WONDERFUL NEW GAY RESORT

We are right now staying here. We really didn't know what to expect since the last time we stayed at a gay resort in St. Petersburg was several years ago at the Suncoast which was a total mess. Now for our review of the new Flamingo Resort..... Driving into the Resort from the street, it was nice, clean, very NICE. The lobby was very Floridian and the deskclerk, Tim was very professional,courteous and friendly. Our room was very clean and nice. The pool area was extremely well kept and the landscaping was good. They have a couple of bars, the outside pool bar and the inside bar was is very upscale. Our favorite bartender (and everyone else's) was Joey who is one of the finest and most professional bartenders that we have ever had. He KNOWS how to be a bartender. Their restaurant is also very nice. The Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg area has needed a gay resort like this for a long time. For those not wanting to go to Ft. Lauderdale/South Beach, this is wonderful. We know it will only get better and better. Their owners and staff have done a remarkable job.

One of the BEST in Kansas City!

Located just off the Plaza this restaurant knows what to do and how to operate a fine restaurant. Service is always a 10, Food is always a 10, Food presentation is always a 10 and Ambiance is a 10. Great happy hour for both drinks and food. Feel free to take all your str8 friends and relatives there. In our travels from coast to coast this is one of the best for a Gay owned restaurant. You can never go wrong with any entree that you order. VERY upscale in a beautiful setting.

SMOKE AND SMOKING AND UGH !

Just walk in the front door and it reeks of smoke ! Even the bartenders smoke ! If you like for your clothes and body to smell like smoke, then go ! otherwise avoid that place.

THANK GOODNESS IT HAS CLOSED FOR GOOD

This is a prime example on how NOT to operate a bar whether it is a Gay bar or str8 bar. Owner had no idea what he was doing. Bartenders were either not trained or did not know what they were doing and not friendly ! Prices varied from customer to customer. They had complaints after complaints after complaints but the owner would do nothing. Then when they closed, of course the owner likes to blame everybody but himself. GREAT that it is closed. Being a Gay person in Santa Fe is already so easy and any Gay person can walk into ANY bar and feel comfortable.

Out side of Chicago, this is the best Gay bar in the Midwest !

We went to this bar for the first time last weekend and was amazed how nice it was. Clean, Friendly bartenders and staff, great drinks, lots of room and a huge patio out back. All age groups and everyone is extremely friendly. Seems as though everyone there wants to talk and have fun. We did get to meet the owners, John and Jeromy as well as Harrison the General Manager. This bar is run like a real business and they do everything the right way. In our travels from coast to coast we get so tired of going into sleezy gay bars. We were there three different times and twice they had a free buffet and another time they had free pizza that was brought in for customers. They have a large front room and then three additional rooms. We really enjoyed their Sunday Broadway Shows video and everyone joined in singing. They are in a very safe location and very easy to find. There are several other bars in the area but when we walked by them and looked in, they only had 3 or 4 customers. Duh! Everyone goes to Just John and why not ? Thanks for doing it the right way guys !

BEST BAR IN NEW ORLEANS ! ! ! ! !

There are a lot of bars in New Orleans and they are all basically alike, however the 700 Club is really an exception. The entire staff is so friendly and hospitable. The owner, Matt really knows how to run a business. Actually he is one of the best owners of any in the country He KNOWS how to keep customers coming back again and again. The customers are also very friendly and people there ACTUALLY TALK to each other !!! It is two blocks from Bourbon St. so the neighborhood is rather quiet which is a good thing. It is a VERY clean bar and the drinks are very reasonably priced. We were in NOLA for a few days and can't wait to return to this bar. We won't even waste our time going to the other bars. THANKS to the owner for having such a great bar !

Fun, Fun and Campy

We had their Saturday "Drag Brunch" today and it was utterly wonderful. Our server was fun and campy and made everybody in the entire establishment get "with it" and everyone had a great time. We ordered the Eggs Florentine which was one of the best prepared that have every had and also ordered the Breakfast Burrito which was tremendous. This is NOT bar food, but rather fine dining. We HIGHLY recommend you try their Saturday and Sunday "Drag Brunches.

New Hamburger Mary's in Kansas City

Unfortunately, we cannot give this restaurant any more than a one star rating. We really enjoy all of the other Hamburger Mary's that we have been to around the country.

Bad management

Due to new management, we do not recommend this place

This place has gone DOWNHILL so quckly !

Unfortunately the bar to the side room does not have good service. Have been there a few times and the woman who is behind the bar is NOT professional. She is always chatting with other employees and not taking care of business. Never greets anyone when they come in, It takes forever to get drinks. It has NOTHING to do with a woman or man bartender. BAD bartenders are BAD bartenders! So sad, as this bar could really be the "in" spot but many people have stopped going there. Hopefully the owner/management will take heed however the owner/management could care less so we won't be going back. We have heard dozens of complaints about the service at this bar. Such a shame as Kansas City needs a good gay friendly/straight friendly bar in this neighborhood.

Doesn't Get Any Better Than The Palace

We visited South Beach the middle of January for 5 days and went to the Palace EVERY DAY ! What does tell you? We loved the place. It IS busy but they have a lot of employees to give great service. Drag shows are awesome. We found the bartenders as well as waiters to be very friendly and professional. They are located in a perfect location right on Ocean Blvd. and it is the perfect place for people watching. Guess you can tell that we really enjoyed this bar/restaurant. We dined there for their Sunday brunch and had the pasta dish which was excellent. We would certainly highly recommend this place to anyone going to South Beach. Forget the other bars in the area and concentrate on this one. We LOVED it! Bar owners all over the country should fly down to see how to properly operate a bar that everyone wants to go to.

Best Gay Hotel we have ever stayed !

We stayed at this hotel the middle of January and everything was perfect. Lobby is bright yellow and white. Rooms are very comfortable with a lot of amenities. They had a nice restaurant or you can dine on their front patio and people watch. Bar is very upscale or drink out at one of their 3 pools. Great location as it is just a block from Ocean Drive and to the beach and the Palace Bar which is main bar in South Beach. We just can't enough good things about this place. All of the staff was extremely friendly and hospitable. Would certainly recommend this hotel to any traveler going to South Beach. You sure don't need a car here as you can walk anywhere for shopping, dining or drinking or the beach. It is all about location, Location, LOCATION and this hotel has the perfect location. We have stayed at several gay hotels however this is the best one ever. The owner/management has a sure winner on their hands as it jsut opened late last year. Really a first class operation.

Fabulously Wonderful restaurant

We were thrilled with the ambiance, the decor, the service and the food. Had the best beet soup that we have ever had and in addition the entrees were perfect. What is NOT to like about this place? The owners are very professional and they Chef is extremely talented. It is one of our very favorite restaurants in Florida. Great location, ample parking, reasonable prices. Why can all owners take care of the customers the way these owners do? We recommend i highly.

This restaurant has been sold.

This restaurant has been sold and new owners no longer respond to our emails. Sad.

Great for a Fun, casual dining experience

Thiis is fun, campy, casual restaurant. Staff is fun and campy and that is what it is all about here. They have Hamburger Mary's from coast to coast and this is by far they best one we have been to. Good hamburgers, drinks and desserts. If you are a shy person, the staff will take care of that. Wade was our server and was extremely friendly. Manager of duty was Erica and extremely professional. For travelers to the Windy City, always make this one of your stops.

Simply WONDERFUL

We dined there Sept. 11th and had one of the most enjoyable dining experiences. The ambiance is great and the service is superb. But it is the food and food presentation that is the best of all. Started off with their soup of the day which was freshly prepared and then the entree. We used taste buds that we have not used in months! Everything and we do mean everything was perfect. We looked around the restaurant and all of the patrons were having a great time and enjoying themselves. This has to be one of the finest Mexican restaurants that we have had the privilege to enjoy. We certainly recommend this to any traveler to Chicago as well as residents of the Windy City. We just can't say enough great things about this restaurant.

The Best of the Best

It just doesn't get any better than this. Ambiance, service, quality of food, food presentation all wrapped up into a outstanding dining experience. Appetizers, salads, soups, and entrees are all top notch and can't be beat by ANY restaurant in the city. Great location and wonderful for people watching if you are into that as it is located right on a busy street however for a more comfortable experience we suggest dining at one of the back tables to enjoy the real ambiance of a fine dining experience. They also have a back patio for those wishing to partake in that ambiance as well. We used taste buds that we have not used in a long time. We HIGHLY suggest this a MUST DINE experience when you are in Chicago. They also have a bar area which is quite popular. The owners/management and servers are all top notch!

Great Bed & Breakfast in Chicago

This is relative new Guest House (Bed and Breakfast) just north of Boystown. Immaculate! The interior has been compeltely remodeled and the interior architecture is magnificant. Different rooms have different thems, and all run toward the "leather" themes. Owners are very friendly, professional and hospitable. Breakfast is served each morning. This is the perfect place for all gay travelers to stay when visiting Chicago. The bus line is just steps from the front door and you can go anywhere in the city. Hop on the bus and you are in Boystown. First time here and we are thrilled with this Guest House.

FABULOUSLY WONDERFUL

We had lunch there and tried a little of everything. Each entree was exciting, tasty and wonderful. Great Presentation of food. Wonderful service in a nice atmosphere. You can either dine inside or outside. This is PERFECT for the best Mexican dining experience in Las Vegas! No, in the entire State. No, in the entire Midwest!

Home cooking at is finest

If you want REAL home cooking in a nice atmosphere and great service, we suggest Paymon's. They have been around for years and have a very loyal following with the gay crowd. Everything we had was wonderful. When you want to just have a wonderful dining experience which is not expensive, try Paymon's.

We won't return!

Everyone doesn't like everyplace. We used to enjoy this piano bar however. We went there evertime we were in Ogunquit, since the 1990's. New owner had changed the bar's image way too much! When we were there we talked with several out of town people who said that they had gone but would never return. Way too bad, as this could be a wonderful bar as it was in the past.

Clean, safe, close to bars and restaurants

The St. Louis Guesthouse has been in business for many years. It is located in a nice safe area, with free parking and within walking distance to bars and restaurants. Go out to drink and party and then walk back to your room. Actually Clementine's Bar and Restaurant is right next door. We stayed in a nice two room kitchenette. Nice large rooms. Owners are very personalble.

Bartenders smoke in your face!

We realize that there are a lot of bars in the country that allows smoking, however why does a bartender think that they have a right to smoke while they are working? Putting their smokey hands in ice, handling your glass and blowing smoke in your face while they serve you. Then puts their ashtray right in front of you. There are a lot of other bars in greater Jacksonville to go to party. Happy hour crowd is a joke.

Sadly to say, it has gone DOWNHILL !

In the past year,this bar has sadly gone from a very good bar, to not so good. Staff is not friendly anymore. Owners are unresponsive. Such a shame. We were there in December and they have lost their crowd. They need to have their bartenders STOP SMOKING WHILE THEY ARE WAITING ON CUSTOMERS!

Has seen better days.

Nothing special here. Crappy bar food, bartenders can ignore customers a lot. Tourists have a lot of bad things to say about this bar including us. Located in a good area which is a shopping area and good security. We have been coming to this bar for 9 years and it gets worse every year. We won't return

Only clothing optional place in St. Petersburg

Located in a very safe area and close to most of the bars and restaurants as well as downtown. The owner Brian is extremely hospitable. This is the only clothing optional place around. Plenty of free parking. Great pool area with Palm trees and a large hot tub. We recommend it.

GOOD FOR LUNCH !

Located in Wilton Manor within walking distance to the bars. A good place to go for lunch. Dine either inside or out on the large patio. Large selection on the menu.

The BEST of the Best !

We have been staying at the Grand Resort for several years and it just keeps getting better and better. We travel from coast to coast and this is the finest and most professionally operated gay resorts in the country. Beautiful, comfortable and just a block from the ocean. Lush tropical setting. We recommend it to every gay person. The owner, management and the entire staff are the best. There is also an on-site Spa and hair salon which is absoutely wonderful. General Manager, Herb and Guest Services Manager, Peter are two of the most professional gentlemen that we have ever encountered. They have apartments as well as rooms. A large variety of guests stay there. Everything about the Grand is....... well...... GRAND !

If you like smoke, then go !

This bar is the only bar in greater KC that allows smoking and almost EVERYBODY in the bar smokes. You will leave with smoke all over your clothes. On Friday nights they do have a good dinner and you can dine outside on their patio. This bar is located in Kansas City, Kansas and is far from all the others bars. Plenty of free on-street parking. Lots of "mature" regulars here every night.

Very upscale and wonderful !

A very interesting upscale bar and restaurant servicing delicous food. Great interior! Always busy with good bartenders and a nice crowd. Great ambiance with old brick decor. Reminds of us some of the very upscale bars in NYC. Outdoor patio for smokers. Owners Gene and Jeffery have done a fabulous job. Located in the Westport area. You can bring anybody to this bar to drink or dine and have a wonderful time. Always plenty of free parking. Great Happy Hour prices.

Kansas City's oldest bar

This bar has been around for many, MANY years. The owner/manager has given tenfold back to the community for all of these years. This is the first bar visitors to Kansas City always go to first. All bars in KC are smoke free but they have a wonderful outdoor patio for smokers. Leather/Levi Upstairs which is alway HOT! Owner Michael and manager Jan are the best owners and managers in the entire Midwest!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL !!!

We have been dining (and drinking) here for years. Located right on the corner in the Plaza of downtown Santa Fe, it is located in an interesting hotel. The food, ambiance and service are all wonderful! Drinks at the bar are quite high! and we do mean "QUITE HIGH" but your in Santa Fe. The menu at the restaurant is very far-reaching and the Chef certainly knows how to please diners. If your not sure, they will even prepare a small portion for you to try before ordering. Very laid back but wonderful. We ALWAYS dine here when we visit Santa Fe and we have been going there for years. Then walk out to the Plaza and walk all around visiting the exciting shops.

Nice sometimes

Dependidng on who the bartener is, this can be a ncie bar but if the wrong bartender is there it can be a bad experience. Why can't owners understand that a bartender can make or break a bar ?

dirty ole bar, but fun

When you are in New Orleans, things are different. You are not going to find any elegant bars here. This one is a typical tourist bar, with bartenders KNOW you are in town for just a few days, so they do not give good service. Drinks are way too high, but you ARE in New Orleand so go ahead and have fun. You can't go wrong ordering either can or bottle beer.

Always packed !

This bar/restuarant has been around for years and years. They are always packed. This is a mature crown bar. Just remember that when you go. VERY few of the younger crowd go here. Located in the Wilton Manor area, they are open for lunch and dinner and the bar is open all the time. They have a great lunch buffet with happy hour prices. They offer a nice selection in the dinner menu and some nights are two for one. Also a huge bar (three rooms) with wonderful live piano bar music. If your into mature men, this is THE bar to go to. Two great entertainers to see here are "Tony & Gloria" at the piano and also "Chris of South Beach" at the piano. Very and we do mean VERY friendly crowd.

Like eating at Denny's

Nothing exciting about eating here. Plain food and the prices keep going up. Service is not that great and the food is just regular. For breakfast and real late night is best when you are going home from the bars or needing someplace to have breatkast. Plenty of free parking and not too far from Wilton Manor's bar area.

Horrible Drag show and food not that good!

They have a Sunday drag show where the drag queens serve you dinner. You go to the bar to get drinks. Show is VERY hum-drum. During the week, they also have live music. Located in a shopping center. Have been twice and most likely will never return. Bartenders and staff could care less if you are there or not.

REALLY LIKED THIS BAR !!!

Good bar, friendly, nice patio and great bartenders. This is one of the cleanest and newest bars that we have been to in quite a while. Nice drag show. Great music! Be sure and stop by this bar if your in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. We wish them success!

fun bar

There REALLY is a lot of difference between the bars in Dallas and the bars in Ft. Worth. F.W. is just more laid back and much friendly. This bar has extremely friendly bartenders and great music.

Good and FRIENDLY crowd

When we were visiting Dallas, we drove one night and it is a bar where everyone knows everyone else and if they don't they will introduce themselves to you. Lots of things going on from Karoke to Drag shows and more. Just a nice bar.

good to party, but to NOT stay

Great location and their T-dances are a must, but stay somewhere else. Walls in the rooms are paper thin and you can hear everything going on. Housekeeping staff forgot to clean our rooms, VERY NOISY! Staff not friendly. Stay someplace else and attend their T Dances.

Great Pizza !

You eat out for different reasons. You eat here because it is cheap, Great Pizza and you can meet a LOT of other gays here. If you have partied too much, this is a quick, place and safe place to get some food into your body.

Always wonderful !

We have dined here three times and EVERY TIME it was a grand dining experience. The ambiance, food, service, food presentation was always way above average. There are just way too many "mediocre" cafes and restaurants in Ptown so do go here to enjoy your dining experience.

An Institution in Ptown

Take your camera, take a photo, stand in line with everyone else and it is a must at least once when you are in Ptown. Not fabulous, but good food and it's like going back in time.

Very nice ambiance

We love dining here when we have friends with us. Good food and service and the patio is a great place to just sit, drink and eat and watch people from all over.

FABULOUSLY WONDERFUL !

In this town of so many "regular" cafes and restaurants it a real treat to dine here. GREAT service, GREAT ambiance and GREAT food! We highly recommend dining here.

If your in to just "OK" it's okay!

Wonderful location but the food is just average. Long lines, but people have eat somewhere and the tourists love this place. But most tourists are accustomed to just average service and food. Staff is not friendly.

Way too far from the other bars

We had to drive around the block 4 times until we found out that it is hidden in the middle of a strip mall. Bartenders were NOT friendly but all the customers were very friendly. Bartender made a mistake a poured a drink on one of us and didn't even say "I'm sorry". It's just too far to drive from all the other bars in the central gay section of Phoenix.

Nice, friendly bar

We had a good time here. Very friendly bartenders and customers like to talk to everybody. As tourists we always like when we don't have to start conversations. Everyone seems to have a good time here.

Great tourist place to visit!

We go to a lot of Observatories around the country and this is one of the best and also has great views of the city. A very scenic drive up to the top. Go early in the morning so there won't be very many people or just before they close.

Worth the trip!

We have visited here several times. Always love the exhibits and the floral/botanical gardens. Great place to spend several hours. Nice restaurant as well. VERY artsy! and always see and meet very eclitic people.

Be sure and see this place!

It's a great place to visit in the afternoon when your the only ones there or in the evenings for a concert. Easy parking or easy to get to by public transportaion. Under the stars is a great way to watch any performance. You won't even think your in L.A. when you are here.

TRUE ITALIAN FOOD

A true dining experience. Chef Marcellino and his wife/host are tremendous and make a wonderful team. His cooking and her hosting blends for a perfect dining experience. They have a huge gay following. We are talking REAL Italian food here. Plan to spend some time enjoying everything. Their deserts are also great. We HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. It is located in a shopping mall strip so don't let that fool you. You need to make reservations as they are extremely busy.

Can be a VERY cruisy beach and beautiful!

Everything we had heard about this beautiful beach is true! Located southwest of Tampa (south of St. Petersburg, but just a short drive. They have different sections of the beach and you can real quickly tell where the gay part is, with sand dunes, etc. We were here three days and lots of guys each day.

One of the finest dining experiences ever!

There are but a handful of restaurants that we can list in the top 10 in the country and this is certainly one of them. Located downtown and just a couple of blocks from the Royal Elizabeth B and B, this Mexican offers the best of everything. Quite loud because of the great time that everyone is having and the tile floors. The food is unbelievably fabulous! The owner is such a joy. She is tremendous! If we lived in Tucson we would be dining there at least once a week. Great Mexican decor and food is extremely fresh. We REALLY recommend Cafe Poca Cosa!

Old European Atmosphere!

This nice old hotel and restaurant has lost it's glitter. The restaurant has gone downhill 90%. The last few times we went there less than 10 people were dining there. So sad. It is THE place not to go to anymore.

Real Classy!

This hotel is located right on the famous Country Club Plaza. VERY elegant. Used to be the Ritz-Carlton. Great views from the rooms and bar area of the Plaza. Close (but not walking distance) to the bars. Nice restaurant (as well as three dozen restaurants with the Plaza area). You will have to pay a little more, but it is worth it. Rooms and hotel has great elegant atmosphere.

Marvelous place to go in Indy!

Several cities in the Midwest are having First Friday's in their art districts and in Indy this is great. It is a wonderful way to meet other gays without going to the bars, PLUS you can visit some interesting galleries and artwork.

Wonderful Bar for everyone!

Huge complex with something for everyone. Great Dancing and a good quiet bar. VERY nice! One of the best in the Midwest. We loved it. Modern, clean, friendly staff. GO !

Good Food

We had good food and service however they were not busy at all. We went in twice during our visit there and about a half dozen people is all they ever had there. But we did enjoy the food.

ABSOLUTELY GREAT !!!!!

This is the FINEST gay RV/Campgrounds in the entire country! The owners (one lesbian and one gay) are so professional and run a tight ship. They have special "theme" weeks all summer long. VERY clean! VERY quiet! but VERY busy. Guys from all over come from their city life for weekends here. Some keep their RV's parked there all year long. They also have places for tents and they also have a guest house with rooms. The owners are really to be commended on the work that they have done and continue doing.

Wild ! NUDE ! and FUN !

We have been going to Saugatuck for years and for the past 25 the one that has never changed is Oval Beach! You walk on the beach and pay a small charge to go to the North end which is the gay end. It is clothing optional and the sand dunes go up and down and lots of "private places". If for no other reason, this is a great reason to vvisit Saugatuck. It faces Chicago so take a boat from Chicago and sail to Saugatuck.

Close to everything and great!

We stayed here in July and everything was perfect. GREAT hotel, great bar, free drinks for happy hour and within walking distance to the downtown bars. Our room was very nice and staff was extremely friendly. They also have a good restaurant.

And we do mean skip it!

When this was the RUN, we always stopped by for drinks but now it has changed so much. VERY SEEDY! Staff is not friendly.

It used to be fabulous!

We have been going to Omaha for over 25 years and the Max was always the place to go. Now, sadly to say, it has really gone downhill. Way too many of the staff has horrible attitudes. Bartenders are not friendly. It is huge and has plenty of different places and rooms to go for different types of music. But it certainly is not what it used to be, sadly to say.

Regular bar with no pretense.

When you go to any bar in a new town, you have to talk to people. You just can't wait for people to talk to you. Sometimes they are snooty but most of the times, people are just shy but if you talk to them first, then it seems that others will start talking. This bar needs updating badly.

Fun! Friendly! WILD!

If you can't have fun at this bar, you might as well stay home. EVERYBODY including staff is super friendly. People come to this bar for ONE REASON and one reason only! To have FUN! and ?

New owner is VERY homophobic !

We have been going to Santa Fe for 30 years and ALWAYS went here to dine and to their piano bar. We ALWAYS had a grand time. Sadly, they now have a new owner who is homophobic and now has run off their gay customers who spend BIG BUCKS there. In a beautiful, EXTREMELY GAY FRIENDLY CITY LIKE SANTA FE, they certainly do not need any business like this. Stay away and spend your gay dollars at the many other places in Santa Fe who appreciate EVERYBODY !

It was okay!

Since we travel so much, we have learned not to expect much in some States. If your new in town, and friendly! and start talking to people, then people will talk to you. Not that many bars in this big city so you HAVE to start conversations. Bartenders are not that friendly unless you make the first step and talk to them first.

You'll like this place!

As we travel around the country, we are amazed at the different liquor laws that different States have. You have to be a member to get into this bar, but hey! go with the flow and do what you have to do. Just be SURE and tell them you are from out of town and they will treat you nice. Great staff and people there are very friendly.

Great HOT bodies and some other ones also!

The best way to find this beach is to ask a bartender or anyone at a bar, or go to their website. It's all about nudity and there is plenty of it there. As in all cases, just beware.

cheap drinks, good drinks and FRIENDLY !

This is how a bar is supposed to be... cheap drinks and GOOD drinks and staff is very friendly. They introduced us to almost everyone in the place.

good leather bar

Leather bars are not for everyone but this is a good one. Leather and more leather. Friendly bartenders and just walk around and cruise and you will meet a LOT of people!

Wonderful Piano Bar

enjoying piano bars as we do, we really enjoyed this bar. Friendly bartenders and customers and we LOVED the entertainment.

A REAL Leather Bar!

when your traveling, you need to always have an extra suitcase for leather, cowboy, cashmere sweater and sport coat. We put on our leather and had a great time at this bar. Back rooms are HOT! Just go with the flow and enjoy yourself. Actually it was one of the best leather bars we have been to in the last 5 years.

good strippers!

Not a bar to go to every week but for someone out of town it was a treat. They had some good strippers. Drinks were just so-so.

Good Leather Bar!

Don't wear your sports coat or cashmere sweater here, but wear either your leather or levis. This IS a leather BAR ! Only crowded late in the evening and it is what a leather bar is all about. If your not into leather, go to another bar in Boston.

Upscale and nice!

We had our sport jackets on when we went to this bar. VERY friendly bartenders and customers. We also had dinner. VERY upscale bar. We really liked it!

Fun, friendly bar!

We were there in June and had a good time. Friendly bartenders and customers were friendly. Nothing fabulous, but just a good, clean friendly bar.

VERY FRIENDLY

This is a bar for mature men. NOT for the younger crowd unless they are into a mature crowd. VERY friendly staff and customers. Just be sure and let them know you are either new in town or from out of town. EVERYONE talks to everyone in this bar. It is a small bar and the rectangular bar blends in well for people talking with each other. We had a great time there.

Just okay, but that is not good enough!

We went there twice in May. First time for happy hour and very few people there. The next day we went for lunch and we were the ONLY people there! That tells you something! Bartenders were not that friendly and they need to have the smokers stand back from the front door so that people won't choke as they enter the building. We won't return. Way too many other bars that are much nicer in the area.

Very good!

We stayed here in May of 09. Don't be fooled by their location or outside. GREAT rooms, complimentary morning breakfast is brought to your room. Parking is awful in downtown Philly, but they have a very inexpensive parking lot 1/2 block away that is very secure. Within walking distance to several of the gay bars and restaurants. We particulary enjoyed KNOCKS bar and restaurant. Just about 3 blocks from the Theatre district of town where you can see some gay Broadway plays.

Wonderful !

NOT in the downtown area and you need to drive to get here, but it was wonderful. Some of the best food we had in Oguqnuit. GREAT service. Food was just wonderful. We were a party of 4 and the service could not have been better. Owner came over to our table and chatted. Nice ambiance. Also has a bar. We certainly HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.

Wonderful VIEW !!!!!

One dines at different places for different reasons. The reason to dine here is for the VIEWS ! Located in the interesting and scenic Perkin's Cove, just a short walk from downtown Ogunquit. It sits right on the cove and water and fish and everything is right there! The fishermen bring their "hauls" almost to the door. Food is good.

Not that great!

We have to agree with the last poster. Bread was not that good. Tasted like cardboard. Staff and manager didn't even want to talk about it. Being a tourist town, guess that they think that won't be having anyone returning anyway.

Just Good plain Food!

Nothing fancy or great but just good plain food. Staff is very friendly. Food is good and very inexpensive. Can't go wrong ordering anything and it is right downtown and so easy to get to.

FABULOUSLY WONDERFUL !

This is a wonderful place to have a very special dining experience. VERY expensive? Yes! but well worth it. Everything is made fresh with fresh produce, etc. Wonderful atmosphere and grand service. Not for everyday dining but for the special events.

Great Place!

We have been going to Ogunquit for several years and the Maine Street bar is always nice. Has an outside patio section so you can people watch. Located right downtown and within walking distance to most of the gay owned B and B's and all the shopping, the gay beach and Perkins Cove.

Denny's food in a bad area.

Just a regular diner type cafe. Staff is NOT friendly and you can tell they really don't like working there. Food is bland. For late at night or VERY early in the morning and you need something to eat after drinking at the bars all night long, then it will be okay. But don't expect anything and you won't be let down.

A REAL DIVE !

We have been eating (no, not dining) here for over 30 years! The restaurant/bar is located in a crummy/crappy flea market. They are noted for their hamburgers but you can get those anywhere in town. It's just a place that used to be good but now a dump. They have not redecorated in 30 years!

Like an upscale Denny's!

An upscale restaurant just off the famous Country Club Plaza, however service is never what it should be. Big turnover of employees. Food is not presented well and they have a problem with the preparation of the food. Have dined there twice and won't return.

Hi tech and innovative!

Located in the Kemper Museum of Art (Modern). Small but the food is EXTREMELY innovative and high tech! Open basically for lunch and always a good "hip" crowd of movers and shakers. Sandwiches and soups are delicious.

Great & Unusual men's clothing!

We always shop at the GayMart in Palm Springs as well as Ft. Lauderdale. This one is located in gay haven, Wilton Manors and is open late at night, Staff is VERY friendly and accommodating. Besides clothing (and great bathing suits) they have a backroom of videos and gifts for sale.

Fabulously Wonderful Gay Beach!

Located right on the strip, this beach area attracts hundreds of gay men daily in all shapes, sizes and ages. If you are staying at one of the beach resorts, it is just a short four blocks away. They have rental chairs everyday. Straight bars right across the street. This is a great pick up sight. Lots of DARK TAN bodies here!

Smoke hits you before you walk in!

Before we even walked in the door, smoke was coming OUT of the front door! Located in a very small shopping center. Small bar. Bartenders are friendly. Never crowded.

A REAL cowboy bar!

Park across the street at the Kmart and enter to a very smokey bar! But the drinks are cheap and NOT watered down and VERY strong! Lots of cowboys dancing. For cowboys and those into cowboys, this is a fun bar. Free popcorn. A little to bright! They need to turn the lights down a lot. But, a fun bar!

GREAT AND FRIENDLY LEATHER BAR !

Go! You will love it. Back rooms and back patio are cruisy and fun! Don't be shy! Everyone is friendly, bartenders are great! Park across the street and walk over. Let your wildest dreams come true here. Dark, leathery and fun!

Going down the tubes!

We have been coming to the Alibi for the past 9 years when we go to Ft. Lauderdale. Every year it gets worse. The bar food is much worse than it used to be and the bartenders/waiters are not nearly as nice as they used to be. Staff has way too much attitude. More places to go in the Wilton Manor area.

Nice, friendly small bar

Doesn't seem to have much of a crowd but everyone there is friendly. Good bar food and cheap. Sits all by itself and not in the gay bar area but that is a good thing sometimes. NO ATTITUDE with staff or customers.

Great Music

Located right in Wilton Manor with other gay bars, it rocks on weekend nights! Always a huge crowd and great music. Parking can be a problem sometimes sincere there are so many bars right there. Friendly bartenders and very little attitude with the crowd.

You get what you get!

Different guys go to different bars for different reasons. The reason to go to this bar is for the strippers. Not the best, but if this is your thing, then GO! Drinks are expensive and it needs some up-dating but...... for those into strippers and lap dancing, then this is the place to go. On Sundays, beer is cheap and food out on the back patio.

nice selection of hot gay clothing!

For a store in the Midwest, this store has a huge selction of merchandise for sexy gay men to wear. Staff is VERY friendly.

good bar!

How nice to go someplace and just walk in and be yourself! Very friendly, very comforting, and we met lots of locals who were so friendly!

Just a good old bar

Nothing fancy,and leave your diamonds at home. Lots of regular guys talking regular talk. We have always met a lot of fun guys here.

Nice gay beach!

We have been going to Ogunquit for several years and always "hit the beach". Everything about Ogunquit is wonderful (like it much better than Ptown). A VERY walking town. Just a short walk from our gay owned B and B is the gay beach where you can meet lots of other gays. Don't miss it!

Fabulous!

It costs a lot but well worth it. We always travel as a gay couple and we were treated VERY well by all of the staff. Our room was huge and lots of amenities. Bar and restaurant was great.

VERY CLASSY BAR

NOTHING seedy about this bar. Staff/bartenders were great and friendly as were the customers. Everyone talks to everyone! Such a joy to see!

We will return to this bar!

What makes a bar great for out of towners, is to be clean, friendly (both bartenders as well as customers) and this bar certainly fits that aspect of it. LOVED this bar.

Fun, friendly and FUN!

Like most leather/levi bars, everyone here is very friendly. If your new in town, you will make friends here VERY quickly.

Staff and Music is great

This is how a bar is supposed to be! with friendly staff and their music is great.

FABULOUSLY MARVELOUS ! ! ! ! ! ! !

No trip to NYC would be complete without dining at CHEZ JOSEPHINE. The owner, Jean-Claude Baker is the best in the world... flamboyant, interesting, fun,funny and always makes you feel that you belong there. Dark lighting, romantic, and just fabulously marvelous! Great food, wonderful ambiance and Jean-Claude is THE perfect host! If you don't dine anywhere else in NYC, BE SURE dine here!

LOVED THIS BAR !

They make some of the best martinis in the entire STATE! Very friendly staff! Customers were also extra friendly.

Good friendly bar

NOT to be confused with the Town House in NYC, but we didn enjoy the piano lounge here. Very friendly people and staffis good.

Anyone for Dancing your lets off?

Doesn't get going until late at night but then it REALLY gets going! Huge dance floor with plenty of young people dancing.,

New York(ish) !

Have been here twice. Expensive? sure but you get what you pay for. For a Midwest bar, this is great! and different!

Used to be fabulously wonderful!

We have been going to the Gay 90's for many, MANY years! It used to be fabulously wonderful however there are now so many str8s that we prefer to go the other REAL gay bars in this great city

nice happy hour crowd

We came for Happy Hour and they had a good business then went back later and they had a real good crowd. Lots of friendly and interesting guys.

Great Sunday Beer Bust

We were here for one of the Sunday Beer Busts and it was packed with hot guys who wanted to party.

It can be FUN!

Like so many bars, it's all about your own attitude when you walk in the door. Not the greatest but most everyone including the bartenders are at least friendly. We had a good itme there.

Great Museum !

Whenever we visit a new city, we always try to visit most of the museums. This Dallas Museum is wonderful. Has changing exhibits.

A bar that has everything !

Karaoke, drag shows, everything! We were there 5 nights in a row and something different was happening every night.

Fun Bar with friendly people

Most of the bars in Dallas have friendly bartenders and it sure is here. Customers are very friendly as well. You are sure to meet someone here.

Dancing heaven !

Everyone goes late and stays late. Take a nap before you go. HOT dancing! and plenty of hot bods.

For Lesbians

Basically for lesbians however they welcome guys and are very friendly.

The Old Standby!

We have been going to J.R.'s for years. Always a huge crowd on weekends. Just regular guys having a great time.

Unusual!

We were interested in this bar and it is unusual. A good mixture of all kinds of people that are into anything and everything.

Levi and Leather!

What else do you need to know? For those into Leather, this is THE bar to go. VERY friendly bartenders and you NEVER know who you are going to run into.

Friendly and comfortable

When your new in town, it's always nice to go to a small bar where everyone is friendly like this one. Bartenders are very friendly. As is the case in 2009, it is mostly busy on weekends.

LOTS OF EYE CANDY

They all might not be available but there are sure a lot of hot looking dudes here, running, jogging and ?

LOTS to LOOK at!

Any afternoon it's always busy. Fun for looking or cruising.

Always Fun and busy !

Some bars like this just keeps going and going with fun customers and friendy bartenders. A place where you WILL have a good time.

Cowboys everywhere!

When your in the cowboy mood, this is the bar to go, for dancing and cruising cowboys.

Leather Bar !

If you are into Leather or appreciate leather men, then you will enjoy this bar. Always hot leather men.

We LOVE Gay Marts !

Whether your in Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Springs or Chicago, be sure and check out Gay Mart. We always fine something to buy that is unusual.

Great Gallery

Be sure and stop by this gallery when your in Chicago. Always great exhibits.

Beautiful !

If you have an extra day while visiting Atlanta stop by here and enjoy the beautiful gardens. Serene and peaceful.

Nice Neighborhood Bar!

Nothing fancy, but a nice bar with friendly customers and nice bartenders.

Too many str8's !

The problem with this bar is that are way too many str8 people coming. Bridal shower girls are flocking in. Not a gay bar as such anymore, sadly to say.

Good neighborhood bar !

Located in a shopping center, it is rather hard to find, but it is friendly and a great piano bar.

Cowboy bar

For line dancing and two-steppining or if you are just into cowboys, don't miss Charlies in Phoenix. They also have one in Denver.

Great Zoo !

For those into Zoo's, Phoenix has a great one not to miss. Lots to see and do.

Wonderful Museum

Be SURE and visit this museum when visiting Tucson. It has changing exhibits sometimes as well as the good old standbys. Always very interesting.

The Best in Tucson

"The LIZ" is the best in Tucson. Located downtown in a beautiful old estate. Owners are extremely professional. It's the ONLY place in town to say.

Never a dull moment

You never know what to expect here, but it is friendly. Drinks are cheap and bartenders are friendly.

THE Place to party in Des Moines!

We have been going to Des Moines for over 20 years and Blazing Saddles is always packed with fun and friendly people.

Great Day trip from Denver

Take a day trip from Denver and enjoy the Royal Gorge. Drive across the bridge and enjoy the beauty of the gorge and take the STEEP hike down to the bottom.

Great Old Amusement Park

Lakeside Amusement Park has been around for years. Although they got rid of some of the older parts (laughing lady), etc. it is still a great and cheap place for a date. Two guys on the roller coaster is fun.

Wonderfull Art Musuem

If your visiting Denver, BE SURE and visit their wonderful art museum. For a museum located in the middle of the US, they have some great art work. Located downtown.

Nice neighborhood bar

This has been several bars over the years but this bar has finally found it niche. Butch men are all around there. Great friendly bartenders.

Typical bar on Broadway

there are several bars in Denver and this is just one of the typical ones. Just okay.

For Cowboys

This is a bar for cowboys and those into cowboys. Always lots of dancing (two-stepping) on weekends.

NOT GREAT BUT VERY GOOD !

Simple a nice place to go to dine when you are hungry. Nothing fancy but good, decent food at a good price.

Nice food and ambiance

Good food and a nice ambiance. Right in the Castro and always good food.

Movie Theatre at it's BEST !

If for no other reason, see movie at this historical movie theatre just for the architecture! Beautiful! Besides movies they also have live performances.

Oldest and very friendly!

We always enjoy having a drink or two at Twin Peaks. Look out their huge front and side windows and watch the world go by. This is one of the first bars in San Francisco.

Wonderful Neighbor Bar

Always busy and Always friendly. Great bartenders and staff! Everyone wants to talk! Isn't that what going to a bar is about? Can't wait to return.

Always crowded and busy

Always packed in the evenings. Standing room only but a nice crowd.

Great Leather Bar

Actually this is one of the best leather bar in Callifornia. Something is ALWAYS going on there. NOT for the weak at heart!

A True Educations!

Wear some good walking shoes and enjoy the desert as you have never seen it before. You will learn so much! Be SURE and take your camera!

A wonderful scenic trip

This is a great scenic trip for anyone. Close to Palm Springs but...... straight UP! Windy and cold so take a jacket even in the summer time. Great views of the entire valley!

The BEST of the BEST !!!!!

This is "OLD PALM SPRINGS" at it's finest! Think of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack and their ghosts are all around. Mel Haber, the owner is the best! GREAT ambiance! It's been around for over 35 years in the historic Ingleside Inn. Be prepared for a REAL TREAT !!!

Chinese Cuisine at its best!

We have dined at Wang's over a dozen times and everyething is always perfect... the food, the service and the food presentation.

Fine Dining

Yep, it's expensive but it great food, great service and great ambiance. And they make the best "Sex on the Beach" drinks in the country!

NO GREAT BUT GOOD

Always good food and service at a good price.

And we do SKIP IT !

Everyone can't like everyplace. We have dined here twice and it was bad both times.

Hot bodies and fun

As with most bars, weekends are the time to hit this bar. Most bars in the city are huddled right around the HABANA INN complex.

Neighborhood Bar

Yep,it's kinda of a dive but everyone there is so friendly! If your a new face in town, whatever your age, you WILL have a good time!

A neighborhood bar

Lots of very friendly guys at this fun bar. Always busy day and night.

Weekends are HOT!

Always packed on weekends with lots of tourists from out of town and out of State.

Great Cowbar Bar!

This bar ROCKS on weekends with REAL cowboys doing the two step. Always a big crowd!

A great museum

ALL art museums are great, but this one is truly OUTSTANDING !

Great Balley Company

Even if your are not into Balley, you really need to see the New York City Ballet Company. Great dancing and choreography?

Modern Art at it's best!

For those into Modern Art, it just doesn't get any better than the Moma! Not for everybody but you know who you are that will enjoy it!

Finest in the country!

If for no other reason, this is the reason to go to New York City! You will see more here in a day than you can see anywhere in the rest of the country in 50 years!

Attend EVERYTHING there!

Whenever they have a performance, GO!

As it should be! and was!

Even thou it has seen better days, it is still great going to the Townhouse, nice older crowd, wonderful piano bar. Real Classy!

And, take your camera!

Whether your cruising, just looking or taking photos, this is one HOT place to go for good looking bodies.

NOT the NY Metropolitan but great!

NO trip to the Los Angeles area would be complete with a visit to the Getty. They also have a wonderful restaurant. GO !!!!!

Go visit this Pier!

Lots of sand, water and hot bodies! Beautiful views and food. Take off your shoes and socks and walk in the sand. Great for any reason!

Another "MUST SEE" for tourists!

Although this is a Jewish Museum, there are sections for Afro-Americans as well as for gays and lesbians. Very emotional to see but a "must see"

A MUST for tourists!

For anyone going to L.A. the first time, the Kodak Theatre is a "must-see". Located right in the heart of Hollywood. Some people might see the area as a zoo, but it IS interesting.

Good bar

You walk in, be yourself and the world is yours! VERY friendly bartenders/staff as well as customers.

Great "Neighborhood" Bar

Just a regular bar which is so nice after being to some of the others bars in the West Hollywood area. Cheap drinks and extremeley friendsly.

Great for the Leather crowd

For those visiting the L.A. area who are into Leather or enjoy Leather men, this is THE place to go!

Wonderful

As in most towns you need to have a starting off place and the Abbey is it. Great food, nice service and plenty go people to look at.

Just average!

This is just an average restaurant in a town where dining needs to be Fabulously wonderful. Just regular fare and service is not all that great.

Nice, Clean and Safe Area

Walking distance to everywhere in West Hollywood. Nice, clean and safe area. Rooms are okay. Not the Ritz but okay. We have stayed here several times.

Stay Someplace Else

And, if you don't believe us, go to: www.tripadvisor.com and read all the others who don't like it!

Skip It!

We have never stayed at the Blue Moon but did take a tour of it. More like a dirty and messy bathouse than someplace you would want to stay. Can't recommend staying.

Used to be a cowboy bar

A few years ago, this was a great cowboy bar but as is the case with so many bars, the cowboys have moved on to "greener pastures" On weekends it is still busy.

Wonderful Accommodations for Boston

This is a wonderful place to stay while visiting Boston. Located in a VERY safe part of the city, with nice clean rooms, a super friendly staff/owners and within walking distance to many places and just 1/2 block from all public transportation. Nice continental breakfast in the morning including coffee, tea, pastries, fruit and breakfast cereal. Has a real nice clientele staying. While here, we got to meet several of the other guests. Lots of restaurants/bars/shopping/grocery stores within a couple of blocks. We HIGHLY recommend staying there to everybody visiting Boston.

Wonderful Place for drinks!

Glad to finally find a bar that is NOT a dump! This is a very upscale bar with friendly bartenders and a good friendly crowd. Also has a great restaurant within it. Wonderful happy hour crowd that extends thru the entire evening. Anybody visiting Philadelphia certainly needs to put this on their list of places to go first!

THE BEST PLACE TO STAY IN PHILADELPHIA !

This has to be the best place to stay when visiting Philadelphia. The public transportation stops right next door to the Bed and Breakfast. Takes you right downtown to the gay bars in 20 minutes. The B & B is run extremely professionally. Great rooms with antiques and a super full gourmet breakfast. The owners are very professional and are on top of everything. Lovely neighborhood and shopping very close by. We recommend this Bed and Breakfast very highly for anyone staying in Philadelphia. And the grounds are lush with plenty of flowers. Really a very desirable place to stay. Also close to the Art Museums. Rooms, beds and everything is top shape. We would never want to stay anyplace else in Philadelphia. The owners Warren and Don KNOW what to do to keep their guests returning year after year after year.

BEST IN ST. LOUIS!

Great Bed and Breakfast. Wonderful breakfast, lovely rooms. Owners are extremely hospitable and friendly. Nice location just 1/2 block off Jackson Square. Close to bars, restaurants and shopping. We have met some lovely guests there that have turned out to be great friends. Just a VERY NICE PLACE !

AVOID THIS DUMP

We have been going to the Habana inn since the early 1980's. We were there last week and it has gone downhill so bad. TV did not work. Internet WIFI service had a note NOT to get on as you would get a VIRUS. The wood on the back of the door was coming off and badly stained carpets. This IS 2015 and smokers everywhere and even some of the bartenders smoke ! It used to be great but sadly it has gone downhill so much, they don't get the business that they used to. Really sad but. We would not suggest anyone stay at the Habana. While we were there we talked with several guests and they will never return.

BEST IN SANTA FE !!!!!

This B and B is simply WONDERFUL! Within walking distance to downtown (Plaza) and restaurants and shopping. Owners and staff are way beyond the best! Huge interesting rooms. Vast grounds! We didn't want to leave! We know many quests that have returned many times. Simply the BEST in Santa Fe!

PERFECT PLACE TO STAY IN CASTRO

WOW! When going to San Francisco, be SURE and stay here. They also have another property, 24 Henry" a few blocks away, but the Village House is just 1/2 block from Castro. Nice clean rooms. City transportation that takes you all over is just one block away. Very friendly staff! Large community room with magazines, newspapers,etc. and computer. Met lots of other guests from all over the country.

BEST IN SEATTLE !

Located in a residential area, close to bars, restaurants and shopping. City bus comes by all the time to take you downtown. Wonderfully large rooms, owner is extremely friendly and hospitable. Would certainly recommend this to anyone going to Seatle. Also has a swimming pool. Nice and quiet.

BEST IN PHOENIX !

Wonderful gay accommodations in Phoenix. Really a small resort with a Bed and Breakfast feel. Owners are super friendly and hospitable. Nice large updated rooms. The new owner has really made this place super. We highly suggest it to anyone staying in Phoenix. Located in a quiet residential area and close to bars, restaurants and shopping.

WONDERFUL "NEW ENGLAND-ISH"

When in Palm Springs or Ft. Lauderdale we enjoy staying in a nice gay resort however in Ogunquit we love staying at the Moon Over Maine Bed and Breakfast. Owner is super friendly and you would think that any moment that Jessica Fletcher from "Murder She Wrote" will be the next person coming down the stairs. Great location just one block from downtown and ocean. Nice large rooms. A VERY cozy and friendly place to stay.
