Champaign il gay bars

1. The Bistro (19 reviews) $Closed until Wednesday “IIRC, I think this is the only gay bar in the whole Bloomington-Normal area.” more Gay Bars Dive Bars.

Champaign-Urbana has a pretty large LGBT community, especially considering the size of this place. We have one large gay dance club called Chester Street Bar, but you will find LGBT people all over the various bars and clubs in downtown Champaign and Urbana.

For the first time since , Champaign welcomed Anthem, a new LGBTQ+ bar, to the city’s variety of nightlife opportunities in November. The permanent closure of Champaign’s one and only queer nightclub in , Chester Street Bar, took away a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community.

Tonight, Downtown Champaign’s Anthem opens in the former Soma space. The new bar’s owner says, “Anthem is an inclusive, high-end cocktail lounge.” Grand opening events for the LGBTQ+ friendly space are planned for both nights this weekend: Friday, November 10th and Saturday, November 11th.
