This is my go-to gay bar in town. Some others are good also, but at Flex they have some of best bartenders around. Usually super quick with service and drinks are usually heavy pours at cheap prices. Depending on what you're looking for in a gay bar, Flex probably has a night for it. Special events, karaoke, drag shows, bear nights, they will have it. Check website for calendar. Best thing about Flex in my opinion, seems all are welcome and crowd is not clique-ish. Never seen anyone ever given a hard time. And while the bar is in a slightly questionable area, I've never had any issue inside or outside. And the manager and bartenders are quick to shut anybody down coming in there looking to cause trouble. Of those reviews saying it was slow when they visited, they might have been there early. After 11pm on weekends at least it is usually busy, and on special nights packed.
