Sleek cocktail bar on South Broadway in St. Louis's Carondelet neighborhood
Gay bar in St. Louis's Carondelet neighborhood, on the stretch of South Broadway that's had gay and lesbian bars for decades. There's something on most nights — drag shows pulling some of the city's best-known queens, plus karaoke, bingo, and DJ-driven dance nights on the weekend — which makes it as much a neighborhood living room as a night-out destination. It's a welcoming, community-minded room rather than a slick megaclub, run by owners known for showing up for local causes year-round. Paired with nearby Hummel's, it anchors the far-south-side scene and gives the LGBTQ+ community a reason to head below downtown for the night.

A calm, practical answer to every question first-timers actually have about gay bathhouses — how check-in works, the unwritten rules, what things cost, and why almost everyone there came alone.

The rainbow flag has meant something specific since 1978 — one word per stripe, assigned by the man who dyed the first one. What every color means, why two stripes are gone, and all the other flags.
