Tijuana has a vibrant gay scene right in the heart of the city, just a short walk from the border. The pedestrianized Plaza Santa Cecilia has a number of gay bars and many more are just a short walk away.
Most places have a mix of tourists and locals. Big thumping dance clubs, small bars and everything inbetween are available including several bathhouses.
Hustlers are fairly commmon in a number of places so make sure you know what you're getting into. Pickpockets can also be a problem in backrooms or in lap dancing places so keep your wallet and phone safe.
