About the venue
Bubby & Sissy's has been Alton's LGBTQ+ bar since 2001, on Belle Street at the top of downtown and about half an hour's drive from St. Louis. In 2025 a group of longtime regulars took it over and renovated it, and the bar now bills itself as LGBTQIA+ owned…
“As someone who frequented B&S very often in my younger years, I was highly impressed when I visited today and truly got to check out all the improvements that the new management has made. It's still the Bubby's you may have loved in the past like me, but she has a new wig and is snatched for the community for years to come! Great events happening often” — Harleen Quinzel, Google
“Friendly bar popular for drag shows, karaoke, live music, dancing and other events. Recently renovated. Pool tables, slots, and a large back patio also provide extra places to enjoy the bar. Service can be a little slow when the bar is hopping.” — Phillip E, Google
