Part of the Gay Minneapolis Guide — bars, events & things to do.

Friday, August 28, 2026
Join us for Booked, our monthly drag showcase featuring a rotating cast of talented performers taking over The Saloon's stage. Doors open early so you can grab a drink and settle in before the show kicks off, giving you the perfect excuse to experience one of Minneapolis's most historic gay bars in all its glory. Whether you're here for the performances, the energy, or to be part of a community space that's been welcoming queer folks since 1977, this is a night you won't want to miss.
