Gay bars in galveston

The gay nightlife community in Galveston can be summarized in one famous Sister Sledge lyric: We are family. Quite the contrary, in fact—visitors of all orientations galveston welcomed with open arms and sometimes the offer of a complimentary group shot. First stop is the newly opened Rumors Beach Barwhere patrons of all ages sip tropical cocktails from a shiny center drink station against a backdrop of sleek blue lighting and posters of bar girls.

The outside deck is perfect for people-watching on Seawall Boulevard. If the weather turns nasty, there are plenty of amusing diversions inside—a pool table, weekend drag and dance shows, and on Mondays, even red beans and rice cooked by the owner himself. All by your lonesome? Abandon the pleasantly mellow vibe permeating Rumors for the more raucous Third Coast Bar.

Before and after gay drag shows, DJs spin house music and pop in the cavernous space; also try hitting the club on one of their themed party nights. The interior decor is appropriately magical: Christmas lights, red-leather bar stools, American and rainbow flags hung side by side as they should be!

On weekends, the stars of the nightly comedy, dance, and music performances exchange hugs and smooches and sometimes even a fireball shot with loyal fans before retiring to the dressing room. Plus, locals enjoy hanging out at this welcoming space during the traditional 4 p. In the next few months, the Station will also be showcasing a newly refurbished patio with barbeque on offer during the holidays and available to rent for private parties.

To refuel after all that revelry and soak up some of those powerful cocktails, end the night at SkyBar open until 11 p.

Those with heartier appetites should try their seared tuna tataki or their creative Americanized sushi options such as the Galveston Sunrise or Keemah Sunrise rolls, both heavy on the avocado, mayonnaise, and fried bits. Not soon enough. Her exploits are chronicled on brideyoleary.
