I call it "cozy"

I've been going to Pony since they opened the new space and while it is TINY, that kinda makes it fun. The drink beer selection is basic but tasteful and almost everything else is delightfully not. Think hooters for men who like men amplified and then concentrated in one triangle of Capital Hill. The crowd is always friendly and the patio is mostly covered; must be Seattle. Good solid gay bar.

Texas Size Welcome

I visited Austin last April and The Iron Bear had only just opened. It was a quiet thursday night but that gave me the chance to sit at the bar, enjoy a beer and have a great conversation with the barkeep. Now, I live in Seattle where people NEVER talk to each other, so going in and getting a genuine "howdy" and ernest smile was awesome. It's a great crew at The Iron Bear.
