About this place Mexxx Gay Bar

Mexxx is Salzburg's main gay bar and the anchor of the city's small but lively LGBTQ+ nightlife. Located on Schallmooser Hauptstraße just east of the old town, it pairs a relaxed front bar with a dance floor that fills up on weekends, when DJs and themed nights draw a mixed crowd of locals and visitors. Opening in the evening and running late on Fridays and Saturdays, Mexxx is the reliable meeting point for gay and queer Salzburgers and the first stop most travellers are pointed to. The welcome is friendly and unpretentious, and the bar hosts drag shows and community events through the year. It is the clearest example of a dedicated gay venue in an otherwise cafe-and-culture city.

I simply asked if they had hot water. A "no" would have sufficed.

What sucks is that this would've been a five star review until yesterday. I went here with a group (of mostly girls) yesterday and a weird guy was bothering us outside. Kinda uncomfortable but hey, he was outside so not the bars fault. However, a little while later that guy came up to my table and touched me inappropriately. I was immediately aggressive towards him and then asked the person in my group most familiar with the bartender to get him removed, as I was too drunk and scared to do so myself. However, while I don't know what he told the bartender, I know that the guy who touched me was still there 10 minutes later when I left, and the next morning I found out that he was ultimately never kicked out. To hear that the bartenders didn't do anything to protect people in what's supposed to be a safe queer space is unacceptable. As a queer person, I absolutely did not feel safe yesterday, knowing that this weird guy could touch me (and probably others) and get away with it scot free. And it doesn't even matter than I'm a girl - Last week, I'd also heard that someone else I knew (a guy) was touched inappropriately by someone at this bar as well, so it seems like this place is unsafe regardless of gender. Needless to say I will not be going back. Which is a pity because I actually liked the bar - the atmosphere and drinks were pretty cool. But I refuse to support a business that doesn't care about creeps making their patrons uncomfortable. Edit in reply to the owner: I had two drinks and was in a group of many people. To deflect and say "it isn't our responsibility it's your fault for being too drunk" lines up with several of the other reviews saying the bartender is a bit of a prick! Of course it isn't your fault if the police didn't come, but we have literal video proof of this dude touching another girl in our groups hair. Verpiss dich🥰

THIS IS NOT A SAFE SPACE FOR THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY I would give zero stars if I could. The last time I was there, one of their customers brutally assaulted me right in front of the owner/bartender. My friend asked him for help and to call the police while I was being held on the ground and strangled, and he did absolutely nothing. That night, I could have died. THIS IS NOT A SAFE SPACE FOR THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY I would give zero stars if that were possible. The last time I was there, I was brutally attacked by one of their customers—right in front of the owner/bartender. My friend asked him for help while this person held me on the ground and choked me, and yet he did absolutely nothing. That night, I could have died.

As always, a very cozy place to go and have a drink with friends. The staff is always nice.
