This two-story bar and nightclub caters to gay guys and lesbians (though the soft-core porn on the video screens suggests it's mostly gay). Since 1988, BS West has been the gay bar to talk about in Old Town Scottsdale. The bar staff is incredibly friendly and the faces on stages aren't too shy either.
This cozy little gay bar is jam-packed with weekly events including free poker on Mondays, Wednesday night karaoke, Thursday underwear parties, Friday night go-go dancers, and alternating Saturday performances by queens Olivia Gardens and Maraya Jordan (with 50-cent beer refills). If you're making your way down McDowell Road, try not to miss Ice Pics Video Bar. See also: 10 Best Drag Shows in Metro Phoenix Here are our 10 favorite gay bars in metro Phoenix.
