45.

HORRID BAR
If you like the typical gay bars with NOTHING impressive at all, this is the place you will want to waste your time. If you are looking for something non-typical...don't waste the time...dive bar from hell with horrid techno...not one attractive person to be found!

Been many years since I went out but...
Very good bar...great staff...great Friday afternoons for Happy Hour...Nice people there...enough Eye Candy if you are looking for it. One of the prettiest drag queens in the US makes the Saddle her home and it's all just a good environment!
