Queens Bar Stuttgart

Queens Bar Stuttgart sits on Eberhardstrasse in the city centre and pitches itself at the younger, more pop-culture-oriented end of Stuttgart's gay scene. The programming leans heavily on drag shows and karaoke nights that attract a crowd who might not identify primarily with the leather or techno subcultures but who want a visibly queer night out with theatrical entertainment. The drag shows are a regular fixture: Stuttgart has developed a small but committed pool of local drag artists who use Queens as their primary stage, and the shows have developed a reputation for being genuinely entertaining rather than perfunctory. Karaoke nights draw a mixed crowd of gay men, lesbians, and queer friends who are there for the fun rather than the subculture. The bar layout allows for good visibility of the performance area while maintaining a reasonable number of seats. Pre-club drinks from 9pm; the drag show typically runs from 11pm. Worth booking ahead for drag show nights as they sell out.
