About The Iron Bear

The Iron Bear was created by bears for bears and their admirers, but its relaxed welcome reaches well beyond that core crowd. The downtown bar is equally suited to a casual daytime beer, a meal with friends or a louder night built around karaoke and DJs. The mood is masculine without being exclusive, and regulars give the place an easy community feel. Come as you are, leave the drama outside and do not be surprised if an ordinary drink turns into a shirt-off dance night.

What to expect

A friendly, masculine-leaning gay bar with bears, food, karaoke, DJs and a relaxed daytime-to-late-night rhythm.
