Pride Pitstop, Anyone? π³οΈβπ
Not your average pride guide.
If your travel plans are feeling a little too... predictable this June, weβve got a more colorful detour.
These five bars, restaurants and cafes double as inclusive hangouts and aesthetic goldmines β rainbow-forward, community-first and open for business year-round.
Spark Social House, Washington, D.C.
Open βtil 4 a.m. and 0% ABV, this non-alcoholic LGBTQ bar is where you go to debrief, recharge or caffeinate post-chaos. Think: mocktails, late-night snacks and actual conversations youβll remember the next morning.
Bent Inn, Las Vegas, NV
Vegasβs only gay-owned boutique hotel brings the party poolside with 24/7 drinks, drag shows, karaoke and bar bites that hit way harder than the strip's usual suspects. Bonus: You can crash upstairs.
ByrdCage, Atlantic City, NJ
Itβs been two decades since A.C. had a queer-owned restaurant β and ByrdCage is making up for lost time. Expect comfort food, a piano lounge and outdoor karaoke under the stars. Start with brunch, end with BeyoncΓ©.
No Bar, NYC
Tucked inside the Standard, East Village, No Bar is one of the first gay bars to pop up inside a national hotel chain. Itβs your pregame destination for a night out in the East Village, complete with DJs, cocktails and a come-as-you-are crowd that actually means it.
SchΔf Shop, Atlanta, GA
A lesbian-owned skate shop and cafe? Midtown's SchΔf Shop is serving espresso, small bites and a whole lot of inclusive energy. Pull up whether youβre a pro on wheels or just here for the cold brew.
