Chain Drive

Not much to it! A bear hang out, great friendly service and men playing pool. Old school leather bar; dark and dingy! They way leather bars were back in the day. Not for the Martini crowd!

Some guy online told me he looked like Jerry Garcia and when I met him at the bar he was well lets say not so hot. He made your bar look dumpy but the music was great from what I heard. I wish he would leave there to make your place more presentable. But otherwise great bar and yes they are my skid marks thanks to Bradley.

have gone here for about three years.coming from a small town, we don't have much of a gay scene. i have met some great friends up here and enjoy just visiting them. very relaxing,great people,no dress code,tiny cover charge compared to other places i've been in austin. i like it even though it doesn't look real fancy.just a simple "meet your friends for a drink"kind of bar.

Was here in April '08 after a long abscence and the place hadn't changed that much to me. The one patio where all the cruising used to take place was well lit, and had lots of people looking for action - but nothing happening! The other patio is open and really nice to sit down and chat with friends. The drinks were reasonable, but a cover on the weekends for this place seems a bit over the top for what you get once inside.

If this passes for a leather bar for you, that's a little sad statement about Austin. This place has been gonna close any day now for the past 10-15 years so I won't believe that till it's actually flattened. Every couple years that rumor surfaces, and every couple years people have 25 good reasons, and some super secret I blew a city council member information about why no, this time, it's really gonna happen. It's a much nicer dump than it used to be, since the owner opened the secret back patio, although it would be even nicer if all the furniture out there weren't broken. They have awesome music, due in no small measure to the talents of the DJ.
