The Name Says It All!

gay classic

love the old time of this place, like i'd been transported back to the 70s. since i was only a teenager back then, it's fun to see what it might have been like had i the guts to come out a little earlier :-) nowadays i force my non-gay friends to stop in with me for a drink after work. after overcoming their shyness, they end of loving the totally unpretentious feeling and the attention they always end up getting from the rather, well, outgoing regulars

Not The Old Hole

I must say that the owners went overboard with the stained glass window in front. How many gay bars have stained glass? The new Hole would work much better if they found a way to deaden the noise -- it sounds like a high school gym in there -- and made it cozy. Inside it looks way too industrial. Fix those two problems and the new Hole will be a winner. The crowd is good, the drinks are good, the bartenders friendly.

Did you expect the f'ing Ritz w/this name?

This is my favorite bar in the city. The greatest mix of net nerds and naked bears. One cigar munching monster (naked) was staring me down and said "What are YOU looking at?" I said "You, handsome." Peace reigned.
