Long-running gay bar in Indianapolis's Old Northside since 1980
Greg's is one of Indianapolis's longest-running gay bars, open in the Old Northside since 1980 — it started as the one-room Wawasee Tavern, reopened that July as 'Our Place,' and was renamed in 2002 to honor longtime owner Greg Powers after his death. Four decades on, it's still a cornerstone of the Indianapolis scene. The layout gives it range: a large dance floor with a laser rig, pool tables and darts, and a generous outdoor patio that does a lot of the work in summer. Weeknights lean low-key — karaoke, showtune singalongs, league games and tournaments — while weekends turn the dance floor over to pop remixes and club tracks with drag in the mix. The crowd is genuinely mixed in age, heavy on long-time regulars with a younger weekend wave. Open year-round, it's the dependable, unpretentious anchor of the neighborhood — the kind of place that's there every night, whether it's a slow Tuesday or a packed Saturday.

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.

Drag is an art form, not an identity, and what people assume about it is off. Here's what a drag queen actually is, where drag came from, what the job pays, and how the illusion gets built.
