Hey fabulous folks and sparkling unicorns!
A geeky paradise where you can shoot virtual zombies and chase it with tequila shots. Save room on your camera roll for the city’s museums dedicated to natural science, the New South, and African American culture. Here’s how it works. Check Chasers’ calendar for regular events, such as drag shows, game nights, theme parties and more.
Hattie’s Tap and Tavern
Neighborhood: Plaza Midwood
Hattie’s Tap and Tavern is another great pick for a lowkey night out.
Saturday nights on the dance floor are some of the best on the scene.
Chasers
Neighborhood: NoDa
For over 30 years, Chasers has served as a welcoming space for everyone to enjoy a night of high-energy dancing and daily drink specials. While there may not be many Charlotte gay bars, there are many venues, clubs, restaurants, and events that are LGBTQ+ friendly!
Charlotte’s array of centers for performing arts show off Queen City’s regal culture.

Tucked away on the fringes of Charlotte’s artsy-fartsy NoDa area (NoDa as in North Davidson, not Nada as in "Nada chance I'm going dancing tonight"), Starlight serves laid-back vibes with a side of inclusivity. New LGBTQ watering holes are popping up like hot Instagram filters.
But let's not forget, the city’s got more to offer than just typical Charlotte gay bars.
Against the glow of neon lights, go-go dancers join you on the dance floor for an electric experience. The back patio is where the real party is, featuring a leather shop where Dirty South Leather crafts custom harnesses and other sexy gear. These are apps where you can meet great singles who want something long-term as well as those just looking to keep it casual:

Bar Argon's Glow Is The Only Element You Need Tonight.
Alright, let's talk Bar Argon—nestled in LoSo, which is NOT short for "Lost Somewhere" but rather the hipster-tastic Lower South End.
This place is like the Swiss Army knife of Charlotte gay bars. Triple-check, honey!
Starlight On 22nd Outshines The Rest, And That's No Shade.
Alright, cool cats and chill kittens, let's dial it down a notch. It’s local, it’s on draft, and it's as varied as your dating history. Once you enter The Woodshed, you’ll be treated to friendly faces on both sides of the bar, cheap drinks, low lights and Dolly on the jukebox.
It's leather-tastic!
