Gay Tbilisi Bars and Clubs

Success Bar is the best-known gay bar in Tbilisi, located on a side street off Rustaveli Avenue. The bar has a unique, eclectic decor, featuring bright colors and 1960s influences. It's the go-to destination on a gay night out in Tbilisi.

Mozaika is an LGBTQ+-friendly bar and cafe on Vashlovani Street, close to Tbilisi's popular Vera neighborhood. It's a relaxed alternative to the city's bigger nightlife venues, attracting a mixed crowd of locals and queer tourists.

The bar has an upstairs lounge and a balcony where guests can smoke or chat. Visitors have praised its friendly staff, affordable drinks, and laid-back atmosphere, making it a good choice for a casual evening rather than an all-night clubbing session.

Mozaika also serves food, with vegetarian-friendly options reported. Its central location puts it within walking distance of Rooms Hotel and Stamba Hotel, making it convenient for LGBTQ+ travelers staying in this part of Tbilisi.

Mimosa is a gay bar in Tbilisi. You can catch a drag show here. No entry fee but you may need ID. Enjoy live performances every Saturday at this charming queer bar. Beer is no more than $2.

Bassiani is Tbilisi's internationally renowned underground techno club, located beneath Dinamo Arena in a former swimming pool. Since opening in 2014, it has helped put Georgia on the global electronic music map, drawing dedicated clubbers for marathon nights that often continue well into the following morning.

The main Bassiani dance floor is a vast concrete space devoted to powerful techno, while the more intimate Horoom has become particularly important to Tbilisi's LGBTQ+ community. Its queer-focused Horoom Nights offer a rare space for freedom of expression in a country where LGBTQ+ rights remain under pressure.

Bassiani also has a remarkable political history. In 2018, a police raid sparked mass protests outside Georgia's parliament, where thousands gathered to dance in defiance of the authorities. The club became a symbol of the country's progressive youth movement.

Entry is selective, with door checks and a screening process intended to protect the crowd. Photography is restricted inside, and visitors should check the lineup and ticket requirements on Bassiani's official website before visiting.

Junkyard is a queer-owned punk club and bar in Tbilisi. It has a very alternative vibe so expect darkwave, old-school goth, industrial, post-punk, deathrock and general morbid vibes. Regular live music events from leading bands on the alternative scene. A must-visit for queer goths and punks. You can also expect a queer-friendly vibe even if you don't fall into those categories.
