Despite its size and plethora of activities to enjoy, Texas might not have the same appeal as the other larger (gayer) states in the US, destinations like California and New York. However, now that some of The Lone Star State’s biggest cities have experienced an influx of young, progressives – times are changing

Next time you’re down in Texas, check out these fantastic bars and nightclubs that cater to our community.

Dallas

You can’t talk about being gay in Dallas without mentioning Station 4. This massive party hub has 14 different bar areas, constant themed nights, and plenty of booty-shaking contests to win!

JR’s has solidified its reputation as a Dallas hotspot over the years, offering an amazing 2nd story balcony patio, tasty food, and a crowd that never stops dancing.

It wouldn’t be Texas if there weren’t a little cowboy flair. Undeniably, Round-Up is Dallas’s largest country line-dancing venue, offering fun events every weekend.

Houston

This lively spot is always ready to show you a good time. Expressive drag performers, great drink specials, and a dark corner or two for dark deeds make this a local favorite. Stop by the shop on your way in or out to get some new gear!

With a crowd that doesn’t quit, this sultry club is always packed to the brim. Never without plenty of eye candy and great performers, you’ll always have a great time at South Beach.

Much like the other Eagle locations around the country, this delightful dive is welcoming to all. Leather lovers and others frequent this watering hole, coming for the nightly events and great company.
