The Backlot - Calgary
THE BACKLOT BAR is one of Calgary’s oldest gay owned and operated bars. It’s a very “West Hollywood” style bar. We’re not fancy but we’re full of history, acceptance, and a lot of laughs. A small two-story bar with patio in the back and fireplace in the front. Everyone is welcome – gay, lesbian, straight, any letter or combination of letters in the sexual orientation alphabet. We also have a philosophy around trying to make sure everyone in the community can come out and have fun – especially in these tough economic times. So, we always have reasonable drink prices. Dress Code: Positive attitude and an open mind.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As a young strait women, I have never felt less welcome at an establishment.
I came in with 5 friends who wanted to drink and sing karaoke, everyone was respectful of the other performers and of the bar itself.
A female server came around and asked if we’d like drinks, we were all fine for the time being.
Soon afterwords the female host told us the night was over and karaoke was finished
So we left.
To our surprise, it kept going for another 2.5 hours, when we tried to re enter we were rudely and abruptly turned away.
I will never bring my business here again.
Very disappointing that in a place which is supposed to be accepting to everyone, we were treated so poorly.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Honestly, compared to my first visit back in 2018. This place had a really good mood now and feel to it and I loved it. Prices are a bit $$ but the bartenders are cute and it's a really fun place to be with some friends.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to meet up with friends after work and on weekends. It's a piano bar~ minus the piano ~with music low enough that you can hear what others are saying without them having to yell. Staff are some of the best in Calgary. I've been going there for more than a decade now and it's still my favourite gay bar here in Calgary.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ LOVE this bar! If you want a fun place to drink and have a good time, this is the place. Cute little patio and has both an upper and lower level inside with Karaoke some nights. Jordan, the good looking bartender, is a hell of a good time. You seriously can't help but have a good time when he is working. Great place to go as a pre-drink, an after party, or stay all night :) highly recommend

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Always the best staff. It's a dive-y type bar that is super social, and has lots of theme nights (like karaoke). It's great to have a solo drink at, or bring a whole group to. Super enjoyable laid back place, with lots of politically incorrect and questionable media on the TVs.
