Lively gay scene in Stuttgart
The "Schwabenländle" is a bit staid and dusty? Not at all! The capital of Baden-Württemberg proves this with its diverse gay scene. By the way, the gay scene in Stuttgart has its origins in the Leonhardsviertel, one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. Even today, this area on the southeastern edge of the city center is popular and known as a popular nightlife district for the gay scene and all other night owls. Many bars and restaurants have settled here and invite you to turn night into day.
For a long time now, however, the gay nightlife has no longer been concentrated only in the Leonhardsviertel. Gayfriendy venues are spread throughout the entire city center. The scene in Stuttgart does not have to hide, but is quite naturally in the middle of the action. The first Christopher Street Day took place in Stuttgart in 1979. To this day, the LQBTQ+ scene comes together here every year to celebrate together, but also to commemorate and demonstrate for queer rights.

When it comes to gay bars, MONROE'S Gay bar is a must. It is located in the middle of the city and inspires with varied events such as karaoke evenings - here you will quickly get into the mood with good music and meet like-minded people. In Leonhardstraße in the gay-friendly Leonhardsviertel, the Goldene Heinrich awaits you. This is actually one of the oldest gay bars in all of Germany. With an outstanding cocktail concept, the Schwarz Weiß Bar is also always worth a visit, although it is not exclusively aimed at the queer scene. This is just a small selection of the total of around a dozen bars and clubs that are particularly gay-friendly or are aimed primarily at gay guests.
