What we say

Gay bar right in the shadow of the state capitol
This popular dance bar is the oldest gay bar in Austin and attracts a mostly male crowd of all ages and types. Come here for dancing, cruising and male dancers on the bar almost every night of the week. Newly renovated cafe is open as well. Be careful not to go home with the closeted antigay politician known to frequent this cool joint.

What I heard about the music lured me there and my visit proved what I had heard to be right on track. The music was awesome ! The DJ kept the energy going all night ! I could not believe that the well drinks were only a $1.50 on a Friday night! That is wild. I was impressed.I came alone but left with friends. I can't wait to go back.

***** sexual/political intrigue
Posted: August 14, 2009
in the shadow of the state capital, this is a place where many an antigay legislator has trolled for gay sex. yes it's true, i've seen them there myself. challenged a few. it's steps away from the legislators office, and they stop here for a drink, pretending not to know what this place really is... which is a wonderful gay bar. anyway, check it out. and keep an eagle eye out for hypocrites.

Can be fun most times, but crowd can get a little too much. Lot's of cruising! Very mixed, straight and gay.

***** A great place to be at
Posted: May 07, 2009
I enjoy it here. I've been here a couple of times and recently went for the first time in over a few months. I come from outta town and eventhough im by myself i still have a good time. Bartenders are great and the atmosphere was pretty good. I enjoyed the go-go dancer as well nice guy gave me some nice dances well worth the tips. It was on a wednesday that i went so it was pretty calm but still good place. If i had to say one thing bad about it it would be that The dancer would be dancing then would get down mingle with frinds text on his phone and it was happening a little to often but i got my dances and enjoyed it.
