Very small...
this place is a little too brightly lit.I want to chill out and relax I'm not shopping at Best Buy.People bring there dogs...woof!
Super fun!!!
I had a blast!!!!
Friendly...
People in Memphis are very friendly but don't expect a lot of people.I was here on 2 separate nights and it was pretty dead .
Cool
Nice sized place.decent looking guys.....
Cool
located above the Wood st. subway st station .During the Arts Festival(mid-June) they always have very cool exhibits.
Awesome!!!!
Even if you're not a Warhol fan it's worth a visit.At the time it opened it was the largest museum dedicated to a single artist.
Always a festive time
This is one of the few niteclubs that I've been to that's always a good time.The space was once a movie theater.
Decent space...
I went here with some friends,they had a video wall with very loud music.
You should know......
I haven't been here in about 10 years but i hear it's not much better than it was then.A Sleazy Dive!
Interesting place...
Not a bad bar,was kinda empty when I was there.I was told that the neighborhood was dicey and that this place had a bad rep but I always checkout stuff for myself.It was a tiny adventure.
No PEEPS!
I stayed in the guest house above this bar.so I was at the patio bar every day. met a few cool people there but for the most part this place along with all the other bars I went too(Kwest,801,Bobbys) were empty.I mean the whole time I was in Key West it was like this.maybe because I was in bed most night before 2am but still.I was expecting crowds of fairly good looking men but for the most part the crowds were below average...somewhat of a diaapointment.
EVEN 10 dollars is too much ......
We were not going to pay the 20 tourist cover charge,So the doorman let us in for 10,but this place is hardly worth it.It's very small with average decor.The music is far to loud.
Bar Complex..?
Bolt Video / Bolt Underground / Minnesota Eagle Are all the same place but they bill it as three separate bars.Fun place with mixed ages.
The place for young folks...
This is where the younger crowd goes for the most part it's ok...The place gets full of annoying straight girls that spill their drinks on you I had to shoo some away.
Not as Bad As all that......
Yes this place is run down and a little ghetto but the crowd is very interesting and very diverse.The drag shows are very good.I love the back bar on the first floor you have to go through the men's room to access it.it'scool sleazy fun.
Cool Place
Very nice bar. Nice crowd. Had no problem getting drinks or food... Recommended.
Had a good time...
The night I was here the were very hot and friendly strippers...I had a gereat time...
Nice place
Was here on Friday night nice mix of people check it out
LAME
Bad Feng shui..this place has an akward layout.We were there on a friday night the crowd was sparse and uninteresting..I was told by some locals that this place will be torn down soon so check before you go..that is if you even want to....
Zzzzzz
We went her twice..the 1st time was in the afternoon..the bartenderd was cute but prefeered playing pool than tending to customers,meet some nice people though.The 2nd time was Friday evening at midnight,the 3$ cover is absurd,there is NO DJ,NO Dance floor,NO dancers and NO complimentary drink.this is a small neighborhood bar NOW!..also BEWARE no matter how old your are Bring ID I was carded everywhere I went and Note that last call is at 1:30 and even though the bars close at 2am we couldn't get served at 1:45.they are very strict in WA about their drinking laws....
Good times
Kind of a dive...but my friend acidentally dropped a 20 on the floor.and the bartender made sure he got it back...very honest people...WOW!!..fun crowd,cheap drinks....
I love this place
I'm mainly writing this to counter the negative comments.I've always had a great time here and it's definately best if your a litte tipsy.I will agree that the staff is somewhat curt but I find this true of most gay places.Someone commented that they'd rather go to Jitters (an after-hours speakeasy) I've encountered far ruder people there than at H.O.T. I mean just getting past Nancy (the owner) can be rought she's like a troll guarding a bridge.and you pay 10 bucks for every visit.H.O.T wavied their cover a while ago If you pay at the door thats for a year membership.In the last 7 years I've never paid to get in.
BEST BAR!!!!!!!
This was one of my favorite places back in the 1990's.I moved away for 10 years.When I moved back this place had gone way down hill,but thanks to the new owners and a signifigant amount of renovations this place is hot once again....Check it out.
Dump
We walked into this place stood in the doorway took a gander and walked out...truely horrifying....
I was soooooo drunk ...
Small crowded bar....San Antonio..has the rudest most uninteresting gay scene....this place is so nondescript as to not exsist in our dimention..
Nice...
I was there in the afternoon...the people were friendly and the bar tender was sweet...
Interesting
The front of this bar opens up to the street...the crowed is all of the same ilk 40 something and they all know each other...I couldn't strike up a conversation with anybody..it's a little creepy.. people in California don't realize there is a world outside of California....
Not friendly...
Boring place not friendly...warm beer.....go around the corner to Bacchus...
Dull....
I sat in here all night waiting for mister right...talked to some drag queens who thought they were leathermen...the evenings high light was a man who told me I was very attactive but he didn't do one night stands....WTF ...people
Nice place for after work drinks
This places has been completely remodeled with an upscale neo-western theme.Since it's reopening it has become a popular hangout for the downtown set..Check it out.
OK
This is most likely the nicest bar in town but the decor is out dated expose brick and the like..you would think in a town as super trendy as Austin the Gay bars would reflect that....but no almost all the bars have dirty basement floors and little or no innovation.....
Whatever!!!
I travel to Austin frequently to visit friends and I've never been that impressed by any of the bars.You would assume in a city of some 700,000 people,and a metropolitan area of over 1.5 million there would be more bars with more variety.but there are only about 6 or 7 at any one time.Rain is newer and touts itself as an upscale place but like all the other bars it's not. It's an old warehouse with a cement floor and crummy bathrooms.while I'll admit that the bartenders in the front bar are cute and pleasant..the majority of the patron are pretentious and snobby.as with a lot of people in Austin.Personally I recommend About Time or Charlie's though the locals will decry these places as dives when in reality Rain and Oil can harry's are not much better they just get the crowds hence they are the places to go. Please get over yourself a bar is a bar in this town..And oh yeah Im not waiting in any line to get into this place...WTF they think it's F*#king studio 54...god help me....
Yawn
New bar in town.Nice and clean.When I was there with a friend there was one other guy there and the bartender had an attitude,but despite this I'd be willing to give it another chance.
NO MORE
FORGET IT EVERY TIME I GO HERE I GET INSULTED BY THE SNOBBY PEOPLE THAT THINK THIS PLACE IS SPECIAL.
Nice Place
This Bar,along with several others in the city have gotten a much needed face lift.Fridays are most crowded with a youngish preppy crowd. If your in the neighborhood I recommend checking out the nifty restrooms and friendly staff.
