About this place R Bar and Lounge

R Bar and Lounge sits on Laurel Street, the primary gay bar in Fort Collins. It’s a short walk from Old Town and close to the Colorado State University campus. The space is small and low-key, a come-as-you-are room where students, locals, and visitors mix over drinks. It isn’t a dance club. Regulars report a few beers on tap, but no food. Wednesday nights bring karaoke, and there’s some outdoor seating if the weather cooperates. Older reviews say it’s cash only, so bring bills in case that still holds. Given there are few other LGBTQ+ options in town, expect a decent crowd on weekends.

I have so much fun every time I come in to this bar. Seeing Heather is my favorite thing and she is amazing! Her shows and her energy are always fun! She is absolutely amazing and I enjoy my time every time I come out to see her!

The DJ/Karaoke host was incredibly rude and put a damper on the entire night and caused us to leave early because we felt uncomfortable in the space. We waited 2 hours between songs (even though some people went 4 or 5 times within that time) and followed all the normal processes for signing up, but were rudely scolded for making people wait... Got cussed out with no explanation of what was done wrong. (However, bartenders and noodles across the street were fire : ) )

Place was great and bar tenders were nice but one staff member was very rude about karaoke and messed with the vibes of the night 👎

The service was incredible. Allies through and through . This is the safest bar I've ever gone to. Not only because of the bartenders, but because of the environment they encourage
