Best LGBTQ and Gay Bars in Houston, Texas | Eater Houston

"Tucked away off of 25th Street is Galveston’s best-kept secret. Islanders flock to this bar for the unassuming atmosphere, fabulous drag shows, and ice-cold drinks. The tropical-themed courtyard patio also has a pool for patrons to enjoy, but what might be most remarkable is the history of Robert’s Lafitte. Founded in 1965, Robert Mainor owned the spot from 1970 until he died in 2022, making it the oldest LGBTQ bar in Texas." - Lane Gillespie
