ICONS

ICONS calls itself "that gay bar with the singing bartenders": a downtown piano and show bar at 16 E Kiowa St, owned by Josh Franklin and John Wolfe. It opened in 2020 on Bijou Street, lost that building to a fire in December 2023, and reopened on Kiowa in November 2024. The weekly schedule on its site: trivia on Tuesday, a Wednesday concert series, drag on the first Friday of the month (cash cover), a DJ from 10pm on Saturday, and drag bingo at 1pm plus karaoke at 7pm on Sunday. It's closed on Mondays. Google rates it 4.7 from about 320 reviews. Check icons-co.com/events before you go, because special shows change the hours.
