  • TEMPORARILY CLOSED

    TEMPORARILY CLOSED: THE BACKLOT BAR is one of Calgary’s oldest gay owned and operated bars. It’s a very “West Hollywood” style bar. We’re not fancy but we’re full of history, acceptance, and a lot of laughs. A small two-story bar with patio in the back and fireplace in the front. Everyone is welcome – gay, lesbian, straight, any letter or combination of letters in the sexual orientation alphabet. We also have a philosophy around trying to make sure everyone in the community can come out and have fun – especially in these tough economic times. So, we always have reasonable drink prices. Dress Code: Positive attitude and an open mind.
