Phoenix Bar

Phoenix is the premier destination for the local bear, pup, and leather communities. Home to the New Orleans Eagle nights, huge parties during Southern Decadence, and events throughout the week. There's never a cover charge so you're free to visit for a pint with some very masculine men whenever you like. Regular events include pet friendly Mondays, jock days, and gameshow nights, and there's even a leather and underwear shop on site.

This is a place where boys dance nightly on the bar, but it's also a classic neighbourhood bar with a down-to-earth attitude. The bar has an 80s and 90s vibe so you can get lost in nostalgia, especially at daily happy hour with great value vodka cocktails and your other favourite drinks. Crowds gather every night to enjoy the views of the dancers, and every Friday is New Meat Night where new and attractive guys dance for a jackpot.
