It's dark, and downright awkward at times (rare, but if you get stuck talking to one of the few quite drugged out patrons). The parking lot is small. There is a small bench outside with people usually smoking and chatting about. Half of the crowd is really cool. Mainly gay, but some straight people, too. There are transvestites, some businessmen, some crackheads, and some really fun and hilarious people. You never know what you are going to get! There is a large bar, some really old tables with stools, a jukebox, digital bar game, a dartboard, pool, etc. This bar actually has 2 sides, but unless it's a weekend or a drag show night, you only get to see one side. The other side has some creepy clown-like decorations and a stage, as well as another bar. They have karaoke sometimes, too and I highly recommend this. It's a HOOT! There is also a pole in the center. ;) \nThe service is usually really good (Gary and \"mother\" are a lot of fun) and the drinks averagely priced. Sometimes I'm a little scared of the glass cleanliness. The bathrooms are horrendous. I actually cleaned one when I was super drunk one night because I couldn't take it anymore! \nI do think this is a big staple bar of the LGBT community and everyone can have a blast here. Just don't set your hopes too high. Expect an eclectic crowd and go in with an open mind."^^ . . . "2"^^ . "4"^^ .
