Gay Bars in Phoenix, AZ

“Wonderful place to hangout and enjoy the staff and atmosphere.“

“Bar 1 has been my favorite LBGTQ+ bar since I moved to Phoenix in 2005. if you enjoy the patio scene, it's always full of interesting conversations you could jump into. Inside you have your choice, sit on the leather couches alongside the fireplace, stand, sit at the retro style bar table *yes its a full length table in one, made from concrete with plenty of bar stools to find a seat, even easier to jump into a conversation for as long as it lasts or sit comfortably, chat with anyone who came with you - there are also a few other tables you can sit at as well.. In additional there's a full bar to sit around where you can normally find someone interesting to talk to - where you or they initiate. The atmosphere if you enjoy relaxing with a drink, it incredible. Almost EVERY bar is dark with empty black ceilings showing all the air & water pipes. Not Bar 1, the ENTIRE ceiling is filled with all types of chandeliers & other lighting that will warm you as hot outside it or how many inside Bar 1, is always a perfect. You will notice as you come in is the 2 pool tables & Dart Boards if your feeling a little antsy do something ese for a while. OVERALL I find Bar 1 to be for me - if you enjoy extremely loud music to dance to, whether you can hear anyone talking to you or not - Bar 1 may not be your first choice, but it will become that to you at some point! Last, point is you can't blame Bar 1 for this however, you may find some a bit rude or snobbish, etc - these are the groupies that have known each other 4yrs old to their current age that can't seem to break away f hey wanted to. They will be very conversational with you until their group comes in, then they no longer know you the rest of the night (hence - groupies), thankfully there aren't too many, depends on the night - those evenings the could looks great & more intimate. Hope you make it in, it will become your hanging place after work forward. Thanks“

“Visiting from Cali for the week, I came in on a Tuesday morning, and had the best experience ever with Ryan. He Greeted me, talked with me, and really made me feel like family. Made me feel special, and for the first time of me trying a place, this was so unique. I Will definitely tell people about this rare gem in Phoenix! Thanks Ry!“

“Bartenders here are top notch. Visited with friends and we were confronted unprovoked by an overly intoxicated patron. Bartenders went out of their way to make sure we were ok and to smooth over the situation. Was my first time there and will definitely be back.“

“Absolutely the most free expression of who you want to be ever. There were daddies, jock strap wielding hotties, pups, leather bois and just a good mix of gay male humans that aren’t caught up on stupid stuff.

What an absolutely amazing bar for Phoenix. I’m returning from Brazil and this made me feel like I was vibing in Rio.

Great staff, amazing vibes, and cheap…. Dive cheap with pure love for every human boi that walked through the leather straps to get in.

This is my bar, these are my people.“

“This was my first drag show. Maybe all drag shows are like this..Im not sure.

I didnt stay for the full show because went in with the wrong set if expectations Was expecting to see some gorgeous totally passable transsexuals but this was more like a bunch of gays on stage miming to their favorite songs and having fun.

The audience was having as well.

They dont serve food but you are welcome to bring in takeout from the neighboring restaurants.

The bartender was competent , fast and friendly. Same goes for everyone else who worked there.
The drink prices are not too high.

if you go with the right set of expectations, you should have fun.“
