Texas may have the reputation of a conservative Southern state, but when it comes to the city of Houston, it has a very open and active gay community. The result is a wide selection of night clubs in Houston that cater to gay men and lesbians. Many of these clubs are on the upscale side and feature attractive male and female strippers.
A popular night club for lesbians, Chances is an establishment with four different bar areas called Chances, the Chi Chi Martini Bar, the G Spot and The New Barn. The entertainment in each one varies in a club that is open from 2 p.m. to closing seven days a week. Female go-go dancers are a big feature at a club that has live musical entertainment, a large dance floor and various styles of music, including hip-hop, country music and Texas two-stepping. A mechanical bull competition is also held at Chances, which offers various drink specials, serves bar food items such as pizza and hot wings, and has karaoke nights.
