A gay watering hole in an otherwise conservative state, Austin has a vibrant and rather large gay scene comparing to bigger cities.

As a result, there are plenty of gay-friendly and gay businesses that are developed throughout the city. This means that you will often see gays and straights hanging out at the same bars and dance clubs.
Most of the gay bars, clubs, and restaurants are located in Warehouse District and are within walking distance one from another. Since the University of Texas is at the heart of the city, Austin’s bars are frequented by a younger and hip crowd.
Oilcan Harry’s and Rain on the 4th are two of the most famous bars in the city and no visit to Austin should be complete without making a stop at these gay watering holes. Gay bathhouse, Midtowne Spa Austin, is also a popular destination for gay locals and travelers.
