Charlie's (Bar or Club in Phoenix)
Nice Dance Floor, and nice outdoor Patio!
Posted: April 28, 2008
Was here for Gay World Series in August, and had a good time! The dance floor was always hopping, full of guys (probably the 100+ teams that were in town), and met some really nice people. The staff was friendly, service was fairly quick (got quicker with a nice tip!), and the patio is a great place to get away from the music and smoke! Overall, an enjoyable experience here!
THE Standard in Austin.

When in Austin, this is THE bar to stop in and see. Bartenders are quick and cute, reasonable prices, good mix of people. They have also put some $$ into a remodel. The people here are friendly and it's a nice spot to end your night!
Excellent front bartender on the weekend!

Was here April '08 and didn't realize that there is a $5 cover on Friday nites! Still, had 2 drinks here. The go-go boys were TOTALLY LAME, as one just sat there and talked with a "friend" and the other was on his iPhone texting. BORING! Also, we must have gotten there at dinner, as the staff was eating for our entire stay here. Cheap prices came with the cover, but the rest makes it a questionable stop at best.
What happened to the Chicken Coop?
Posted: April 22, 2008
Was here in April '08 after a long abscence and the place hadn't changed that much to me. The one patio where all the cruising used to take place was well lit, and had lots of people looking for action - but nothing happening! The other patio is open and really nice to sit down and chat with friends. The drinks were reasonable, but a cover on the weekends for this place seems a bit over the top for what you get once inside.
Younger, trendy crowd.

Came here after the Pegasus so already had a good buzz going. They do have a nice patio, and a great bartender back there too! The crowd was younger, trendier, and I felt a bit out of place. Wasn't near as friendly as Pegasus, but had more eye-candy to look at. The music the DJ was spinning was difficult to dance to as well.
Kareoke on a Saturday nite?!
Posted: April 22, 2008
Was here for most of the evening and sat outside on the patio. It was a nice spot to get away, until the place filled up! Kareoke going on all nite - some good, some bad - but still had fun! Drinks were reasonable, bar was crowded - overall, a good spot to see and be seen in SA!
A total mix of young/old!

Moby's must be the staple of the Castro. Had an easy feel to it where you could come in all dressed up or dressed down and fit right in! The drinks were cheap, but not so many friendly folks here. It's like a neighborhood bar, and if you're not part of the neighborhood people sit back and stare. Good eye candy here of all ages!
Fun and more Fun here!

Small space with some decent 80's tunes playing on a Saturday night. The place was full, so sitting down was a tough act. Found a spot, ran into some practicing drag queens and the photoshoot ensued! Had fun here!! The drinks were cheap ($4/beer) and the people we met were friendly enough. Good mix of young/old here. Several diffent videos playing for the music so lots of folks focused on the flat screen TV's and not the people in the crowd.
Nice place, easy to find, full of men!
Posted: November 13, 2007
Saturday night this place was happening! Good music spinning but a small dancefloor. Big space with lots of places to sit and watch people. A little bit young for me, but the place was full of eye candy with more walking in by the minute.
First bar hit during the Castro visit.
Posted: November 13, 2007
Ok, hit this bar early on a Saturday night and it was getting full already. Not many young things here, but a few bear daddies to look at. Not the most pretty people here, but the beers were cheap and the set up is all about cruising. Stand at the top of the stairs to get a good look at the front bar!
Sunday Beer Bust is the BOMB!
Posted: November 13, 2007
Went here on a Friday night - very empty and half girls/guys. Went back on Sunday for Beer Bust - FULL of hot guys! Sure, I'm 38 and seeing other guys my age that were that hot just makes me want to go back. Most were super friendly, and some leather shown, saw a porn star there even! Didn't see much under 28, so if you're looking for young/hot, go elsewhere. Beer at the bust was $10 drink until 6 pm, so get there early to get you $$ worth! Ended up hooking up with a hot couple here!!!
Not a Dark Room - it's well lit.
Posted: November 13, 2007
Went here on a Friday night and the place was full of guys. Drinks weren't so great, but the outdoor patio was full of people. There was one guy getting a BJ, but nothing else really. If you're going for the Dark Room, it's the outdoor patio and it's well lit. So, put on a good show as EVERYONE can see you. It was ok for what is was: Cheap drinks, some eye candy, decent music but I wouldn't go just for the action on the back patio.
Are the people hiding somewhere?
Posted: November 13, 2007
Went here on a Friday nite just at midnight. 12 people in the entire place, with one guy ROLLING around the dance floor. Classy. The guy at the door charged two of us a cover ($5/ea) and when we paid with a $20, he didn't want to give us our change back. Avoid this place as there are better ones.
Sunday afternoon is hopping!
Posted: November 13, 2007
Went here on a Friday nite - EMPTY! Sunday afternoon - FULL! It was a fun place, with lots of bear types. There was some good eye candy here, and the people were friendly! It's a good place to hang out, grab a drink, and make new friends!
Dark bar with lots of Old Trolls!
Posted: October 23, 2007
Ok, from the street it looked closed. Went in and the beer was cold and service was fast. The Back Patio is little more than a barn with pebble gravel, but there is a lot of action back there. Yeah, once you get some action, you're more likely to stay there, otherwise I wouldn't put it up on the top of my list.
Very nice bar!
Posted: October 23, 2007
This place is HUGE! It's clean, it's modern, it has tons of space to house all the pretty boys you can handle. Although the people here aren't near as friendly as elsewhere, it's a stand-and-model bar worth checking out. Service to get a drink was always fast, too!
It's THE staple of Gay Bars in Chicago!
Posted: October 23, 2007
As a visitor, you HAVE to go here. It's sort of like a pilgrimmage to a Gay Mecca!? It's got cold beer and some good eye candy to go with it. Could use a little updating as it's laid out with lots of narrow corridors and old built in seating/standing areas. Overall, a great place to start your night in Chicago.
Small place with a broken toilet!
Posted: October 23, 2007
Was here for about an hour, and while the beer was cold and the people were friendly, there wasn't much space on/off the dance floor and the bathroom was DISGUSTING. It may have just happened, but eww!
Leather Gear Welcome Here!
First to Review - October 18, 2007 I went to the Block years back, but had a great time while there. Drink prices are the same as anywhere else, plus there is a separate room for those guys that come decked out in leather gear. If you play that way, this is your place, as the backroom had several items to get strapped to and have a good time. Don't come too early, as people don't show until late - after midnight.
Nice place to get away from Best Friends! First to Review - September 04, 2007 Was here celebrating with a group way into 80's tunes. The paid jukebox was playing 80's hit and the cheap drinks were flowing. Other than the group, not much of a crowd, but it's just across the street from Best Friends so if it's cramped or overflowing head on over here!
Definately Away from it all!

It's been ages since I've been here, but was just there this last weekend (8-31-2007) and the place was hopping! Drag show every Fri/Sat, and the drinks weren't too expensive ($3/beer I think) so it made the night just fly by! The crowd was a mix of locals that seemed to know each other, and the one bartender was worth taking a second, or third look! I'll go back, soon!
Stampede on in!
Posted: August 21, 2007
I think this place was re-opened about 2 years ago, as it was the Corral before that. Major changes included ripping out the old/nasty carpet, a paint job, and concrete floors. Drag shows all the time draw in the crowds, and I think all the poeple there smoke - heavily! The back bar is a place to get away from the show, and they have a nice outdoor patio to sit for a spell too. Not for the trendy or non-smokers, but the drinks are cold and cheap ($0.50 draft beers everyday?!)
Fort Worth's Premiere Lesbian Bar
Posted: August 21, 2007
I've been to this bar on several occasions, and each time it was an evening to remember. From the moment I walked in, I was pushed/shoved and stepped on by the women that obviously don't want gay men in their place. Fine, I can get that. Headed to the back bar where there is a male bartender where I had a chance at getting a drink. Music is country, and it's really a good atmosphere if you find a spot where you're not in any womens way. Takes a long time to get a drink once the place gets busy, but what bar doesn't have that down side?
