Venue Detail
CC Slaughters
About this venue
A long-running Old Town gay bar and dance venue whose current calendar spans queer and trans EDM, live-band karaoke, drag, bingo and visiting performers. Its 2025 closure announcement did not become a permanent shutdown; the active official site and 2026 programming are the correct current signals.

Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
Early bar hours are easy; headline drag, Pride and Saturday dance programming can create a door line and compressed Old Town pavement.
Best night
Use the calendar: queer-trans EDM, live-band karaoke, Safari productions and bingo serve different audiences. Saturday is not automatically the best fit for everyone.
Locals vs visitors
Gay men, drag audiences, trans and queer DJs, tourists, karaoke regulars and Old Town nightlife visitors share a venue whose crowd changes sharply by programme.
Dress code in practice
Club-casual and expressive looks are common with no verified standing fashion code. Bring ID, secure valuables and check event-specific bag rules.
Staff inclusion
Dedicated LGBTQ+ operation and explicitly queer-trans bookings provide direct evidence. Old Town context and venue layout make access planning sensible before a major event.
