San Antonio, Texas
British-style tavern on the quiet end of the Strip, with a big patio.
Sparky’s Pub plays the "quiet end" of the Main Avenue strip, inside San Antonio’s Pride Cultural Heritage District. It’s built like a British-style tavern, with conversational music levels, video DJ sets, and a large outdoor patio instead of a dance floor, which makes it the easy place to actually talk on a strip full of clubs. Daily happy hour, pint-sized pours, and gender-neutral restrooms fit the come-as-you-are crowd, and the "Sinful Sunday" beer bust, run in partnership with the Sisters of San Antonio, turns the patio into a charity fundraiser a few times a year. It works as a first or last stop on a Main Avenue crawl, or as a destination of its own for locals who want the gayborhood without the volume.
