Love In Bloom

Went to a bar; I guess it's the "official hangout" for older gays mentoring the younger ones on the art of alcoholism. Decided to check if they had non-alcoholic beer, and was met with a combo of snark and rudeness - all cash-only, mind you. Oh, and no Red Bull unless it's part of a mixed drink! How very specific! The bartender seemed to oscillate between sarcastic compliments and sheer rudeness - all with a menacing glare. Perhaps my simple Oktoberfest-inspired attire was too much? Or maybe he was just jealous of the youthful joy we radiated.Here’s where it gets spicy: when my buddy innocently asked if the bartender’s name could be shortened, we got a full-blown meltdown. Random attack mode? Check. In the end, the cherry on top of a poorly mixed drink ... The bartender on staff is supposedly married to the owner, and is frequently drunk on the job. Not sure if he/she is the husband or wife. Classy!So, if you're looking to be insulted while you sip, this might just be your place. For me? I'll pass. ?

Chuck is a fantastic bartender and was so friendly to us. They have good bar food and fairly priced drinks. I will be coming here whenever I'm in town!

Watch you money patrons. I slid a $5.00 with my empty beer bottle. Never got change. Asked bartender "RICK" where it is, he said my friend bought it, I asked my friend right beside me, both of us sober, he said nah, he didn't buy me a drink. The patron beside him bought me one, already finished it though. Never got my change. Bartender avoided our seating area after that.

Neighborhood men's bar. Very casual and friendly people, drink prices are awesome. Sunday steak dinner is well worth a stop for dinner.

Relaxed, friendly local gay bar with no pretenses, patrons tend to be of the mature crowd. It is a leather bar, but nothing too scary for the faint-hearted, with a video/play area off the back patio. The owner, David, is a nice man who is welcoming and will actually come up and chat with you:). Great juke box, great food items at a reasonable price are available, including a special night for steaks. I've enjoyed my several visits there, and will be returning.
