Gay bars in memphis

When most people think of Memphis the first thing they think of is Graceland. We are also considered the home of Blues, there are blues venues on practically every corner especially in the downtown area. Currently, we have two gay bars out here that are full of life and the community is very warm and understanding.

The gay bars in Memphis are cozy and close-knit. Since we only have two gay bars there are other places that the queer community congregates around town. Coffee shops are all the rage in the Memphis queer community. We literally spend all day chatting it up and sipping our tea or coffee. You can either go alone and read a book in a nice little corner of the shop or you can bring a ton of your friends and enjoy the inclusive environment.

There are many gay environments that are not exactly targeted toward gay people but more so they are targeted towards human beings that want a community to interact with regardless of race, sexuality, or gender identity. Ultimately the goal for LGBTQ organizations or any organization for that matter is for everyone to feel welcomed and loved.

We are not just a community, we are a family. This bar is open every day of the week. For example, Mondays offer free memphis and a pool tournament. They even have a grilled cheese night. The Pumping Station is your home away from home and they always have something for you to do. So if you are looking for a community that is friendly and open-minded.

I recommend this bar. Everyone is full of life and ready to party if you love atmospheres that are larger than life you will feel very welcome here. You have a family down at The Pumping Station waiting for you. You can always count on being entertained here. The drag performers here are so very full of life and they treat each other like family.

There are no strangers at this bar, everyone is treated like family as soon as they walk through the door. The drag shows begin at PM and you will definately bar to stay till the end. Recently she upgraded the bars and tables.

The top of the bar is made out of a bowling alley. If you ask me that is a very unique idea! She also does a lot of charity work. This bar has helped raise money to help people regardless of their race, sexuality, or gender identity.
