Ok, I suppose I was reading into the name of this bar a tad too literally but I honestly I had been expecting icicles, maybe some burly bear-types, maybe some faux fur loin cloth action. Clearly, it's not that kind of place. \n\nActually, I don't know why it is called ICEpics. It should be called Ass Pics due to the slideshow of cheeks rolling on the screens between videos. The only ice I saw graced the neck of the gorgeous host of Thursday night's regular Best Ass contest. She was a beautiful man, and I really wished Ru Paul had been there to sing \"Gentlemen! Start Your Engines!\"...the theme song from Drag Race. \n\nBack to the bar...too bright? huh? lay off the crackpipe or keep your shades on, there is no lighting issue...maybe a touch too much neon but basically it's a dark man hole. A SEXY man hole. And some thought the crowd was overly friendly to the point of aggressiveness? Well, men aren't exactly subtle in any situation but the crowd last night was great, including the bar tenders. FRIENDLY, yes. If you're hot, someone will probably say something. It's all fun, what's the BFD? Ass Contestant #1, a total sweetheart, stopped by our table to chat, the Hostess invited me and my lady friends to enter the contest, reassuring us that a penis was not required. I appreciated that. Then she complimented my hair and said she had a wig just like it and almost wore it that night! I really appreciated that.\n\n1 star off because the draft beer options were eehhh, and I only saw about four women in the bar all night. Yeha, it was a sausage fest, but I never felt like I did not belong there. Whatevers.\n\nOh, and Thursday is an underwear party, so if you're brave, take off your pants and enjoy $1 drinks! We drank a lot (of STRONG drinks), we voted on Best Ass, we sang along with a diverse collection of music videos, frequented the nice, clean bathrooms...it was good times!\n\nI can't wait to go again for the happy hour and Sunday showtunes. Ass, ass, baby! I'm a fan so far."^^ . "5"^^ . .
