Has the paradigm changed for gay bars?

[Bowyn Aerrow]

IDK... I tend to prefer to go to straight bars so I can do my serious business without dealing with guys trying to pick up on me... Really gay bars are not a place for serious drinking.

And the three 'gay' bars here are not good to judge any trends.

The original Gay bar (The Bull) is still here, been here for about 25 years.

The "Kids bar" which is aimed at the 20 something crowd and strives to be an exclusive big city club (good luck with that) is a couple three years old and has struggled to remain open since day one. Perhaps they should drop the cover charge and the velvet rope routine?

Then the Tiki-lounge, which is passed off as a 'gay bar' actually has many more straight people there than gay people.....

If I recall correctly my last two visits to the Bull I wasn't prevented from getting large amounts of alcohol into my body by guys stopping to ask me personal questions (like 'what's your name?') as often.... I can barely recall the dance floor and how crowded it was... Didn't stop on my way to the bar proper and my way to the door to look or count heads - I had business with Mr. Johnny Walker to attend too.


so there may be a trend going on......
