Diva’s
Though you can find girl-on-girl action in just about every square inch of Northampton, you might consider dropping by Diva’s, the city’s main gay-centric dance club that keeps its patrons sweaty thanks to a steady diet of thumping house music. There’s an outdoor area if it all gets too much.

Frank’s Place
For a quarter-century, Frank’s has provided the area’s gay community with a comfortable place to eat, drink, play pool and sing karaoke. No matter what the evening’s entertainment may turn out to be, there’s never a cover charge. Its birdcage room is not something you see every day.

MB Lounge
Depending on the night, this queer lounge runs the gamut from casual neighborhood bar to bass-thumping dance club to Sunday piano bar. The decor could use some updating, but hey, that only makes it typical of the rest of Worcester. Expect beers and a pool table.

Mirabar
This venerable bar for gay fellows attracts devoted regulars, many on a first-name basis with the bartenders. It’s got two floors – the second, a sort of promenade, overlooks the action of the main level’s dance floor.

168 York St Cafe
This bar-restaurant isn’t too far off its own billing as a gay Cheers. Sunday and Thursday nights will get you $1 domestic beers, while daily happy hours between 4pm and 7pm knock a dollar off all drink prices.

Polo Club
While this place seems to cater more to curious straight couples who come to watch the drag-queen shows than to gay men themselves, it’s a fun place to lounge around with a martini in hand, feeling fabulous.
