THE BACKLOT BAR is one of Calgary’s oldest gay owned and operated bars. It’s a very “West Hollywood” style bar. We’re not fancy but we’re full of history, acceptance, and a lot of laughs. A small two-story bar with patio in the back and fireplace in the front. Everyone is welcome – gay, lesbian, straight, any letter or combination of letters in the sexual orientation alphabet. We also have a philosophy around trying to make sure everyone in the community can come out and have fun – especially in these tough economic times. So, we always have reasonable drink prices. Dress Code: Positive attitude and an open mind.

 

DRINKS: $6.50 BEER (Domestic) & HIGHBALLS! | HAPPY HOUR: $5.50 BEER (Domestic) & HIGHBALLS FROM 3pm - 9pm ... PLUS, DAILY SPECIALS SUNDAY - THURSDAY!!

about us

Backlot Bar

Mark Campbell

THE BACKLOT BAR has been LGBTQ2S bar in existence since 1996. That’s when Ken Schultz, a co-founder and owner, as well as a great friend decided to sell the Backlot. Knowing the bar was in good hands, he was able to move on to other business ventures. Mark has worked hard to carry on the legacy of community support, inclusiveness and a warm environment with plenty of laughs, that “Schultzy” so dearly cultivated in this unique space.
