My first and last experience of being in a gay bar was truly awful. Me and my friends were already drunk as **** and went into see what it was like. These two old men - about in their 60's - looked at us all like we were fresh meat. It disturbed me and we bailed out of there fast.
Only been in a gay bar once and that was with a group of friends and we left after 15 minutes, so I probably didn't get the whole experience (whatever that is ). There were some pretty creepy lookin dudes in there tbh
The first time I went to a gay club it was underwear night and I was going with some college friends, when we got there and took off our pants I didn't realize that they were wearing like 2-3 pairs of long boxer briefs while I had on one pair of trunk briefs. It was a bit uncomfortable but I got over it after a while, I got a lot of butt grabs but just went on my business and ignored it.
Later I went to gay bars with a good friend but we kept to ourselves as well, it was after a club and we just drank, had a good conversation and went back home together. I don't know what would happen if I went alone.
The Hidden Door: This is like the most 'famous' of the gay clubs, I think its cuz its the first one in my town. All the older gays congregate here and I go sometimes and get older men to buy me drinks. Of course they come on to me but most of them are so insecure about their age they don't really try too much.
Club 7: Funny thing is this gay club opened literally next door to The Hidden Door. It caters to the younger crowd, mostly career gays. This club hires dancers to dance on the bar and stuff. I love this place but omg they only have 1 bathroom with 3 stalls and a sink, and its either occupied by people fking or people taking too damn long to piss. I like to go here to meet guys with money who actually have their sht together (unlike me)
Club Cirque: This is the newest one it opened only in 2013. The drag queens flock here and because its in the middle of the city all different types of people frequent, young/old guys form the neighborhoods, sraight people looking for a place to party,
When I lived in Austin, TX the clubs were MESSy. Guys pinning me against the wall and rubbing their boners on my in the bathroom. People getting into fights.
