great Italian food in OAK CLIFF
First to Review - October 16, 2009 - Visited: October 2009
This is a very good Italian restaurant in the other gay part of town - Oak Cliff, not Oaklawn. I know, it's confusing that the two gay parts of town both have "Oak" in the name. Might be better to refer to the neighborhood as Biship Arts District.

Can't give this place a rating since I've never been; it's listed in the local gay rag though, and says it's a piano bar.
Strong, good coffee
First to Review - October 16, 2009
This is a funky, little place, like coffeehouses tend to be. You can get the local gay rag here and enjoy some good coffee.
Cliquish
First to Review - October 16, 2009
Only a handful of people were in the bar on a Saturday afternoon I went, they all knew each other, and all went behind the bar to get themselves their drinks or whatever, so I got the impression they all worked there. Seems to be the place for the hipster crowed; it has a lounge set-up, so you pretty much have to go with friends, otherwise you'll be sitting alone.
Needs more people to fill it up.

The bar has a nice, big open space. Went on a Friday night and was relatively dead, just like all the other bars in Denver. The only place in town that seems to get a crowd on a weekend night is Tracks. Supposedly this place gets packed on Sunday for their beer bust.
Tres gay cafe
First to Review - September 23, 2009 - Visited: September 2009
This is really a gay cafe, not just gay-friendly. They have the local gay rags and fun maps to peruse while sipping your beverage of choice. And you can get your big girl latte in a big ass mug, so you can sit down and chat, read, surf, whatever. They also have a decent choice of deserts, breakfast items and sandwiches that they serve in elementary school lunch boxes.
Popular amongst the not so health conscious
First to Review - September 23, 2009 - Visited: September 2009
Personally, I don't like this place because it's a diner, and it serves the typcial greasy spoon stuff. However, it is popular amongst the fags, walking distance from the Strip, and if you like diner grub, then you'd probably like this place.
Phenomenal
First to Review - September 22, 2009 - Visited: November 2007
Definitely like no other hotel/resort I've ever stayed at before. The whole complex is like a little colonial village, which sounds kitschy, but it was actually very charming and tastefully done. Several good dining options on site, including al fresco. They have shuttle vans that'll take you to the beach. It's within walking distance of Old Town Willemstad, the capital. At night you can here what must have been a bagilion frogs chirping, but it wasn't an annoying sound at all, it was other-worldly and very pleasant. Painfully romantic, and I can't rave about this place enough.
Horrendous
Posted: September 22, 2009
I think this is my first one-starrer. Definitely one of the worst 5 gay bars I've ever been to. Was there on a Saturday night, and the place was totally dead. There were just a few trolls lurching in the dark corners oogling anything that walked by. The only interesting thing there was this fetish-freak twink boy who greeted us. I don't know if he worked there, or was so high on drugs that he didn't realize how dead and pathetic that place was. Anyway, we high-tailed it out of there after one drink to try and salvage the rest of the night.
Nicish bar
First to Review - September 22, 2009
This is Rochester's version of the "nice" gay bar. In an older building, like the JR's in some other cities. Draught beer got it an extra star. I would suggest starting the night here, then moving on to Muther's for some drag and dancing.
Had low expectations and was still disappointed.
First to Review - September 22, 2009
Boring dive bar with a hideous crowd. The only redeemer is that the drinks were cheap. If you're a homely local or an alcoholic, this place is probably your cup of tea.
Small City Leather Bar
First to Review - September 20, 2009
Rochester is the smallest city I've ever been to that has a leather bar. It's pretty much what you'd expect from a bear/leather bar - divey with an older crowd. No back patio or dark room, so things stay pretty mild.
Best bet in Rochester if you're under 40
First to Review - September 16, 2009
Bar hopped around Rochester during Pride 2009. Yes, little ol' Rochester has its own Pride! This was the best of the bunch. My expectations were running pretty low after visiting the other dives in town, but this one had a youthful, hip, and good-looking crowd. Drag show was also entertaining - it was the fun, campy kind and not the tranny-wannabe's who are pretending like they're in a Miss America pageant. Good time.
Great Atmosphere, Lousy Service and Food
Posted: July 29, 2009 - Visited: July 2009
I think all the out-of-towners get lured here by the nice Victorian and outdoor seating. I even saw the poor reviews here before giving it a try, but went anyway. Well, the outdoor seating was nice on a summer evening, but the servers were like fresh out of high school and totally clueless. Menu was awful - very pretentious haute-cuisine wannabe, and none of it sounded good. I noticed that most of the people there ended up ordering hamburgers - at $35 for a starter salad, hamburger, and dessert, I'd say it was way overpriced. Skip this place.
Straight Latinos, Women, and Homos???
First to Review - July 26, 2009
Strange combination of about 75% straight Latinos and women, and about 25% gays. If it weren't for the drag performance, you would definitely thick is just like any other straight club. Not really my scene, but I managed to have some fun regardless.

First to Review - April 24, 2009
Nice enough place, with attractive people for Houston's standards. But a little bit sterile, stale, and boring with overpriced drinks. You know the type of place.
Awkward layout
First to Review - April 24, 2009
Only gay bar in the Heights. Not exactly bad, but it has a strange layout making it difficult to meet new people. If you really want to tickmark off having visited this bar, it's probably better to go with a friend.
...at least the bartender was fun
First to Review - April 02, 2008
Similar to Keith's place - in N. Tampa, 80's music, very laid back/friendly. Small place with not many people, but the bartender knew how to keep you around for more than just one drink. The crowd was basically rough trade.
Out of towners warmly welcomed

Went here once for vacation. Mixed crowd (lesbian/gay), and everyone was super nice. I'm a guy, and a lesbian offered for me to stay at her place (seriously) and another lesbian gave me her card. Then there were the offers from the guys... Very much recommended if you're new in town.
Great Dive
First to Review - November 26, 2007
Total whole in the wall, but a great place to go if you just want to kill an afternoon drinking beer and chatting with friendly, entertaining people.
"Camp" is right
First to Review - November 26, 2007 - Visited: October 2007
Definitely not upscale, but it's pretty decent for what it is. Has a campy 50's look to it, which kind of makes it endearing. But there wasn't a very attractive crowd there. Overall ok.
