The Club Car, a queer venue and cocktail bar, started operating in January 2024 as a pop-up and has quickly established itself as an emerging space for queer folks in Baltimore to be in the community, have a craft cocktail, dance, or watch a performance.

The building is located in the Station North Arts District. It was previously The WindUp Space and then Rituals. It sits at an intersection of art and culture, walking distance from other venues where Baltimore Pride programming will take place over the next month.

The Club Car is busy. During the 25th Maryland Film Festival, the space was a hub for filmmakers and creatives to grab food or drinks between showings. You can regularly find weekend events to attend on their Instagram. 

One recent event was The Boys Next Door. Curated by boinextdoor, a Baltimore drag king, the event was a drag king and dragster showcase. The May 25th show featured performances by Gags Bedwell, Andi Erogenous, FemmeDaddy Foxxx, MANIC, Master Peace, Orion Ridgely, Mister Sister, Papi Spudz, and Captain Winchester. (Teri Henderson)
