Welcome to The Phoenix!

Thank you for visiting!

The Phoenix, Fresno's Bear Bar, is located at 4538 East Belmont Avenue in Fresno, CA—the same place that used to be The Den. We are a laid-back, no-attitude full-service bar serving not just the Bear Community but the entire gay community of the Central Valley. We are open every day of the year from 4:00pm 'til 2:00am with happy hour until 8:00pm every single day. The Phoenix is owned and operated by Bryan Beckstrand and his partner, Karl Jensen.

We are proud to serve six beers on tap:

• Blue Moon
• Miller High Life
• Budweiser
• Bud Light
• Newcastle Brown Ale
• Tamarack Amber Ale; brewed in down town Fresno.

Drink Local

We're quite excited to offer a locally-brewed beer on tap: Tamarack Amber.

From http://www.sequoiabrewing.com/:

"Tamarack is a full-flavored ale with a beautiful deep amber color and rich flavor created from a blend of six different malts. Chinook, Cascade, and Northern Brewer hops give this amber ale a perfect balance."

Come on down and give it a try. If you like amber beer, we're sure you'll appreciate it!

We also have their General Sherman IPA and Half Dome California Wheat in bottles for you at only $4.00. If you like IPAs or wheat beers, give 'em a shot!
