722 E. Burleigh St.
(414) 372-7880
Situated
in Riverwest, Art Bar offers an eclectic hangout for the East Side’s
LGBT crowd and their allies. Grab a $2 mystery beer and catch some of
the live music offered several nights a week or attend Open Canvas
Night, a great way to experience local art while taking back a few
drinks. Art Bar is for those who are young at heart seeking a relaxing
night out. (Jon Tingley)
Fluid
819 S. Second St.
(414) 643-5843
If
you’re looking for a relaxed, inexpensive spot to hang out, Fluid is
just the place. With solid drink specials, including 2-for-1 Mondays,
and special events like Hot Fudge Bingo, this is a hangout where
everyone feels welcome. Located just next to the booming club scene of
LaCage, Fluid is a welcome retreat for low-key guys and girls looking
for a drink after work. (J.T.)
Harbor Room
117 E. Greenfield Ave.
(414) 672-7988
The
Harbor Room is like a corner bar with gays. The “half-price drinks if
you take off your shirt” deal is what sets this dive apart. The Harbor
Room is a friendly, low-key place to grab a few drinks and hang out
with the bears. If you’re an open-minded guy looking for a relaxed
atmosphere and cheap drinks, check out the Harbor Room.

LaCage
801 S. Second St.
(414) 383-8330
A
night at LaCage is like getting three bars for the price of one. Etc.,
with its streaming videos and chill atmosphere on the first floor,
offers a relaxed scene, while LaCage’s giant dance cage on the second
floor is sure to cause a few gasps, and the recently added Montage
Lounge provides fun times on the spacious third floor. Female
impersonation shows every Friday and a wide variety of special
performances keep the entertainment fresh. (Emilee Weier)
Walker’s Pint
818 S. Second St.
(414) 643-7468
Despite
its rustic atmosphere, this is not The Uptowner for lesbians. At
Walker’s Pint, unless part of the “in crowd,” your existence is ignored
by everyone but a friendly, attentive bartender. Clientele is roughly
90% lesbian (ages 21-55) and 10% younger gay men taking a break from
LaCage or Fluid. Music from Black Eyed Peas to Journey to Johnny Cash
plays at a conversation-friendly volume. It’s a nice place to be left
alone while conversing with your girlfriend. (Nevenka Crnojevich)
