CAMP Bar and Cabaret

CAMP is a solid St. Paul nightlife pick when you want a bar that’s queer-friendly and event-driven, with a separate cabaret-style space that hosts ticketed shows, open mics, trivia, and rotating entertainment. It’s not as “exclusively gay” as the big Minneapolis staples, but locals regularly describe it as welcoming and active with queer events, making it a good option for a more mixed, downtown St. Paul night out. Go for the programming first, then stay for drinks when the room fills up.
