I have a friend coming here to visit in a couple of weeks and he is gay. I am clueless to the gay club/bar scene here in Memphis. Can anyone recommend some places for me to take him so ensure he can have a good, safe time?

Is Backstreet is still closed, it was a giant dance club off of Madison? It closed for a while at least. Metro off of Cleveland is still open I think. There was also another gay bar near there on Cleveland (Mary's?) but I'm not sure if it's open still There is a place on Madison near McNeil that is a gay bar, but I don't know the name.

Sorry, this hasn't been very helpful, has it? I'm sure a google search could come up with some definite names.

Backstreet is back open and has gained a better rep and gets better each month.

Senses (not an exclusively gay club, but Saturday is considered "gay night") is pretty huge on Saturday nights with the gay community, although I've heard it's not quite as fun this summer as last winter.

My advice is to send Johnny Ryall a private message. I'm sure he's up on it as he is a self-proclaimed knowitall.

Please, Memphis' gay population is rather small.

I would hit up Metro on Cleveland on a Thursday night or Backstreet on a Saturday.

Isn't that the place I remember reading about where some guy would enter in the early am hours(on several occasions)branishing a pistol and robbing all the patrons

Did they ever catch up with that guy

i did a google search and found a couple places (most of which were mentioned above)
if i could take him to san francisco for the weekend that would take care of it, but we will be staying in memphis and he wanted me to go to at least one with him.
is backstreet safe? when i first moved here i heard bad things about it...
