Join GayCities, the fun way to discover the world

Granted, I usually only go here on the weekends, when it's livelier than other nights, but it's always crowded and there are a lot of people having fun. Strangers will chat with you and you can make some friends. (Though that might have more to do with a Body by Bud and this being a bear bar than anything else.) The drinks are strong and cheap, the music isn't loud enough to stop you from talking to people, and you can have a lot of fun here.

A nice place to watch the games, watch the boys and chat with friends. Like all bars, it's a bit tough when you walk in alone, but the staff is friendly and as with most of the New England bars - the locals do warm up.

Central Station is a bit of a hole in a wall, hard to find spot, by Kings Cross, but it's worth looking for. Central Station's main claim to fame, at least for me, is their club nights. Their revolving schedule of what felt like kinks to a repressed American was intriguing. But the men at these nights were never off putting. It was a lot of fun to visit and I look forward to coming back for a pint.

When I lived in NYC, a roommate took me here a few times. The staff were wonderful, laughing and making a homesick transplant feel welcome. The guys were gorgeous. The Web was always a balm when I needed it. Lift a pint for me.
