After much deliberation, I've come the conclusion that I only liked this place because:
1. As an out-of-towner, I didn't have to drive home.
2. The Smoothie stand in the Miracle Mile shops had already fed me enough of something called "octane" to keep me drunk for the next few nights.
3. Amanda Lepore was cool enough to party there at New Years.
...and 4. because I was in a liplock with a nameless bloke for most of the night.
Needless to say, I missed Amanda's show because I was in someone's mouth. Another bummer was when I missed the countdown while trying to close my damn bar tab. Grrrr.
The bathroom is nice and clean though. The bathroom-helper-guy doesn't carry salvia, but's still pretty handy with other provisions. Overall, the place is really nice-looking. It beats the hell out of any gay-frienldly place in San Diego, but it's not quite a match for LA.
