Best Club in City
Technically I don't think we can call this a dance club, but we can call it a dance bar. It is the best club in the city. Period.
Chris Baumgartner is HOT
Chris Baumgartner is hot. He was also gay bartender of the year in Scene Magazine. He is the only real reason to go this bar. Reasons: guys are old and ugly or else they are ditsy little twinkies. Music sucks donkey ass. Neighborhood is not always the safest place at night. Small with not enough seating. Either too hot or too cold inside. Dirty. On a hot summer night it smells like used tampons. Go on Thursday at 9 when Mr. Baumgartner is there. He looks like a straight alternative rock stud. After undressing him with your eyes, finish your drink and go somewhere else, like Twist. Don't stay in the area too late for your own safety.
What a jolt
I was led to believe this was a club. Showed up and found the Flex baths. Didn't go in. Hamilton Avenue is night the right street for a nice white boy to be driving down at midnight on a Friday. Forget about it. Stick to the Leather Stallion if you absolutely have to drink in dangerous neighborhoods.
Falling on hard times
Cleveland's bars are not what they once were, according to those in the know. The Leather Stallion must be the model. Every buff guy and bear practically wets his pants over the Stallion. Too bad it doesn't match the publicity.
Why is this club in business???
If you market your bar as a leather establishment I think you should offer something in the way of leather. Video monitors show drag divas and shiny muscle dudes posing. Most men at the bar are not leather by any meaning of the term. The dungeon bar is closed for who knows how long, so leather is out of commission apparently. There is a leather introduction night for newbies, but when I went to it 2 times, only 3-5 men showed up for the times I was there. I'm told the leather community here was active. OK, what do you men mean by active?
Any hot guy in here is strictly for pay. Rent boys are the preferred guests of the management. The music is plain awful. The bar is filthy. Several assaults and a carjacking have taken place nearby. Men who go here do so strictly for the opportunity of buying sex or because they are friends of the owner.
