In the past many gay bars were only full of St Louis men looking for men to hook up with. These days the lines have become a lot more blurred and most venues are more mixed style, and some are mixed gay and straight.
Don’t worry, there will be plenty of men looking to hook up at the mixed venues we just listed. We do want to mention that anyone who wants to get extra freaky may want to read this local swingers guide that not only has tips for this city but also other places around the state.
There are even some LGBT group meet ups that sound like quite a bit of fun for the adventurous out there.

Best LGBT Dating Sites
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.
Plus not everyone is fully ‘out’ at the moment and may not necessarily want to be spotted and get posted about on social media. LGBT dating sites are a great way to meet people without having to get all dressed up and head to a gay or lesbian bar to do so.
The first sites we want to mention are mainly geared towards casual sex, they aren’t exactly dating sites. As the divorce rates keep going up and up many people are realizing that the single life might actually be better.
Men Nation is a really good gay dating site for hook ups, and if you want to hook up with gay guys in St Louis you should definitely check it out. Lesbian Personals is a really cool lesbian hook up site, and they are both run by Adult Friend Finder. You have probably seen AFF ads around the web over the fifteen plus years they have been in business.
Those who want to find other gay men near you to hook up with can use Men Nation to get the job done quickly. Women who want to meet lesbian women would be best off using Lesbian Personals, and those who are bi-sexual and like all varieties can check out Adult Friend Finder which covers all users across their massive network.
Long-term relationships aren’t for everyone and these sites are a great way to hook up for those that don’t enjoy partying at the LGBT bars in STL. We also should tell you about the world’s top transgender dating site, MyTransgenderDate. As more and more ts near you are finally comfortable living the life they want to live trans dating in St Louis is really taking off.
Alright then, we have told you all about the LGBT nightlife in your area as best as we can. You know where to go to find mixed, gay, or lesbian bars and clubs in St Louis plus drag shows to party with trans and all sorts of LGBT dating sites. We hope you make the most of the info at hand.
I loved visiting your clubs in St. Louis. My boyfriend and I enjoy being able to be with people like us.
