    Oakland Gay Bars, Clubs and Hotels

    Oakland is a city in California with a small gay scene. It's distinguished by its proximity to San Francisco and no doubt overshadowed by it

    That being said, Oakland has its charms. It's a fairly big city and there's plenty to see. You can even come on a day trip from San Francisco. Oakland is greener and sunnier than San Francisco.

    The tech boom of Silicon Valley has spilled over into Oakland. The city is somewhat divided between the elites of the tech world and a poorer, grittier side - as many American cities do.

      Considered to be the longest-running gay bar in America, the White Horse Inn is an iconic institution in Oakland. White Horse Inn is wildly popular because it has been a safe space for the gay community since 1933. It was a speakeasy in the Prohibition era. There are drag kings that perform every 1st and 3rd Wednesday. On the remaining Wednesdays of the month, there are exciting drag queen performances. This is the gay bar you can't miss in Oakland.
