Cold Coffee From A Warm Staff
3 Star Rating: Average

03/27/2008 Posted by parkerveruski

I have visited four times since it's opening. Each time I find it to be filled beyond capacity not with patrons but with SMOKE. The staff is friendly, the music is nice and the decor fairly modern with exposed brick wall, raised flooring on both sides of the bar and creative coloring, I would have to say that the idea was to allow gay men to meet, chat and relax. That being said, the music is too loud to talk over without shouting. The coffee is almost always cold or luke warm, the drinks could be a bit lower in price and the restrooms being open for 'viewing' by anyone pissing is tasteless and insulting in my opinion. Make those changes and you have a good quality local gay-hot-spot.

Pros: Warm decor, friendly staff, good music/DJ

Cons: Cold coffee, open bathroom stalls, smoke filled until 2009.

Be sure to check out the bar's Halloween party, rumored to be one of the liveliest in town. There are also several other raucous events thrown throughout the year.
