About
The city of Boston is the capital of Massachusetts and home to a thriving gay community, and has been even before Massachusetts legalized same sex marriage. Boston is a huge university and college town and is well known for being one of the most socially liberal and progressive cities in the United States. Knowing this, you can rest assured that locating Massachusetts gay bars will be very easy. Boston is well known to be a compact city, but a world class destination for gays and lesbians and offers a huge selection of gay friendly restaurants, hotels, shops, and Massachusetts gay bars.
The South End of Boston is perhaps the most gay identified area in the city, and because of this offers an almost exclusive feel to the gay traveler. You will love the quaint redbrick homes with bowfront detail and elaborate embellishments. In fact, the South End is a designers paradise! This particular area has seen extensive gentrification since the early ‘80s, and a large part of that gentrification was gay inspired. Thus Massachusetts gay bars, cafes, restaurants and gay owned businesses are dotted all through the South End on Columbus Avenue, Tremont Street, and along Shawmut and Washington.
Provincetown in Massachusetts is another city where you will find a huge selection of Massachusetts gay bars. In fact, Provincetown is almost known in Massachusetts as being exclusively gay. The prime feature in Provincetown as far as Massachusetts gay bars are concerned is the Crown and Anchor Inn, a gay owned and operated business with exclusively gay clientele. The Crown and Anchor features a total of six bars and the city’s largest nightclub, the Paramount. All of these hotspots are prime gay real estate when it comes to Massachusetts gay bars.
