Mud Lounge

Dancing · Cocktail Lounge · Springfield, MO

About

A friendly, laid-back spot right downtown. Mud Lounge describes itself as an urban bar and cafe, with dancing, a cocktail lounge, and a happy hour that draws a mixed gay-straight crowd.

Drinks stop promptly at 1:15 AM, and they take your glass at 1:30. Reviewers note it's a great place to start the night, especially if you're catching a theater show next door. If you want a more gay-centric scene afterward, you're a short walk from Martha's Vineyard .

“Not bad”

Nice spot, but not very gay. A few of us went on a Saturday evening. It was crowded and busy. We were the only gay people there. The menu is good, and the drinks are good too.

“Nice little place to start out.”

This is a fun spot to begin an evening. It is located downtown right near the square. Keep in mind that drinking stops promptly at 1:15 (they take your glass at 1:30 and you are kicked out) in Springfield, and no bars are open on Sundays unless there is a special event. This is not a gay bar, but it is as gay friendly as anything in Springfield is: the bar and staff are nice, but the crowd is young and not always tolerant. It is a cute place in a great area. It is right next to many downtown theaters. You will not find cruising here, but you will have a fun, relaxed time.
