Our Inisder Gay Downtown Los Angeles Guide!
Evolving from its humble beginning as a tiny adobe settlement in 1781, Downtown Los Angeles has become a highly desirable global metropolis. Downtown LA has become a new “gayborhood” with stylish bars and great dining options, plus some great entertainment options.
It is hot on the dance floor at Precinct in DTLA.
Classic restaurant , Redline transforms into a cool club by 10 pm.
While divey Mexican gay bar the New Jalisco has been around for years, several new gay establishments have opened their doors over the past few years. Redline is named not only for the Metro line that runs through downtown but also for the Red Car, the original light rail in L.A. Redline doubles as both a low-key bar/restaurant and crowded nightclub. By 10 p.m., the tables are cleared and the music turned up.
As the largest gay establishment downtown, Precinct can get crowded, sometimes with a line around the corner. The influx of customers could be due to its popular themed nights and performers. Every Friday, the Boulet Brothers host Queen Kong, a drag night that features some of the most popular talent around. Themes rotate on Saturday nights and include bear and Latin nights.
New Jalisco, only four blocks from Precinct is definitely a dive bar in every sense of the term, and is cash only. The drinks were pretty strong and perfect for our nightcap. While the New Jalisco may not be as fancy as the newer gay establishments, you can feel the history pulsing throughout the building.
