The Strip

The Strip on Main is San Antonio’s beloved LGBTQ+ Gayborhood — a vibrant stretch of North Main Avenue in Tobin Hill lined with queer-owned and queer-friendly bars, restaurants, and community venues. The Strip serves as the cultural and social heart of San Antonio’s LGBTQ+ community, hosting Pride events, community gatherings, and nightly nightlife that draws locals and visitors from across Texas and beyond.

In 2025, The Strip was officially designated a Pride Cultural Heritage District, recognizing its decades-long role as a safe, celebratory, and community-driven space for queer San Antonians. Venues along The Strip include Heat Nightclub, Sparky’s Pub, Knockout, Pegasus, Ay Que Chula, SA Country Saloon, and more — each contributing to a neighborhood that’s as much about community as it is about nightlife.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or a longtime regular, The Strip offers something for everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. Visit thestripsa.com for a full venue guide, event listings, and community resources.
