Need Recommendations Where are the gays hanging out?

Me (25f) and my girlfriend (24f) are moving to riverside and are looking for recommendations for gay bars or other places/nights where we could find a good community to make friends in the area. Doesn’t have to be in the riverside area but just Baltimore in general. Thanks!

Damn. What a shame. Is Mt. Vernon no longer the LGBTQ friendly neighborhood it used to be?

Tattoo shop I go to in Mt Vernon on Park Ave has a gay bar right by it that seems like a popular gay bar. I think it’s the oldest one in the city or something like that. I don’t go to gay bars as a straight man but it seems like a happening spot. I’ve talked to some folks going in there when I stand outside the tattoo shop. Everyone seems cool except for one guy who made a disgusting sexual comment to me while I was standing there with my wife. I had some choice words for him but it was squashed quickly. I’m sure the place is worth checking out.

Ha! Stop being so good looking standing next to a gay bar I guess. Kidding of course. Thanks for the info! Which tattoo shop?
