The gay beach.

Mole = soft in English, and the beach is full of white soft sand. It is the best beach on the island. During carnival / New years, the beach is full of gays ( 5000+ ). During other times, the gays hang out around Bar Do Deca and the nude areas of the beach. The other beaches are fun, but they are NOT that gay.

Great bar and dance club

PROS: modern interior, great main bar, decent DJ's, gay plays and musicals on some nights. Lots of good looking men. CONS: medium size dance floor OVERALL: Well worth a visit. The gay plays they put on there are of good quality. Space is an issue for the dance area, but that has more to do with limit size of bars in Chicago because of rent.

Cool chic bar

PROS:<br> 1) IT bar in town<br> 2) 20-30 somethings mainly<br> 3) Full menu<br> 4) Outdoor seating<br> 5) Strong drinks<br> <br> CONS:<br> 1) Food is just average ( dont expect high quality... just Applebees-ish )<br> <br> OVERALL: Every town has their popular established "bar". Union Station is it. While it caters to 20-30 somethings, everyone can come. The food is hit or miss, but if you dont expect anything more than Applebees you will be fine. You cant go wrong making a stop here.

Chic bar

PROS:<br> 1) Great design bar<br> 2) large outside patio<br> <br> CONS:<br> 1) small in winter <br><br> This was a great place to hang out in the summer. Large outdoor patio. Most other bars on Church St, have a very small outdoor patio for people watching. I guess the patio is great for the summer, but in the winter the inside is small.. so I have to assume it is tight.

Great neighborhood bar

PROS:<br> 1) Dance floor<br> 2) Nice front bar<br> 3) Great neighborhood bar<br> 4) Lesbian night Wednesdays<br> 5) Karoke <br><br> CONS:<br> 1) None <br><br> The title says it all.

Trashy strippers

First of all this is a strip joint, so I dont expect high standards. <br><br> If you are out on the town and want to go for a campy night out, this may be fun place to go for a few laughs, but as a lot, the dancers are kinda trashy. I do like strip clubs, but I would expect some hot beef when I go. It is sad that this place does not have any ( well they did not have any hot beef during Pride, when you would think your "A" team would be out ). It is not like Campus in Montreal or BJ's in Atlanta.

chic design Eagle

PROS:<br> 1) trendy dark bar<br> 2) scruffy clientele <br> 3) great upstairs patio<br> 4) dark area <br> CONS: 1) Limited number of people on upstairs patio. <br><br> Like other reviews have said, if you have been to an Eagle in the world, you know what this bar is like. I would say this Eagle has updated their inside to be very chic design, but it keeps it dark industrial feel. The only downside is that they can only have a limit number of people on their upstairs deck. So you can wait 15-20 min just to go upstairs. ( To be fair, Toronto has some very strict occupancy laws and this causes the Eagle, as well as other bars, look dead inside on busy nights )

Flagship gay bar of Toronto

PROS:<br> 1) Great space<br> 2) Drag shows<br> 3) Best Chest competition<br> 4) Best Butt competition<br> 5) Located right on Church <br> <br> CONS: 1) Weak mix drinks ( govenors on mix drinks ) <br><br> This bar is for everyone, but it tends to focus more on 20 / 30 somethings. They do have weak drinks, but to be fair, Toronto and Canada have govenors on their mix drink bottles, so beer is the best to drink when out... or drink mix drinks before you go out.

Great hotel one block from Paulita Ave

Nice neighborhood. Lots of restaurants near by that are gay friendly. Very safe. Rooms are modern and nice. Pretty much ground zero for Sao Paulo pride. Staff that speaks English. <br><br> 20 min walk to Oscar Freire st ( fine shops ) <br> 20 min walk to Ibirapuera ( like central park of Sao Paulo.. lots of gays running around ) <br> 15 min cab ride ( 10 min subway ) to Mercado municipal ( huge farmers market ) <br> 30 min cab ride to The Week <br> 30 - 90 min cab CGH airport ( depends on traffic ) <br> Praca Alexandre 5 min walk ( cruisy ) <br> 20 min walk to Japanese section of town ( funny huge Japanese center here where everything is Japanese.. you think you in Japan ) <br> 30min walk to Higienopolis.. center of Lebanese life in Sao Paulo <br><br> NOTE: Paulista ave is nice to walk down, but there really is not much there any more. Most stores have moved to Oscar Freire and closer to Ibiraquera. There is a mall at one end that is nice. Also Rue Augusta is home to much night life gay / straight.

The gay restaurant in Sao Paulo.

PROS: <br> <ul> <li>Middle of Paulista Ave</li> <li>Good Food</li> <li>The "IT" place for gay</li> </ul> CONS: <br> <ul> <li>Food is pricey</li> </ul> <br> There are lots of eye candy at this restaurant. People in Sao Paulo ( like most of South America ) eat late, so it can seem empty before 9pm. This is mixed restaurant, but gays are the main clients. Most of the help speaks English.

A good sex club to go to.

PROS:<br> Close to beach<br> Not run down, kept up wel<br>l Wide range of guys<br> Wifi<br> Legit & not Legit massages<br> <br><br> CONS:<br> Very tight locker room<br> You have to be in a towel before entering the place<br> Only 1 free condom given upon entrance.<br> No Free lube provided. <br><br> As sex clubs go.. this is nice and clean. It has a full bar, internet, wifi. This place is very busy from 6 - 8pm each day. After being on the beach and drinking all day, many guys come here to shower off and change into street clothes. And after showering.. they relieve some "stress". Good times.. Good times. ;-) Also many people with late flights come here to shower after a last day on the town. Then they go back to their hotel, get their luggage and go to airport. <br><br> They will give you one condom at door. Its a good idea to bring more with you before you arrive. Also no lube either. <br><br> Like most places in Brazil, you have a tab assigned to your key and you pay on your way out. DONT LOOSE your key.

The place to be if your gay in Rio

Rio has a gay neighborhood, but everyplace is gay friendly or have gay nights. So it is hard to find a gay only bar. Well To Nem Ai is one of the few in Rio that is mostly gay. It has a large outdoor seating. Seemed to be the place to meet all the other tourist. <br><br> It is a must stop on a trip to Rio.

WOW, Did they kill off all the old people?

The owners of this club did not spare any cash when creating this club. It is very large and well done. The Week is the 800 lb guerrilla for gay night life in Sao Paulo, Rio, and Florianopolis. The people who frequent this place are more like the people who would go to The White party in Miami or Palm Springs. It is definitely the club to hit when you are in Sao Paulo. It is almost you have to go to say you went. <br><br> Since in Brazil you can get into clubs at 18 ( and some clubs let people in as young as 16 ), if you are in your late 30's or older, you will be asking yourself did they just kill off all the old people in this club. I can say, I felt like a daddy out of place at this bar ( a hot daddy I might add ). My age did not seem to matter though. <br><br> The Week is not open every night. I know they are always open on Saturdays. <br><br> Some of the other criticism about The Week on gay cities is kinda right. It is full of guys with no body fat, very load music, some stand and model type of guys, and some guys who parTy. But this is really no different than any circuit party in the States. If you feel uncomfortable at circuit parties, then The Week is not for you. ( But the club is really something to see just to say you saw ). Almost everyone I meet here was friendly. <br><br> The back pool area gets "busy" late into the evening. The Week ( like many clubs in Brazil ) will give you a card when you enter. The card is used to buy drinks. You do NOT pay your bartenders when you get a drink. The bartenders swipe your card and you pay on the way out. Very efficient. NOTE: Dont loose this card!!! You will pay a huge fee and they do not let you out until the very end of the night. <br><br> Overall, The Week is worth one trip if you are in Sao Paulo.

Marge Simpson voice "ahumm" just OK

PROS:<br> 1) right at gay beach<br> 2) The Week bar takes over on holiday weekends<br> 3) When you need a place just to sleep<br> 4) Restaurant <br><br> CONS:<br> 1) 2 star. <br> 2) No AC<br> 3) Pool is a little sad <br><br> I really dont like giving a bad review, but for my tastes.. this is just a hostel. If you are young and just need a place to sleep by the beach, then it will do. There are plenty of condos & homes to rent by the Praia Mole that are much better than this place. This is the ONLY hotel at the gay beach.

WOW.. is the word that comes to mind..

The Week is a franchise from Sao Paulo. This is the "IT" place to be during Carnival , New Years, Easter. It puts most clubs in the USA to shame ( all 3 do really.. Sao Paulo, Rio, Florianopolis ). <br> The Week moves locations at times, but it is usually very near to Praia Mole. It is a HUGE dance club. There is mulit terraces. They really did this up right. They usually have DJs from around the world. One nice thing is that they dont play "trance" music until very early in the morning. They have performance dance shows on separate stages. In typical South American standard.. nothing starts until midnight and the crowd does not arrive until 1:30am. Last song is about 7-7:30am. Then usually the The Week has an after party on the beach until noon. ( So you need to change your sleeping habits or have a different "stimulus" to keep you going ). The beach bar is at the entrance of the gay beach. <br><br> The Week is pricey if you by at the door ( $75USD ). It is MUCH cheaper if you buy tickets in Sao Paulo or Rio or online before your arrival. Tickets before Jan 1 are REALLY cheep. One week before carnival, the tickets stop being sold at stores in Sao Paulo or Rio. If you are shy about dancing in your underwear, you could be nervous about going... but no one cares. The place is VERY crowded. The sweet from all the men will just cover you. Having a shirt on was too hot for me. The Week like other bars in Brazil are cashed based. You pre-pay for drink tickets and then use coupons to actually but the drinks at the bar. This keeps the lines moving quickly. <br><br> <br><br> Sum up in one word: DAMN ;-) <br><br> PROS:<br> <ul> <li>Awesome setup</li> <li>The hottest guys around.</li> <li>Pre-purchased drink coupons keep the bar lines moving very fast</li> <li>Morning beach party</li> <li>Sweat from everyone packed in</li> <li>Dark-area by lagoon</li> </ul> <br> CONS:<br> <ul> <li>Pricey entrance fee</li> <li>Not a place for the body image conscious.</li> <li>Parking can be tight if you are not staying at the beach</li> </ul>

Great Bar at the beach!

Praia Mole is the gay beach in Florianopolis and Bar do Deca is the bar / restaurant to get food and drinks from while sun bathing. <br> They have a shower to rinse yourself off. Note, you will be on display as you shower so you cannot be nude. They have live dance music and good bar food. <br> If you are feeling "frisky", all you have to do is walk to your left and the sand dunes / Rocks that separate the nude beach from the clothing beach is right there. That is where many guys release their "stress". <br> I was not there at night, so I cannot tell you about what happens then. <br><br> New Years / Carnival / Easter weekends are huge gay weekends in Florianopolis. This place is worth the visit.

When you need to find mr right now NOW

* halo dims *<br> Bathhouses and sex clubs have disappeared across the country since most people use smart phone apps, but When Grindr or Scruff wont do, you come to this place.<br><br> The Crew Club is clean and remodeled. This place's gym is really weak, but the water massage table is nice. Almost all the "action" happens upstairs. The hot factor is really hit or miss.

Everything you think an Eagle should be

This is a very big bar on 2 levels. Underwear night on Saturdays. It attracts a the leather and levi crowd. Everything you think an Eagle should be, dark and dirty. Sometimes it can be very touchy feely.. Rumor has it that the bar is closing because the area has changed from being a slum to a up can coming area of DC. So who know how long it will be around.

Great local bar. The young IT bar of DC

Every city has THE bar to go to and JR's is DC's. Its a great place to have a drink and meet folks. It can get crowded. It draws a lot of young folks.

Great dive bar. Thursdays best night

PROS:<br> Cool Dive Bar<br> Thursdays have free drinks if you shirtless.. this draws the hotties out <br> The bar is usually guys in 30s / 40s <br> CONS:<br> Location is in alley way and alley is even hard to find<br> NOTE: Address is on Green Ct, which is alley, BUT you need to be at the CVS across the street on 14th to see what looks like a loading dock is really an alley.

Multi-Level bar / club. Very nice! Especially Bear Happy Hour!

PROS:<br> 2 level bar / club.<br> Both levels are HUGE.<br> Usually a young crowd go to Town on most nights<br> Drag shows downstairs, dance club upstairs.<br> OMG!!! Bear Happy Hour in Friday's is AWESOME!!! 50% Bear 50% hot muscle fur! ( I like hot furry guys so I am bias ) Scruffy heaven!<br><br> CONS:<br> A little far from the metro station and parking can be a challenge. <br><br>

Great place for a drink.

If it is football season, when the saints score free shots for all. ( although it is not the best quality ) Great bar to hang out and have a drink. They have a pool table.

Fun dirty hole in wall..

Ok.. you dont go to this place for the look and feel. You go to this place after midnight to get some action. This is New Orleans cruise bar. I am sure if the walls could talk, there could be many great stories to be heard. If you come before midnight, not much is going on but guys having a drink. When the lights go out, I have to say the pool table sees lots of action. But the most action happens in the back room. Just a word of advice.. keep your wallet in your front pocket...

Another great stop on Bourbon

This bar is right on the corner of Bourbon St & St Ann.... the start of the gay district. They have a dance floor upstairs and they have a great balconies. This is more like your neighborhood bar. They have lots of TV's to show videos.

A place you have to hit in New Orleans

This bar is right on the corner of Bourbon St & St Ann.... the start of the gay district. They have a dance floor and they seem to have contest every night. Great upstairs balconies.

Excellent B&B

PROS: 1) Location Location Location 2) Wine socials every day 3) Sauna 4) Great staff 5) Very interesting guest 6) Breakfast CONS: 1) Light sleepers may have issues with front 2 rooms because of street cars OVERALL: You cant beat the location to the Castro at all. Much better than staying at the hotels downtown and having to pay a cab or subway to do anything. You can meet many people all over the world. Streetcars start early & if you are in the front 2 rooms you may hear them.

The name says it all

Just like the other reviews have stated.. it is like the place where time forgot. It is trapped in the 1970's. This is definitely a dive bar. In San Fran, you can be naked. This bar encourages you to be naked. Although, just like most naked places, the ones who are naked "maybe" shouldnt be and the ones that should be naked are not. If you are a nudest this it the bar for you. It just wasnt for me.

Video bar

This bar is a nice place to have a drink. The bartender Dave was very funny. The place has a feel of an old 1940 movie theater inside. The bar has a show tunes theme to it. It also attracts 40- 60 year olds. I had a good time, but wasnt my favorite place in San Fran.

Levi's bar / Cruise bar

Bartenders hot.. Some hot pardons who are there not looking to talk much, but cut to chase. Let me tell you.. not a problem at all with that. The bar attracts 30 - 50's guys generally. The vibe can change nightly.. and not every night is cruisy... BUT... the back patio has things going on a lot of the time. So if you are looking for a bar to meet and socialize.. this place is probably not it. If you are looking for Mr Right now.... there is a good chance you will find him. Oddly enough Monday nights are eh.. great.

Great Neighborhood bar.

1) Great drinks 2) Hot bartenders 3) "Friendly" patrons This bar does tend to skew older 30 - 40 types. Levi / stocky types. I had a great time every time I went in. It is definitely worth staying for a drink or 2. Oh yeah.. they pour strong too. You may just grow chest hair after drinking the drinks. ;-) NOTE: the bathroom can be a little bit "friendly" at times.

The young "IT" bar

Every town has one, and Badlands is the "IT" bar for the young.. Stand & Model crowd. It is one of the larger space bars in SF. ( Most bars in SF are small in size ) Although the bar was a lot of Stand & Model, I had a great time. The bartenders were nice and not everyone was just standing. They did talk. You have to stop to have atleast one drink on a trip to San Fran.

The young and prepie bar of Atlanta.

Every town has their young "it" bar and Blakes is it. Although bar trends young bar, all age groups are represented. Blakes has a good crowd every day of the week, but Fri, Sat, Sun are by far the busiest. Bartenders are nice and crowd is friendly. If your visiting Atlanta, Blakes has to be a stop on your trip to town. Downsides, are parking is limited and if you are a wall flower or very shy you may feel like no one will talk to you. Blakes can get pretty noisy, so you have to make an effort to meet people during the extremely busy times. You will read reviews about Blakes ( and frankly any other bar in any other town ) about how the barteners or crowd was rude or everyone was ugly.. please take with a grain of salt. A review that is too negative or almost bitchy is more a sign that the reviewer is just a negative person. When I read the reviews of Blakes, I was like did these people went to the same bar I have been to?

Edgie hipster neighborhood bar

If you are looking for no thrills decor, where guys do guy things, and hot cocky bartenders... this is the place for you. If you like you bar to have a dance floor and your men dressed up and 100% pretty, then this place is not for you. ( Very similar to Mary's Bar in Atlanta ). I will say the bar is not a big bar... more on the neighborhood bar size. It has a 60's porn retro feel.

The IT bar in Chicago

PROS: Huge bar, multilevel, guys who are easy on the eyes, strong drinks, cute bartenders. CONS: when very busy, the place can be click-ish. OVERALL: Sidetrack has to be a stop on any trip to Chicago.

Great neighborhood bar.

PROS: Very nice and open space. Bartenders are cute and crowd was nice. The back area the best spot. CONS: Jeeze.. kill the lights. It is like an interrogation lights up in the front bar. Yes having bands play is a unique touch, but all the bands I saw sucked ( 3 different nights ) and you couldnt talk to anyone next to you because the music was so loud. OVERALL: This place needs to determine what it wants to be. A cool indi concert bar, or a gay bar. I would just pass on the upstairs and go to the other bar downstairs instead.

Great place to stay for a few days

The Alcazar is the sister hotel to the Worthington and they are joined by a path way. Alcazar is quieter than the Worthington, but that is all relative. The Alcazar has a small gym and the Worthington has the hot tube. The rooms at both places are more like a 3 star hotel. The staff was excellent. They went out of there way to make sure you have a great time. The guests at the Worthington / Alcazar hotel are a little more "friendly" / "frisky" than some at the other gay hotels in the Ft Lauderdale area. ( NOTE: There is always some level "friskiness" at any gay hotel, just the Alcazar has more. ) The age group was from late 20's to 60's, there was fun for everyone. My partner and I meet a lot of people from all over the world. Anyone will have a great time here.

The more rugged bar in Raleigh

Great drinks, more rugged type, not clean and slick as Legends, but you go here to do "guy" things. NOT a place to bring women or your str8 friends for their first gay experience.

It's the bar in raleigh

Although Raleigh doesn't have a big gay community, this bar is the following: 1) the dance bar 2) the watering hole 3) the drag show bar 4) the place to be seen It's interior is far better than some bars in other big name gay cities. While every type is there, this bar is for the pretty boys.

Hipster bar in the alternative part of town

It is part video bar. Part neighborhood bar. Part hipster bar. Small bar in a cool part of town. It is probably not a place to hit if you are from out of town because it s off the beaten path, but its kakaoke night is the most fun. Since the bar is small, when it gets packed.. watch out for wondering hands ;-). If there is a downside, it is a very smoke bar ( but it is Atlanta, and we don't have the guts yet to ban it )

More of the rugged type

New bar on the south side of town. Very festive. It attracts the rugged types of guys. Thur, Fri, Sat are all good nights. Non smoking in a city full of smoke. A must to try something new

Great neighborhood levi leather bar.

The bartenders and patrons are friendly. The bar is very dark during the day, but it is a levi leather bar. It has a small dance floor that gets packed on the weekends. It is must stop on a trip to Montreal.

The trendy bar, the terrace has a great view

Great place for happy hour and the views from the top floor are awesome. They have a dance floor on the 2nd floor. Its a great bar to start or end your evening.

A must place to go during a trip to Montreal.

It is a great place to see a lot of good looking strippers. Every guy I meet was nice and personable. The stripers make their money from dances and there is no tipping when the striper is on stage. $20 a song is customary. It is worth a trip once during your vacation. NOTE: Please keep in mind this is a strip club. As with ALL strip clubs some shenanigans occur. It is what it is, but keep your wits about you and will have a great time. Some of the complaints on here are common at most strip clubs.

Not a high end spa

PROS: Big space Wide range of men cheep price CONS: Run down Hot tub is just a warm tub Very small cabins I had a great time, but the place is pretty run down. Some parts look like it hasnt been cleaned in months and the place wasnt that busy. Overall: Go there if you want to go do what you "Need" to do, but it is not a place to go to "sit" on anything, "sit" in the hot tub or anything, "sit" in the steam room. Get in.. and get out.

Great neighborhood bar and sports bar..

This bar is mainly for guys who like sports and guys in their 30's and 40's generally. The guys are more rugged to bear-ish. The food is surprisingly good ( just simple bar food not foodie quality ) They are usually busy on Friday nights, but during football season, all day Saturday and Sunday they are very busy. Parking can be an issue, but there is parking across the street at the MARTA parking lot. Sometimes the guys there can be a little overly friendly.. ;-)

Great place...

This is a great place. This is the Eagle so expect Leather and Bears. If your expecting a true hard core leather scene, this is not it. There is a dance floor, pool table, and back deck. There is lots of room to move around. It is busiest on Saturday evening after 10:30pm. Sometimes seems more like a neighborhood bar than an traditional Eagle.

It is what it is...but nothin like any where else

First things First.. It is a strip club. Things are slightly over priced, the decor is something out of a 70's disco, and yes the dancers are there for $$. If you are expecting something else... you wont have a good time. 1) The guys are HOT ( correction... smokin hot ) 2) The dances in front are great, but they are more "personable" in the VIP room. 3) Everyone is very friendly. 4) Tuesdays they have some great deals so check them out then if you are on a budget. 5) You can always have a good time here. 6) They are completely nude, unlike many of the other male strip joints in the country.

Nice place, but not like other cities

I live in town. It is ok to go to. They did remodel and they did a good job, but it can be hit or miss. Not like the scene at other bathhouses in other major gay cities.

A Must place to go to.. Even on its off nights

PROS: Great crowd. 20 to 50 yo Great music. Very fun Upstairs dark room "interesting" around 5am. CONS: Late night opening. 2am to 8am. OVERALL: The 2am is NOT a typo! BA clubs open LATE and they party until dawn. Glam is NO different. I highly suggest to get to sleep by 6pm. Wake up at 10:30pm, eat someplace good at 11pm, then go out... or just drink a lot of Red Bull. The bar's VERY packed on Thursday and Sunday. Although the BA crowd goes to RHEO on Friday and HUMAN on Saturday, Glam is still a very fun place to go to on their "off" nights.

Good place to start, and meet foreigners

1) Good drinks 2) Opens early. 10pm ( NOTE: 10pm is VERY early in BA ) 3) Crowd is usually 30+ 4) Foreigners are there early 10pm to 12:30am 5) Music is not so loud so you can talk to others. 6) You must prove you bought the drink minimum to leave the bar. 7) Open most nights of the week.
