The Korner is a great place and the owner Jason is amazing. Enjoyed my small gathering for my bday thanks to Jason being so kind. Support your local queer bars.
A great evening after a show nearby. Jason is an excellent bartender and the bar has an excellent jukebox and vibe.
A true gem of Shrieveport. Do not let the space fool you, the people are genuine, and everytime I have been there the experience has been a delight.
This place is like out of a movie. The atmosphere is intoxicating
Absolutely a diamond in the rough.
Jason is a one in a million person! Highly recommended enjoying life at the Korner Lounge.
I absolutely love this place. From the freedom to be yourself all the way to the respect they show the community. 10/10
Korner Lounge is the second oldest LGBTQ bar in the state, with 70+ years serving our community. There are drag shows multiple times a month, community events, live music, trivia, karaoke and open mic. It’s my second home, and I’m lucky to have had a hand in helping with their entertainment and social media. If you go, you’ll see why it’s so many folks favorite place.
Friendly owner and tasty mocktails. Trivia is fun and the shows are awesome! Dog friendly!
We have been going to this place for years because of the great atmosphere, the knowledgeable staff, and decent drinks. Jason has always made us feel at home through the events and off days. A great spot to wind down after a long day of work work. Give him your money!
