Denver Colorado's Top Gay Neighborhoods
Denver, Colorado has a quite a few amazing neighborhoods ~ I’d have to say the entire metropolis is surprisingly gay warm. Most of neighborhoods we’ll mention have nice amenities and welcoming outdoor areas, with plenty of shopping and restaurants to stuff a day of leisure.
The Cheesman Park area is Denver’s premier gay neighborhood. There are single family homes as well as high-rise and mid-rise condo living. Cheesman Park is 80 acres and applications lots of sunshine and the most amazing town and mountain views, with the gayest coffee shops just steps away! The Highlands is another pleasant gay friendly neighborhood, just west of downtown, the area has lots of great shopping and eating opportunities. Brick bungalows nestle within the businesses to create a very diverse beautiful neighborhood with 350 acres Sloan’s Lake Park just minutes away.
Looking for “New Construction” in a home? Check our Stapleton (Gaypleton) for a more hip urban feel, or Lowry for a more quite serene scene ~ both minutes to the city center and the fabulous Cherry Creek Shopping District.

Although any bar in Denver are accepting, there’s something special about visiting a local LGBTQ+ bar or club and diving into The Mile High City’s queer community. They are the spots where you know you’ll be surrounded by like-minded, fun and eccentric people. And luckily for us, there are plenty of LGBTQ+ nightlife options to choose from, no matter your taste.
Dancing Queens (and Kings) - Dance Bars and Clubs
For those who want to bust out their dancing shoes and cut a rug to remixes of today’s top hits, you’ll want to hit one of the top gyrate bars in the city—X Bar, Tracks, Blush & Blu, or Charlie’s.

“X Bar is well known for the pink flamingos during identity festival, and they are everywhere,” explained Cindy Alix, general manager at X Lock. “We also give them away and have the biggest pink flamingo around on our float. We have a very distinct float this year, so we are looking forward to the
Capitol Hill – Denver’s Queer Ghetto
When most people reflect about gay neighborhoods, many think of sunny California or busy New York City. Few people would name Colorado as a gay-friendly state, but Denver actually has a very active LGBTQ community. The Mile High City is home to a excellent gay neighborhood called Capitol Hill. This part of the city is not only the focal show of Denver’s LGBTQ group, but is also a major epicenter for artists and musicians, especially those in the alternative punk genre.
Defining the Neighborhood
Capitol Hill is almost a matchless square. To the north is Colfax Avenue/Highway 70. Its southern border is Seventh Avenue, while the east and west sides of the neighborhood are defined by Downing Avenue and Broadway respectively. Some people define Capitol Hill to also include the neighboring Cheesman Park, but the city officially defines that area as its own neighborhood. There’s also a North Capitol Hill that sits above Colfax Avenue, but it’s more often called Uptown.
It’s Got Everything from Sun Grow to Sun Set
