Best Gay Bars & Clubs
If you are looking for gay bars and clubs in Albuquerque for men to meet men you can go off that main list we just posted. We used to live in a world where things were far less inclusive, but these days most venues have become more LGBT friendly instead of strictly gay bars.
Don’t worry, local men can meet men at plenty of venues around town. However the queer scene here did take a big hit when the Albuquerque Social Club recently closed.
Best Lesbian Bars & Clubs in Albuquerque
Along those same lines we are not aware of any full on lesbian bars in Albuquerque for women to meet women. The mixed list should have plenty of options for you and if there are no cute girls around to hit on head out until you finally get lucky.
Drag Shows & Trans Bars
While these may not exactly be trans bars in Albuquerque you can find drag shows that may help you locate ts near you at:
- Drag Shows at Albuquerque Social Club
- Drag Queen Bingo
- Illusions
We really do try our best to keep these lists up to date but we cover so many cities around the world that it is very hard for us to keep up. We know the scene here pretty well, but not as well as the local experts.
If you happen to notice anything out of date on this page or if we left some place off that is a can’t miss please use the comments to let us know. Also, if you think any venues should be listed as solely places for men to meet men or women to meet women fill us in, thanks if you can help.
The main gay area in Albuquerque is Nob Hill district and you can find just about everything you need in that gayborhood. You may also be interested in reading our LGBT guide’s for:

Best LGBT Dating Sites
It used to be that local gay bars were about your only choice if you wanted to find other LGBT people near you for dating or hook ups. Luckily those days are long behind us, and now we want to tell you about some of our favorite options.
It is also fair to assume that not all of you reading this are in the same position as far as status goes and there are probably some who won’t be too keen on having their photos taken at a gay bar. It is pretty safe to guess that most of you have seen Adult Friend Finder links online before, it is the biggest hook up site on the planet and has been for almost twenty years.
Their main site for finding gay men near you to hook up with is Men Nation and you might be surprised at how many users it has in major cities like this one. The ladies will be better off on Lesbian Personals and the name tells you what that site is all about,
Bi-sexuals who like to hook up with all genders can go with Adult Friend Finder. It combines all the users on their numerous sites which are not only straight and LGBT but also include swingers and other kinky people.
So if you want m4m hook ups use Men Nation, and for f4f hook ups use Lesbian Personals. Many of you may also be a bit curious about the world’s top transgender dating site, MyTransgenderDate. Trans dating in Albuquerque is booming at the moment because more ts near you are feeling free to live that life they always knew they were supposed to.
