3 and a half, really
My first experience at BS West was at a GLAAD event with my lady friend from outta state to experience gay Snobbsdale...for charity!! And booze!
It was really hard to find this place and we just opted for 5 buck valet service rather than dealing with the headache of parking on a Friday night in Scottsdale. We had to wander around some guys in tuxes playing classical music outside some chi chi restaurant (?) before finally finding BS West. Since I had paid for our membership to GLAAD, we got to go upstairs and start boozin. Absolut drinks FREE-all right! I even got some nifty Absolut rainbow sweat bands (sweeeet for tennis!) and I liked the bartenders a lot. Unfortunately there were like NO ladies...or they were straight. Snark. We still had a great time, and I had to go to Mickeys Hangover near by to eat something, that is how much free booze I consumed.
Other times I have been here has been on Wednesdays-omg, the pheremones here are lavish. Oozing with testorone and doin' it juice. And of course...no ladies who like ladies. Well, maybe one lady couple. Out of a thousand gay guys. Sigh. But it was 2-4-1 night and I got rightly hammered. The bartenders here are super nice and never felt ignored-although you might get quicker service upstairs if you can manage the stairs. I dance, even though the dance floor isn't always jumping-I mean Fergie remix? I am there, ready to hump an unsuspecting male with a faux hawk! There is a smoking courtyard where it seems some hookups occur with ravishing frequency-jinkies! Who knew Marlboro reds incurred such ravenous carnal desires?
Overall, a good time with friends with hardly any for the gay lady in your life...unless you spend that 35 bucks on GLAAD and get free booze at any GLAAD event (YAY! BOOZE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE)...
