    worth a visit

    Good sized bar with friendly bartenders. Pool table, dart boards, jukebox, TVs and video machines. Patio is large but has a lot of dead space. Atmosphere was laid back the Thursday night I visited with a nice looking (but tame) crowd.

    cozy but friendly

    Unassuming, small neighborhood bar. TVs, video screens, decent sized patio. Nothing special about this place, but the atmosphere is laid back and welcoming. And the bartender was an A+ the night I was there.

    Cozy, unique WV bar

    Friendly bartenders in this little spot in WV. For a city this size, I couldn't imagine things much better. Well Rum definitely had a very bad taste, guess that is why I ordered up after that. Crowd was interesting to say the least, but I met some nice guys on the weeknight I was in town.

    great crowd of guys even on a Thursday

    Very small bar but with a great, sexy clientele. (no twinks) This is the bar to meet attractive, real men it seems. Not very busy on the Thurs night I was in town, but the limited space made it feel busier and was conducive to cruising. Definitely recommended.

    Laidback neighborhood spot

    Service was friendly and the mixed crowd was laidback and unpretentious on the Thursday night I was in town. Would definitely feel comfortable hanging out there again. Not huge and nothing special about this place, but solid friendly spot for St. Louis.

    happening spot with good food

    Ate here in August and had a very good experience. Pizza was excellent. Service at the bar was very friendly, attentive and professional. Seemed to be a very popular spot all around. Nice mix of straight and gay crowd in the place. Would definitely recommend.

    very low key

    This small bar feels the most inviting and laid back. If I were traveling alone to NYC, I would start here just to unwind. Friendly crowd of average joes. Great space just to make a new friend. Highly recommended if you are not looking to impress anyone- just drink and chat.

    This three level bar has many areas to enjoy your beer or enjoy your friends. Excellent layout for cruising. Crowd was mixed, but just about anyone could feel comfortable here. Witnessed some great action the night I was there. Just wish I would have checked it out sooner!

    always a fun time

    Bartenders will take care of you at this joint. Feels the most intimate of local bars. Cabaret here is excellent. Nice patio area as well. Upstairs has video screens and 2nd bar. This small place can get PACKED, but it will always put a smile on your face.

    This institution always seems to have something going on. Crowd has gotten sexier than I remember. Service can take awhile if it's a busy night. But fun times to be had. If you are visiting, buy a Stonewall Inn Tshirt to show your pride.

    This historical bar is just a neighborhood dive, but is well worth checking out if you want a lowkey place to unwind. Crowd is older and mostly regulars. Only wish I could have sampled a burger with my draft beer.

    This is a great place. The bartenders are friendly, the mix of crowd is excellent. The layout/design of the place is cool. Downstairs is also great when open. My favorite NYC bar. Boxers may have more TVs, but Gym Bar has a better vibe.

    Downtown Irish Pub with good patio space and rooftop deck. Large menu has excellent selections and very tasty food. Friendly servers and wait staff are a plus. Nothing gay about this place, though. Just a great place to grab a beer and a bite.

    decent bathhouse

    nicer of the two choices in Providence, but a bit cozier. multiple play areas (dark room, glory hole booths, steam room, sauna) Showers are not the greatest (and who wants separate shower stalls in a bathhouse?) Crowd was decent the weeknight I was there in July. I'd give it another chance if I was in the mood.

    friendly welcoming vibe

    Modest is the word here. Bartenders and patrons are friendly and unassuming. Good place to hang out. Slightly younger crowd later in the evening.


    very well kept hotel with lots of amenities

    This Sheraton is in great condition. Rooms are all well appointed and good size. Large pool is indoor/outdoor. Hot tub and Fitness Center are on the small side, but both are in good condition. Restaurant serves tasty food but a little on the pricey side. Hotel offers valet parking, but you can self park in the garage for a fee (billed to your room). Nothing overtly gay friendly about the place, but good service at a nice hotel trumps that. Great location along the Country Club Plaza with loads of shops and restaurants. Will defnitely return.

    tasty food, nice location

    Food was excellent but service was shoddy at best. Dined on a slower night. Employees were in abundance but their attitude ranged from blatantly ignoring customers to abrupt, forced friendliness- not what I'd expect with the prices / intended caliber of the restaurant. Would give it another chance, though.

    campy burger joint

    I checked this place out on a late night Thursday. Appreciated that they served food late. Service was friendly. Decor was campy and over the top, but fun. No show while we were there, but the stage looked small and difficult to see from most places. I would return again.

    Inviting welcome to Nashville

    I stayed at this nice location, near downtown a few weeks ago. Rooms are well designed with large bathrooms and well kept amenities- pool, hot tub, fitness center, breakfast area. Bonus was that I was welcomed to the city in the best way possible by a friendly hotel clerk. Highly reccommended and plan to return.

    Good neighborhood bar. Friendly bartenders, decent crowd here usually. Sometimes more of a happy hour crowd. Definitely is easy to find some drunk patrons here from time to time. Hands down the best patio in Columbus. (even if there is no view)

    this place is in desperate need of a remodel! decent crowd when i was there on a weeknight. but steam room out of order and the shower area looked so disgusting i opted out of rinsing off. would not reccomend, unless u were meeting someone there.
