Spike

The best of everything!

This bar is a true institution in the cities; always the best dance music, friendliest staff, the most diverse crowd around(something for everybody) and has always proudly supported the local gay community. Lot's of weekly theme nights; goth to salsa nights and has the best gay strippers on the weekends. Just added a gigantic enclosed patio to accomodate smokers. A fun safe atmosphere for groups of friends or even if you want to go solo-you will always feel comfortable and welcomed!

Owners-Management NOT gay friendly!

Though the name says "Gay"-it's heyday has passed and this place is over-run by a very mixed crowd of bridal parties, druggies, drunks and just plain scary straight folks! The management does nothing to protect you and has been know to tell gay clientelle "we don't need your business". Staff tends to follow managements lead and is rude and often uncaring about the customer. It's too bad as this was once the jewel in the cities gay bars(70s-80s). So if you plan to visit this dive, just be careful!

Friendly Neighborhood Bar-with BAD music

Great little spot with affordable drinkage, 3 pool tables, electronic dartboards and a covered patio for the smokers. Too bad the jukebox SUCKS! That is unless you're stuck in past and love to hear nothing but 80's durge and endless Cher songs-YUK!! Other than the dated/DULL & ANNOYING jukebox the place is super friendly & attracts folks of all kinds-daddies, punks, preppies, artists, cubs...never the same.
