About San Jose

Gay Guide to San Jose

San Jose, the largest city in Silicon Valley, anchors the South Bay's LGBTQ+ scene with a cluster of bars downtown. Splash is the area's main video dance club, Mac's Club is the oldest gay bar in the South Bay. The Billy DeFrank LGBTQ+ Community Center has served the community for decades. Silicon Valley Pride brings a parade and festival to downtown each year. The scene is smaller than San Francisco's to the north, but San Jose has its own steady set of venues and a large, diverse population to match.
