						<description><![CDATA[A longtime favorite of the Phoenix gay scene, Apollo&#8217;s is the kind of bar where you can have a few beers and hang with a diverse selection of drinkers. From jockish preps and fabulous drag queens to big cuddly bears and roughneck biker types, they all gather here for the camaraderie and cute bartenders. If [&#8230;]]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[Far from the leather bars, rainbow-flagged saunas and diva-filled discotheques found elsewhere, Bar 1 is casual gay nightlife that still knows how to have fun. Established in 2008, its easygoing, candlelit atmosphere allows patrons to talk in their (gasp!) indoor voices whether relaxing in the lounge seating, playing pinball or unwinding on the outdoor patio.

						<description><![CDATA[This lesbian-leaning Melrose District spot has cold beers, well-mixed cocktails, dancing, drag shows and good people. Boycott also maintains a varied and thoughtful event calendar: Patrons can expect everything from Pride-related events to Latin and country dance nights. It’s a solid stop while bar-hopping along the Melrose curve – and a sturdy local watering hole as well. [&#8230;]]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[BS West is a rarity among Scottsdale bars. It&#8217;s the only LGBT spot in the city, a distinction it&#8217;s enjoyed for over 30 years. In that time, the two-story bar, dance joint, and drag club just off Craftsman Court has established a loyal following that&#8217;s spanned generations. (Historically, its been more of a gay male [&#8230;]]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[Charlie’s is a slice of Phoenix gay bar history that has huddled along Camelback Road just west of Seventh Avenue since its debut in 1984. In those days, the “lil bitty ol’ pissant country place” and dance hall opened by John King (co-founder of the International Gay Rodeo Association) was aimed at gay urban cowboys [&#8230;]]]></description>

A lively variety of neon lights and multicolored decorations mix with a vibrant vibe and diverse clientele that visit Zarape on a nightly basis. Its female illusionist revues blend sass, style, music, and comedy into playful drag spectaculars featuring [&#8230;]]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[Cruisin&#8217; 7th Show Bar &#38; Lounge dates back to 1977. Back then, it was located just north of Roosevelt Street and Central Avenue and was (appropriately) called Cruisin&#8217; Central. The bar changed its name upon its 2003 move to its current location, where its calling card is splashed across the standalone building: &#8220;The Best Drag [&#8230;]]]></description>
