RobTX's Profile

I travel quite a lot in Texas and make it to Austin every couple of months or so. The Chain Drive has changed every time and not for the better. The days of Leather Men are gone in Austin...and so is the concept of being polite. The last time I was there (August 2005), the bar could only be described as RUDE!! The bartender at the front would not even speak but just glared at me when I tried to order (probably because I took him away from talking to his friends). The people there were very cliquish and would not even speak. One guy even stepped on my boot and didn't even apologize. The only saving grace was the manager, Dave, who was working at the back bar. He smiled, talked when I ordered drinks and was just a nice guy. Shame that the bar has just gone down hill fast. Get ready for a cross-section of the population. From twinks to cowboys but if you are looking for leather, then keep looking for another bar.
