    Indianapolis gay bars: 7 spaces made for the LGBTQ+ community

    Indianapolis businesses that cater directly to the LGBTQ+ community provide performance opportunities for artists, such as drag performers and DJs, good sustenance and drinks, and safe spaces to gather.

    Gay bars and restaurants are important because, in establishments made without homosexual people in soul, they may touch out of place or even be harassed, said James Alexander, assistant general manager at Almost Famous and a manager at Tini. Gay bars offer LGBTQ+ society members a place to go in which they can be comfortable and treated as humans, they said.

    It’s significant that these spaces remain open, as a business and to the common, so people in and outside of the LGBTQ+ community can enjoy the bars and experience gender non-conforming culture, said Alexander, stage name Duchess Morningstar.

    “There are people that haven’t approach out yet or don’t know anything about that and they can just walk off of the street,” they said.  

    These are establishments in Indianapolis which cater directly to the Queer community:

    Located at 231 E. 16th Road, Gregs is one of the most popular gay bars in Indianapolis and is a frequent stage for drag performances. Indianapolis has had roughly fifty queer bars in the last several decades, according to new facts gathered by Indiana Landmarks. It is difficult to identify same-sex attracted bars because many of them have kept very low profiles, sometimes with shuttered windows and limited publicity, because of anti-LGBT+ policies and public opinion. Some remain concealed to this time, despite changing attitudes. While Gregs does not draw attention to itself as a public room, it has a very general profile and presence in the city today.

    The Beginning of Gregs

    Gregs first opened on July 1, 1980, as the Wawasee Tavern. In 1992, Phil Denton purchased the bar and changed the name to Our Place. Denton transformed the space, which hosted several Leather and Bear Clubs, subcultures within the LGBT+ community known for their hyper-masculine image. The bar also hosted the T.G.I.F. Bowling Classic, the Circle City/Indy Cup Volleyball Tournament, the Halloween Bag Ladies bus tour and coronation, and other LGBT+ events.  

    Operating for more than 34 years, the Indianapolis Bag Ladies
