St. Louis, Missouri
St. Louis's oldest LGBTQ+ bar, serving Tower Grove South since 1988 with drag cabaret
St. Louis's oldest continuously operating LGBTQ+ bar, serving the Tower Grove South neighborhood since 1988. The layout splits between a traditional corner bar — a regulars' room for the surrounding blocks — and a dedicated cabaret room built for live drag theater, where high-energy variety and drag shows run on weekend nights and pull a young, diverse crowd from well beyond the city. It's a genuine launchpad: St. Louis drag royalty like Dieta Pepsi have graced the Grey Fox stage for decades, and the bar has been minting local drag talent ever since. 'Gritty and glittery' is the self-description, and it fits — dive-bar charm and a worn-in corner room up front, a bamboo-lined patio that hosts live music in the warmer months out back, and nearly four decades of history holding the whole thing together.
