It is a longtime fixture on Broadway and a proud component of the gay history in Chicago.ĭuring the 70s when The Closet Bar was launched, gay bars were where members of the LGBT community went to meet similar people, feel like themselves, find lovers and make friends. The small gay bar located in Boystown has been serving locals and non-locals since 1978. Although The Closet Bar attracts a predominantly lesbian and gay crowd, everyone is welcome. Gay men and lesbians mingle delightfully at The Closet over a game of darts, and the bar hosts a king show and a monthly drag queen spectrum. The Closet Bar in Chicago is an unpretentious video bar staple that has been around since long before video bars became popular. If you fancy watching a game at a gay sports bar, watching drag queens lip-syncing your favorite songs, indulging in a karaoke adventure with the sisters, getting woofy with the bears, getting your leather on, or dancing among a sea of twinks, Chicago’s got you covered. Make your way to the Windy City for some Chicago-style hot dogs, Chicago-style pizza, and Chicago-style gay bars! Boystown in West Lakeview continues to be a thriving gayborhood characterized by LGBTQ residents, businesses, and nightlife.
