Gulfport, Florida
Queer-owned BYOB membership social club in Gulfport.
Alphabet Soup is a queer-owned private social club in Gulfport that runs on a BYOB model rather than a liquor license: you bring your own bottle, and the club supplies the ice, mixers, and glassware. Opened in 2023 by owner Metria Jones, it's members-only, so joining means an annual membership and signing a conduct agreement to keep the room a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community and its supporters. The result is less a bar than a community living room, and the calendar reflects it, with karaoke, drag shows, live music, themed dance parties, potlucks, and games across the week, and Sunday afternoons given over to T-dances and bingo. It's volunteer-run and community-funded, so the feel leans warm and familiar rather than commercial. For Gulfport and St. Petersburg locals it's a non-commercial alternative to the bar scene; for visitors, it's worth checking the schedule ahead, since it's a membership space rather than a walk-in.
