A nice place with cheap drinks.

We visit San Antonio often, and we always end up at this bar. The bar has an interesting mix of people and the dancers are always in interesting mix, but the big draw is always the cheap drinks. You can't beat their drink prices.

Nice bar

Apparently their are only four bars left in Austin. On a recent weekend visit to meet a friend from out of town, we visited this bar twice. The drinks are not too expensive and the bar staff is friendly and helpful. Our fist visit was a Friday afternoon and the crowd was a healthy mix of types. We returned Saturday night for "80's night" and though a bit more crowded the crowd was definitely slanted toward the bears more than the leather. It was a nice, friendly and welcoming atmosphere as most things bearish tend to be, and we would definitely return.

No other place to stay.

This was our second stay at the Carpe Diem and it is truely a remarkable, top notch Inn. If you want upscale accomodations, exceptional service, fantastic breakfasts and a great spa then this is the place for you. Ranier, Jurgen and Hans go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and to meet your needs- reservations, spa appts. etc. The spa deck is clothing optional in the true European fashion and wine hour turned into social hour where we met great people and made great friends.

Best Nights for Purgatory.

We did not find this place nearly as seedy as some reviewers have suggested. I would recommend hitting this bar on Saturday and Sunday nights. Saturday is the underwear party, which every one I spoke with including my travel companions said "I just don't think I can do this", and then afterward said, "I had SO much fun, I wish every night was underwear night". Sunday night is leather night and seems to be the best attended of all the leather clubs. The music was bit too "ciruit" for us, but there were quite a few hawt men in attendance.
