Gay Bars, Hotels & Venues in Toledo, OH — 3 LGBTQ+ Spots

As soon as you walk in, you're hit by a disgusting sewage smell—like a toilet. The bar is in bad shape and absolutely filthy. If you sit at the bar, beware, because it's so gross you'll stick to the counter from old spills. The counter and cabinets behind the bar are slanted, and the bartender said it's because the floor is caving in. My drink came in a glass with fingerprints and lipstick still on it, which I didn't drink because it's unsanitary. I ordered bottled water instead. I noticed the bartender was only using one cooler behind the bar, even though there are three. He said the other two have been broken for a long time. Shouldn't management fix the broken things, including the floor? While walking around with my water, I saw the bar was full of drunks who were clearly overserved. Aren't bartenders supposed to know when to cut people off? But the bartenders were tipsy too, which seems wrong. To make things worse, not only is the bar filthy, but the customers are trashy. I met a few nice people, but I was constantly interrupted by hustlers asking for money or drinks. I guess the bar wants that kind of clientele. I won't go back because I don't think it's safe. When I left, one of the hustlers followed me to my car and became aggressive when I didn't give money. Someone is going to get seriously hurt there, and I won't be one of them.

Drinks are reasonably priced, and it's more of a laid-back place to sit and have a drink rather than a spot to stand around and show off. If you want a relaxed atmosphere, this is a nice spot to grab a drink and play some pool.
