One of America's last great gay strips · Vol. III

The Strip, end to end.

Eight blocks of Cedar Springs Road. One of a few real LGBTQ+ strips left in America. Walk it tonight — or plan a weekend.

Why The Strip

Eight blocks. Two sides. One of a few left.

Cedar Springs Road in Oak Lawn is one of fewer than ten LGBTQ+ “strips” still standing in America — a peer of Boystown, the Castro, West Hollywood, and South Beach. It has been a refuge, a battlefield, a Saturday-night home, and a Sunday-morning hangover for half a century. The bars below are not “venues.” They’re the proof.

The Walk

South to north. Two sides. One Saturday.

The Strip walks easy. Stops crisscross Cedar Springs Road; you’ll cross it more times than you mean to. Pick a side, pick a tab, or just take the whole thing.

More than bars

A history that still walks here.

From the Crossroads Market to the Rose Room, half a century of queer Dallas lives in these blocks. The names changed. The neon stayed.
