Gay Bars near Minneapolis, MN

“My husband and I have attended several drag brunches and night time drag shows at Lush, and we have LOVED our experience. The folks are great, the disability accommodations are wonderful if you just reach out with your needs, and they are always SO kind! Love going here & HIGHLY recommend!“

“We had the best time there. Met so many wonderful kind, happy people it was so fantastic. We ended going back the next night after going to a few different places. We had just as much as fun as the first time that we went. I had a fantastic bartender. I told him what kind of drink I needed and came up with a drink for me. It was delicious and just the kind of flavor I was wanting.
He remembered me from the night before and made me the same drink again all night long. Huge shout out to Danny, a fantastic bartender with a beautiful smile and so wonderfully friendly!“

“What a wonderful and welcoming community space! One of the cheapest bars in town with 2 cute patios and a very chill dive bar atmosphere.

The staff has a ton of personality with playful banter and silly joke, you can tell they like to have fun and I love that they’re allowed to do so while at work~ plus if you frequent enough they’ll know you by name and drink order! It’s basically gay Cheers.

Every time I walk in to this establishment I make a new friend and I couldn’t ask for anything else from a local bar. Just make sure you have a valid ID (which is necessary for any bar in the state of Minnesota) and cash on hand and you’ll have a great time ✨“

“I really enjoy this place. The food is very good, which for me is always a plus because I don't really drink that much. As someone who doesn't really normally go to bars and only mostly go there for the Trivia Night on Thursdays, I always feel very comfortable here. I haven't gone to any of the other themed nights but they do look like fun.“

“Stefan is the best. very mellow place“

“Pretty iconic place and if you haven’t been you should try it once! I like to get there around 11pm when it’s busy but not elbow to elbow and I think Friday night has the best DJ. It’s hot as heck in there tho so I would dress for that or do coat check!!“
