Even when drag is off the menu, the space caters to SLC’s alternative crowd with a range of live events to suit almost everyone’s taste. Mixers is under new ownership and management since mid April of 2018.
Mixers, previously known as Thursday's, became a gay bar in 2008. Mixers has a cozy neighborhood ambiance and there are lots of fun activities such as karaoke, drag shows and other theme nights. Leave the long Mormon garments at home, this event is more Andrew Christian than Joseph Smith.Īlthough this midsize concert venue isn’t explicitly gay, Metro hosts the city’s best drag shows (it’s the number one place to find the girls of RuPaul’s Drag Race when they’re in town). Specialties: Mixers is a Gay bar that welcomes everyone, gay, straight or somewhere in between. The local crowd gets rowdy on the third Thursday of every month after checking their clothes for the Underwear Party. This laid-back bar is famous for cheap drinks, Thursday night karaoke, and Sunday BBQs on the patio between Mother’s Day and Labor Day. Expect live DJs, drag queens, go-go dancers, and a weekly party theme inviting you to dress up so you can get down in style. This straight lounge becomes a queer dance club once every week for Revolution Fridays. The city is chock-a-block with hip coffee shops, international food options, artistic offerings, and enough outdoor activities to make you feel you’re living in a Patagonia clothing ad. You’ll find queer folks congregating in neighborhoods like Sugar House, the Marmalade District of Capitol Hill, and in the Avenues near Temple Square, but there’s no true gayborhood of which to speak. In some ways, Salt Lake City is so gay it’s post-gay. Right in the center of Long Branch, you can join Karaoke Steve every Tuesday to sing your favorite hit. That’s higher than both New York City and Los Angeles. Jack's Goal Line stand is your karaoke destination at the Jersey Shore. A whopping 4.7 percent of the population identifies as LGBT. The same year Biskupski was elected, Gallup released a poll naming Salt Lake City the seventh gayest city in the United States. SLC is so queer-friendly that officials renamed a street in honor of the politician and gay rights activist Harvey Milk in 2016. She currently serves with three openly gay city council members: Amy Fowler, Derek Kitchen, and Chris Wharton. In 2015, Jackie Biskupski became the city’s first openly gay mayor. Nowhere is this change more pronounced than in Salt Lake’s flourishing LGBTQ+ community. Its quite dangerous as the queue barely moves because the cloakroom is at the end of this stairs.Photo: Austen Diamond Photography/Visit Salt Lake Trying to get out is a bit of a nightmare as everyone has to exit via the same stairs. We fly to London once a month and always go to Sound, its our "local". Mixed crowd in here, black, white, asian, mostly early 20's. If you're looking to go clubbing on a Sunday night try Sound as a lot of places aren't even open on a Sunday night. Sound opens early and is usually open till 3-ish. Drinks are pricey 2 vodka + 1 red bull £12.10, bottles are less than £4. To use the bathroom you have to walk to the fifth floor (ridiculous). Finally on the 5th floor is an RnB, hip hop room overlooking the london eye. Second floor which is on the 4th floor is a balcony floor overlooking the first floor.
First floor which is located on floor 3 is mostly a mix of dance, chart, pop, hip-hop and cheese. Staff are friendly, maybe a little too friendly!! There are 3 floors for us commoners. Queues are always inevitable but there are ways of skipping, hehe.
Sound is right in the heart of Leicester Square.
