The other night Shanghai’s No. 1 Fag Hag was sitting around with some friends trying to list all the gay/lesbian bars in town. We named 14 and at the same time came to the conclusion that Shanghai is in desperate need off a pub crawl.
The invitation is open to all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, drag queens, fag/stag hags, LGBT friendly straight residents and anyone else who wants to join. The plan is to figure out how many people want to participate and rent a bus or van to hit as many pubs below as possible. We’re aiming for the first weekend of November, after we’ve all had a chance to recover from the big Shanghaiist Halloween bash.
Here's a rundown of our possible destinations:
- Pinkhome (formerly Home and Bar) ... if it’s open by then!
- Kevin’s
- BoBo's Bear Bar
- Hunter
- Shanghai Studio
- Space
- Eddy’s Bar
- Mollier (?)
- Club Deep
- Max Club
- XXX Bar
- Shanghai Studio’s Japanese Branch
- Frangipani
- Apsara
If you want to revel in the depravity (or give us discounts at your bar), please leave a comment or email Shanghaiist at shanghaifaghag at gmail.com and we’ll add you the list!
In other brief gay news
- Here's a recent Shanghai Daily story about a "Husband that casts off his lesbian wife". Sounds like a lucky lady to us.
