Sorry but they was absolutely not characteristic of the bar. Full of tv with pizza advertisements. Bar staffs were more drinking than serving. For a Friday night I would expect a bit more masculinity. The drag was shooting more than anything and really make the night difficult and not enjoyable. The lay out of the bar was also not welcoming. The worst gay bar I have been
