It is a "gay bar" in every sense of the word.  I am a gay man.  I prefer to see the end of "gay bars".  I like "bars" where everyone can relax and be themselves and not feel intimidated.  In this bar, I am intimidated more than a "non-gay" bar.  The prices are exploitative of the culture they claim to "serve".  If you are gay and have money to throw away on a drink you could get somewhere else in a more relaxed environment at half the price with nicer more accepting people help yourself.  If you are gay and single and looking to meet someone THIS IS NOT THE PLACE.  DO NOT go to this bar alone.  You will be ignored except for the regulars gawking at you and talking to their friends behind their hand.  Possibly THE REASON gay bars should NOT exist is THIS BAR.  Shameful.

I’d like the manager to answer these following questions. Do I have to be American citizen to be treated with respect from the personnel of this place? Do I have to be a specific race to have a nice moment at this bar? I actually thought we are humans and that’s the only thing we need to deserve to be treated respectfully. The two bartenders in charge, one of them MARTIN LUNA were acting in a very racist and disrespectful way, saying very bad words and denigrating the fact that I’m from a Latin Country. Grabbing my drink (even when I already paid for it) from my hand with a very rude way and throwing it away just because he wanted to. These guys don’t know the meaning of Human. No one deserves to be treated in that way they did to me and my friend who was offended for being gay (even when this place is a recognized gay place). I don’t think you guys can be in front of this position where people go just to have a nice moment with friends and ended up being treated really bad by drunk and disrespectful bartenders.

The worst place I have ever been in my whole life. I went here two nights in one week. The first night, the customers in the bar were aggressive and bitter. One would not take his hands off me. Literally, every 30 seconds I was getting grabbed. Then a friend I was there with was backed into a corner where three guys were yelling about how he might be young and cute now but he will get old fat and bald. Unreal. We came back a few nights later against our better judgement (we did not know of another place open late). The second night, we walked outside and a man whom had his ear sliced in half and his throat cut told us he had just been mugged. We called 911 and helped him the best we could as he was bleeding terribly. After police/ambulance arrived, we walked down the block to catch a cab and another man approached us and told us he had just been mugged here last week! You'll either get attacked in the place our just out of it's doors.

The outdoor patio is where you can bring your dog to have a meal with you. They'll even make a dish of yogurt for your furry friend. Service is acceptable and the food is decent. My reason to return is the patio.
