Part of the Gay Atlanta Guide — bars, events & things to do.

Atlanta, Georgia
Historic Black gay lounge and after-hours club on the Westside.
Marquette is a Black gay lounge and after-hours club on Atlanta's Westside, near Vine City off Joseph E. Boone Boulevard. The Marquette Social Club traces back to 1972, and the spot has long been a gathering place for the city's Black LGBTQ+ nightlife. The vibe is late-night and music-driven, with multiple rooms, a hookah lounge, and a kitchen known for its wings. Programming runs to themed nights — including shows featuring trans performers — and the crowd peaks well after midnight on weekends, when many of the city's other bars are winding down. Family-operated and unpretentious, Marquette draws a predominantly Black queer crowd and regulars who come for the after-hours energy rather than a polished cocktail-bar experience. Cover and door policies vary by night, so check the venue's social channels before heading out.

We verified 32 LGBTQ+ campgrounds in the US, from 700-acre men's retreats in the Ozarks to a women-only resort in Michigan's Thumb. This guide covers every one we could verify from the campground's own website: who's welcome, what clothing optional means there, what you can sleep in, what it costs and when the season runs.

Atlanta Leather Pride owns the Eagle, Felix's celebrates 25 years, and Joining Hearts kicks off — plus our SF Dore Alley guide.

October is Pride's last big wave and gay Halloween's first — Atlanta Pride, Fantasy Fest, Women's Week, and costume parties from WeHo to New Orleans. The best gay events in October.
