About this place The Tool Box

The Tool Box is a gay bar on the 500 block of North Stanton Street in downtown El Paso, part of the cluster of LGBTQ+ bars known locally as Pride Square. It is a small, casual neighbourhood bar rather than a club: cheap drinks, a regular crowd and conversation at the bar. Google reviewers rate it 4.0. Most people use it as a first or last stop around the bigger dance venues a few doors away. No current hours are listed, and times can shift on weekends and event nights, so call ahead. Parking downtown is easy late in the evening, but use a ride app home.

The male “owner” is allowed to just walk into the women’s restroom while customers who had already bought drinks were peeing he was drunk claiming it’s not a public restroom after we had already bought shouts from the bar.
