gay clubs

Once upon a time, gay dives and dance clubs were the only places where gay men could openly congregate and cruise. Times may have changed since then, but gay clubs are still our congregation centers where we dance, drink, organize, show off, and meet others. Some gay clubs have survived through nostalgia, like Micky's in West Hollywood. Others have survived through notoriety, like The Hoist in London and Berghain in Berlin. If you're looking for the kinky leather-and-jeans crowd, the New York Eagle is unlike any other in the country, but no city offers such techno-heavy dance clubs like Miami. Whatever your scene, Out has the lowdown on the best gay club for you, wherever you are in the world.
