Charlotte, North Carolina
Charlotte's longest-running gay bar, in the NoDa arts district
Chasers is one of Charlotte's longest-running gay bars, set on The Plaza at the edge of the NoDa arts district. A change of ownership brought a full renovation — an expanded dance floor, a rebuilt main bar, and updated lounge space — so the room feels current without losing the neighborhood-bar familiarity that kept it open for years. The calendar runs most of the week: drag shows, karaoke, and country nights with line-dance lessons that pull in a crowd you won't find at the dancier spots, plus recurring parties like the monthly Furnace. It draws a broad cross-section of the city's LGBTQ+ community and is busiest on weekend nights. For visitors, it's the most reliable place to land in Charlotte for a full night out rather than a single drink.
