Soulard Bastille and Cobalt Grill

29.17 Local/Small Businesses

29.19 Nightlife & Bars

29.23 Theater & Performing Arts

Trans Affirming

Soulard Bastille, as opposed to The Bastille prison in France, is actually a cool little bar. A friendly bar which is open to anyone where they don’t believe in labels it truly is everyone’s bar. If you're looking for a smoky gay bar in which to wile the night away, the Soulard Bastille may be your new favorite hang. The owner closed the kitchen in order to skirt the 2011 smoking ban, and has since hung giant cigarette sculptures outside the bar that read "This house is a'smokin." The bartenders are extremely friendly; don't be surprised if they ask you -- no, make that, order you -- to belly up to the bar for mandatory shots.
