About this place The Gay 90's

The Gay 90's on Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis is a long‑running gay nightlife complex that hosts a mix of bars, a dance floor, and a drag showroom, drawing crowds mainly for its drag performances. The spot has been on this block for decades and is one of the largest gay venues in the Midwest. It opens every day from 4 pm to 2 am. Weekends are noticeably busier, and a cover charge usually applies on show and dance nights. Ratings sit at 3.3 from over 700 reviews, with guests flagging security concerns and a rougher late‑night crowd on Hennepin. If you’re after the drag, get there before the doors fill up and grab a rideshare instead of walking home late.

Security was fan freaking tastic!!! They were watching and acted accordingly when females felt uncomfortable with unwanted attention. Drinks were fantastic and the shows were amazing! THANK YOU for a fun night!
