2 Gay Bars in Eureka Springs, AR — LGBTQ+ Nightlife

Open from noon to 2am Thursday through Saturday and noon to midnight Sunday, this dance bar and beer garden offers a full night out. Eureka Live boasts the largest dance floor in downtown Eureka Springs, plus a shadow dancing screen for entertainment when you want a break. A full bar and outdoor seating round out the space, which draws a 30s to 50s crowd that's mixed gay and straight. Wear one of the club's outrageous hats and meet people from all walks of life. The bloody mary bar with around 30 items runs from 11am to 4pm daily, making this a good spot for a late lunch or early start to your night. Hula hoops and a limbo bar add playful touches. Reserve for weddings, birthday parties, or corporate events.

Think a bar can't also serve solid pizza and host live bands? Chelsea's Corner Cafe & Bar does both, with a divey vibe that keeps the crowd mixed gay and straight. Upstairs seating lets you look down at the stage, though the dance floor runs small when the room fills up. Open daily from noon to 2am, it's a reliable stop for a happy hour drink or a late-night slice. Regulars recommend coming for Diversity Band weekends if you want a lively crowd.
