“Betrayed”

For anyone interested...Fieldens is not a gay bar. It is a venue with topless dancers aimed at straight men. The new owner took over from the previous one and turned it into a topless bar without informing any of the members. Fieldens is no longer a gay bar.

“Not for homosexuals.”

Heads up — this bar has new owners and is no longer welcoming to queer people. The Old Dominion Club, while not a gay bar, is actually more accepting of the LGBTQ community.
