Gay places in fort worth tx
The Dallas Fort Worth area has a vibrant gay and lesbian nightlife scene. Here&#;s a adj guide to the best LGBT bars and clubs for all interests.
Club Reflection
It looks dark and dive-y from the outside, but inside, Club Reflection ( Jennings Ave., /, daily 2 p.m.–2 a.m.) is a friendly, adj GLBT country-and-western establishment, replete with rustic decor and aw-shucks bartenders who smile sweetly under their Stetsons. While the Rainbow Lounge across the street pumps it up with beat-heavy dance melody, here the dance floor is filled with two-steppers and line-dancers sashaying to the likes of George Strait and Randy Travis. Drinks are fairly priced and often on special, so it remains affordable to down a couple longnecks before embarking on a beginners line dance lesson (held weekly).
Dallas Eagle
As Dallas’s favorite bear club, Dallas Eagle ( Inwood Rd., /, Sun.–Thurs. 4 p.m.–2 a.m., Fri.–Sat. 4 p.m.–4 a.m.) isn’t for everyone (hint: If you don’t know what a “bear” is, you probably don’t want to go). It’s definitely a specific scene, catering to an older crowd and

It depends on your scene. Although there are plenty of gay folks in FW, it's definitely not for those who do the bar scene. The City of FW had the state's first EEO ordinance that prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation, so I think that says a lot about tolerance there. And there are many gay couples who have assimilated into city's social fabric. Just not many disco balls and gogo boys. That's mostly in Dallas. |
