Transgender Nightclubs in Cincinnati, Ohio

Transgender bars and clubs in Cincinnati, Ohio, offer a range of venues.

Cincinnati, Ohio ("The 'Nati"), is a city of many bars, with a small handful appealing to the gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgendered community. Many of these bars and clubs don't welcome just the transgendered, they welcome all in the LGBT community (and their friends), and host events of interest to those who are transgendered ... such as drag shows.

1 Subway

Subway is known as a laid-back dive of a disco, but it claims to have the longest-running happy hour in The 'Nati (until 9 p.m.,), featuring drag shows on Saturday nights. Open Monday through Saturday starting at 6:30 a.m. until 2:30 a.m. (including lunch), Subway is located downtown across from the Arnoff Center, and has a jukebox.

5 Old Street Saloon

As Old Street Salon is located outside the big city, it is considered intimate and "down-home" (they call themselves, "Like "Cheers ... for Queers"). A live DJ appears on Fridays and Saturdays, and entertainers (i.e., female impersonators) abound, including Sundae De La Rouge, Booshee Raybrun, Ashley West, LaToya Bacall, and Montana McDaniels. Old Street hosts an annual Miss Old Street pageant, which includes a crown and a cash prize; to enter, entertainers must have "significant drag or pageant experience."
