Metro Music Bar

About this place Metro Music Bar

Metro Music Bar occupies a basement space near Sukhbaatar Square — the low, intimate format that suits the Ulaanbaatar winter, when outdoor socialising is impossible for much of the year. The bar has a long-standing LGBTQ+-welcoming reputation within Ulaanbaatar's small community: it appears consistently on Grindr venue recommendations and is cited by LGBT Centre Mongolia as one of the more comfortable commercial venues for community members. The music programme drives the venue's identity: live bands perform several nights per week, with a programme that moves between Mongolian indie rock, folk fusion, and international covers. DJs take over on weekends for the late-night dancing crowd. The audience is predominantly young Mongolian and expat — students, young professionals, international volunteers — generating an atmosphere that is notably more progressive than the national social baseline. The cover charge is modest; drinks are affordable. A good option for visitors who want to experience Ulaanbaatar's emerging urban youth culture in a context comfortable for LGBTQ+ guests.
