“Definitely not a gay bar... but...”
I arrived around midnight expecting a gay bar and was really hungry. It quickly became clear it wasn't a gay bar, but I didn't feel uncomfortable. The people are alternative and friendly. The food is fantastic—great BBQ sandwich and a cool female bartender who was down-to-earth and sarcastic. I loved it and will return. The only downside was the lack of other gay men.
