Diving in Fort Worth Gay Bars

One recent hot and sweaty Saturday night after a long daytime of imbibing beer and devouring tacos at a dwelling party, three hardened divers and I set out to find signs of a gay-bar scene in town. Only a few years ago, the Gayborhood – a smattering of places on or around Jennings Avenue on the Near Southside – looked ready to blossom but seemed to die out atop the smoldering ashes of the Rainbow Lounge after that beloved institution burned down back in

Our first stop was Bar ( S Jennings Av, ), one of the last holdovers from the scene that was. The building is a utilitarian, standalone, white, windowless rectangle –– more art installation or forgotten bunker than a place of revelry. On entry, we were greeted by a well-lit space with chessboard tiles on the floor and a pool table up front. The prolonged bar leads to the back of the room where there are a few high tables and stools strewn throughout. Guys bellied up to the bar, couples chatted, and an older mixed group sat watching the Cowboys’ preseason labors. My first impression was of a scrupulously

Where did Fort Worth gay bars go?

FORT WORTH, Texas — As employees watched flames engulf the bar they had just cleaned and closed down for the evening, few understood the glowing embers in front of them represented the complete of an era. The ash pile of the Rainbow Lounge, Fort Worth’s most iconic gay bar and an epicenter of the town’s then-burgeoning “gayborhood,” took with it painful and joyous memories of a gay scene the city hasn’t been able to copy since.

Club Reflection

It looks dark and dive-y from the outside, but inside, Club Reflection ( Jennings Ave., /, daily 2 p.m.–2 a.m.) is a friendly, cute GLBT country-and-western establishment, replete with rustic decor and aw-shucks bartenders who smile sweetly under their Stetsons. While the Rainbow Lounge across the street pumps it up with beat-heavy dance music, here the dance floor is filled with two-steppers and line-dancers sashaying to the likes of George Strait and Randy Travis. Drinks are fairly priced and often on adj, so it remains affordable to down a couple longnecks before embarking on a beginners line dance lesson (held weekly).

Dallas Eagle

As Dallas’s favorite bear club, Dallas Eagle ( Inwood Rd., /, Sun.–Thurs. 4 p.m.–2 a.m., Fri.–Sat. 4 p.m.–4 a.m.) isn’t for everyone (hint: If you don’t know what a “bear” is, you probably don’t wish to go). It’s definitely a specific scene, catering to an older crowd and
