Nowhere Bar

(129 Ratings)
Edgy basement bar with boys, bears, and beyond

Delve a few steps below street level into this cozy neighborhood lounge. You'll find a mixed gay & lesbian crowd of all ages, a large number of hipster/punk college kids, and perhaps a go-go boy that just doesn't seem to fit in.

Tranny Night is Thursday!

I should know- I'm Miss Nowhere 2009- and proud of it! Thursday night is the time to meet the girls, play some pool, have fresh-popped popcorn and enjoy drinks from Nate. Everyone is welcome as long as you go there expecting a nice time.

Not my scene

Prices were good, but it wasn't the greatest place I've visited. I wouldn't go to the area expressly for this bar, but I'd def. stop in if I was passing by.

FUN

Go for Moustache Ride parties every month, cute guys, great music, cheap/strong drinks, zero attitude. A place with no pretense and complete silly fun.
