Fort Smith and Fayetteville are one hour apart, but their two gay clubs are entwined by more than their relative proximity in northwest Arkansas, home of Walmart’s international headquarters and the tiny, gay-friendly Eureka Springs.
Panama City boasts several popular gay clubs and bars, offering a vibrant nightlife experience: El Sotano / El Apartamento in Bella Vista is perhaps the most crowded gay-friendly venue. These sister venues offer an open-minded and friendly atmosphere with great music and themed parties, including live performances and alternative music events.
