From the bar tenders to the patrons to the celebrity sightings whether it’s reality stars like Joey Graceffa (met him in the bathroom) or actors like Scott Evans (met him on the dance floor!). Let’s be honest The Abbey is probably best known for its hot guys. The Abbey has got to be one of the most famous gay bars in the world as the centre of the gay mecca, West Hollywood.

The Abbey – West Holywood, Los Angeles, U.S Two of The Abbey’s bartenders, a cover shot from the E Network’s reality TV series about the bar! Located in New York City’s gay district of Hell’s Kitchen, it’s a perfect and hilariously fun stop on a night out pub crawl (Or like us, a bachelor party) to watch an ongoing line up of cowboy booted men strutting their stuff to the tune of Americana hits, while sipping a whiskey sour or beer.
#GAY BAR NAMES HOT MOVIE#
Flaming Saddles – New York, U.Sįlaming Saddles has bar top cowboy dancers all night long!Who didn’t love the movie Coyote Ugly growing up or wanted to visit that bar? Well, replace bar top dancing country girls with hot and at times shirtless cowboys and you’ve got Flaming Saddles. And it’s gotta be easy to meet new people! For us, our favourite places are ones you can show up stone sober, and even by yourself, and you can still have a good time making new friends and partying late into the night. Other criteria, it’s not inclusive of gay events or bars that have weekly gay nights, it must be an always on, LGBT establishment. But when you’re there, it doesn’t just feel like every other gay bar. Our list is made up of our favourite bars primarily for the ones that for one reason or another, completely stand out as an original on the world stage for at least one quality whether its venue, energy, staff, style or any number of other qualities.
Ok so it’s not like we’ve been to every gay bar in the world BUT, in our travels across 29 countries, and far more cities, partying in the local gay scene has always been high on the list so we’ve still been to a TON of gay bars (+100).
