List of LGBT bars

An LGBT bar is a drinking establishment that caters to an exclusively or predominantly lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer (LGBTQ+) clientele. Bars and nightclubs have historically served as centers of gay culture due to their role as some of the few places people with same-sex orientations and gender-variant identities could openly socialize.

While many LGBT bars have historically catered specifically to men, lesbian bars cater exclusively or predominantly to lesbian women. Some bars of both types are now considered "queer" bars, welcoming LGBTQ+ people of all genders.
