In real life, the average gay bar is simply a pub where most of the regular patrons are of [[Queer As Tropes|gay male, lesbian, bisexual]], and/or [[Transsexualism|transgendered]] persuasion. That's really all there is to it. Mostly they are just places where GLBT people socialize, dance, have a few beers, play pool, etc. Sometimes people chat up/pick up a new partner in these places just as straight people do in straight bars and pubs.
Line 15:
 
Depending on the reaction of the characters, this is a [[Sub-Trope]] of either [[Coolest Club Ever]] or [[Bad Guy Bar]]. Contrast [[Bikini Bar]], which if anything is ''[[Double Standard|tamer]]'' than the [[Real Life]] places it portrays. Often used to set up [[Queer People Are Funny|jokes at the patrons' expense]]. Often, this sort of bar will be used for a [[Gay Bar Reveal]]; in this case, it's going to have to be for a parody of the trope because it is near impossible to mistake this sort of club for what it is.
