gay bars/clubs


Explanation:
It seems to me you'd be looking for trouble if you used a euphemism. "De ambiente" means its frequented by a particular group.

gay bars / gay places


Explanation:
Es más específico que gay friendly; gay friendly implica que el local simpatiza con los gays, pero la mayoría del público no tiene por qué necesariamente ser gay

places/areas with gay ambiance


Explanation:
gay-friendly implies that gays are accepted but this is 'ambiente' which to me is a place predominately for gays

gay hangouts


Explanation:
Obviously depends on audience but if relatively informal (tourist guide), could work. Also found it on gay.com website.
