Best LGBT Bars & Clubs In Edmonton
Let’s start this off with a list of the best mixed LGBT bars and nightclubs in Edmonton:
If you are looking for gay bars and clubs in Edmonton for men to meet men all of the above will offer what you need. We used to live in a world where things were more segregated, but these days most venues have become more LGBT friendly than being strictly local gay bars. They are also more mixed when it comes to queer and straight which is certainly a good thing.
Best Lesbian Bars & Clubs in Edmonton
At this time we don’t know of any solely lesbian bars or clubs in Edmonton. If you do please mention them in the comments at the bottom of the page.
Drag Shows & Trans Bars
We aren’t really to the point of having full on trans bars in Edmonton, but you can find drag shows that may help you locate ts near you at:
You can enjoy the wonderful Search for Alberta’s Next Drag Superstar at Evolution Wonderlounge as well as other ts centric events, and Spotlight Cabaret has terrific drag shows.
Look, trying to differentiate between a strictly gay bar or a mixed LGBT bar in your area can be pretty difficult. We did our best to try and differentiate between the two, but we aren’t going to claim we did a perfect job.
If we listed any venues that are now closed, if any new hot spots have opened up, or if we got anything at all wrong then please tell us in the comments below so that our lists can be as correct and up to date as possible.

As many of us become more introverted going out to party at a local LGBT bar or club may not be our preferred way to meet new people. Fortunately technology has opened up some new doors for us and now we have more options at are disposal.
Additionally, not everyone is fully ‘out’ yet and may not feel comfortable in that type of setting just yet. Whatever your reasons or motivations are LGBT dating sites are a great way to meet people near you without having to get all dressed up and head to a queer bar.
We have a few options to tell you about, and the first ones are mostly geared towards casual sex, not full on serious dating. Men Nation is a great gay dating site for hook ups, and if you want to hook up with gay men in Edmonton you should look into it.
Lesbian Personals is a really good lesbian hook up site, and they are both run by Adult Friend Finder. You have probably seen their ads online before, they can mostly be found on porn, sex, or other adult sites.
Anyone that is looking for other gay men near you to hook up with can use Men Nation to get the job done quickly. Those who want to meet lesbian women would be best off using Lesbian Personals, and those who are bi-sexual and like all types can check out Adult Friend Finder which covers just about everybody. Serious relationships aren’t for everyone and these sites are a great way to hook up for those that don’t enjoy partying in the LGBT bars, clubs, and nightlife.
We also want to mention the world’s top transgender dating site, MyTransgenderDate. Trans dating in Edmonton is more popular than ever before and will only continue to grow as more ts feel confident enough to be the person they really want to be.
At this point we have covered the Edmonton LGBT nightlife in full. You know all about the best mixed, gay, or lesbian bars and clubs in your area plus drag shows to party with trans and all sorts of LGBT dating sites. Now choose the best option for you and enjoy yourself.
