About this place Trunks

Trunks is a gay bar on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood's Rainbow District, open since the 1980s and one of the strip's old-timers. It is a dive-ish neighbourhood bar rather than a club: TVs showing sports and music videos, a pool table and relatively cheap drinks for WeHo. The crowd is mostly gay men, a mix of locals and visitors. Google reviews average 4.4. It fills up from early evening, with happy hour and weekends the busiest. It is a good first or last stop on a night out, since the bigger clubs and bars along the boulevard are only a few minutes' walk away.

We always have a good time but last night, one bartender was very rude and extremely disrespectful when we asked for water. He didn't even want to hand us a straw and a bar back ended up helping us. We have no idea what his problem was but it was unnecessary. Luckily the other bartenders were attentive and the music was good as always
