I take it you meant G-A-Y as in the club... what IS it like there... atmosphere, music, dress codes, drink prices.... etc. Still never been there or Heaven or anywhere else 'on the scene' as it goes.
G-A-Y has three venues in London, the first for the younger generation G-A-Y Bar on old compton street which ironically I did not visit first. I don't like it, it has a horrible sound system that screeches and as for the people there, they are all gay and they are "not judging anyone"
this bar is meant to be an induction for newly out guys etc but I visited it last of the three and found it the worst to be introduced to the gay scene in.
G-A-Y Late at Goslett Yard is a later version of bar which is mainly for the older generation and those young guys who have been out for a while and just want to dance drink and in the good old days meet new people and have fun. Alas in recent years all three venues purposes have narrowed.
G-A-Y Astoria on Charring Cross road formerly my favourite club is sleasy, I made out wih 5 guys on my first night there to give you an idea of the slease. That was when my head was naive and a lot more carefree, I wouldn't do that again. I have had other experiences in this sleasy place including going down on a guy in on the balcony in plain view of the crowd when the club was crammed full of people, the security guards and staff walked passed a few times saw us and did nothing, Astoria is somehwat of a den of inequity.
That was when I experienced the sleasy side of the gay scene.
To recap:
G-A-Y Bar - go to drink, its cheap go get wasted.
G-A-Y Late - go to get drunk and dance a bit, maybe see people you know but you will most definitely leave without meeting new people.
G-A-Y Club @ Astoria - go here if you want to drink dance and get off with someone if you are willing to let go you will go home with someone guaranteed.
Now for the cleaner side of the gay scene in London there are two venues I love but they still have their own drawbacks [this is turning into an essay but I don't care you opened a can of worms here]
Popstarz @ King's X - I love this club but for some reason it don't love me. I have been here three times and on all three times my night has been f-ed up royally, my experiences are spiked with bad memories. The club is cool and I recommend it to anyone any day over G-A-Y [my bad experiences have nothing to do witht he Club they have to do with the guy I went there with he ruinned my night he rained on my parade!!]
Heaven - I LOVE this club. It IS my favourite club, the guy mentioned above has been here and for a while it started to spike my memories but the club is too engrosing and too captivating to me to be affected by him. Dance yourself stupid from 11 until 6 in the morning get blind drunk and eat food they have a food bar as well as drinks so you can easily stake it out in this club for seven hours.
Now that JJ has secured this venue for G-A-Y Club I pray to heaven it does not go down hill. [Although Heaven is not what it once was it was once glorious and a lot bigger but it was downsized and a drug presence is visible on the big nghts but this club is worth it if you are young and want to have a good time with friends and maybe meet some new people if you feeling social.
