Gay Nightlife in Austin: Best LGBTQ+-Friendly Bars, Clubs, & More
Austin is a lot of things, but it's mostly young, progressive, musical, creative, and gay—all in the best possible way. It's residence to a slew of universities, is a magnet for starving artists, has a strong tech presence (hence the youthful populace), and is perhaps the most LGBTQ+-friendly place in Texas.
It's no secret that gays and lesbians are welcomed here more openly and enthusiastically than in most other regions of this primarily conservative state. Austin is a little liberal bubble that sits just southeast of the very center, surrounded by some , miles of cornfields and cacti. It is renowned for hosting the annual South by Southwest Festival and for its thriving music scene.
