Besides nurturing Denver-based “RuPaul’s Drag Race” winners such as Yvie Oddly and the most recent season’s champ, Willow Pill, it’s got open mics and hip-hop nights (18 and up!) and three of the best dance floors and DJ setups in the city. Indisputably Denver’s largest and most important LGBTQ club, the current incarnation in what’s now the RiNo Art District has over the last 17 years made its name with national-quality drag performances, touring artists and raucous, themed parties. In that spirit, here’s a quick roundup for Pride month and in advance of Denver PrideFest (June 25 and 26), including legacy bars and some new(er) names, so you don’t have to do all the work yourself. Some, such as the Denver Eagle on West Colfax Avenue, even reopened after a six-year closure. We’ve also seen a lot of spots hang on during unimaginable, pandemic-related challenges. We lost promising spots such as Sir and seemingly stable venues like Pride and Swagger in recent months, so the remaining names are all the more important. Simply placing a Pride flag in one’s window does not an LGBTQ bar make, but it’s at least heartening to see the rainbows winding their way into more and more mainstream establishments.įor queer bars, Denverites often have to look a bit closer, as the city’s LGBTQ cultural scene is not always matched by the prominence or amount of our clubs.
