The Red Lantern is a popular gay bar in Fresno. It's open seven days a week until late. There's a stage and a sizeable dance floor. You can try your hand at karaoke. You can also smoke on the patio. Running since 1976, this venue is usually busy with drag queens, bears, and everything in between. Visit The Red Lantern on the first and third Fridays of the month for their 'Meatball Magic' theme, where you can enjoy 80s, indie, and pop music. Worth checking out if you're on a gay night out in Fresno.
