See All Lists
1. Menz Bar
Ahhh Menz Bar...the welcoming, fun-loving, extroverted step-brother to our city's better known Reflections Cabaret. It may be tucked away on Gottigen Street - so a tough sell to get your friends to come along - but it's always well worth the trip.…More »
2. The Dome
"Hey! I have a great idea - let's connect six bars all together using a series of confusing hallways, doors and stairs that all look the same so that groups of 19-year-old frat boys and sorority girls can get separated from the herd while navigating…More »
3. DNA Lounge
San Francisco, CA 94103
USA
(415) 626-1409
Categories:
Dance Clubs,
Venues & Event Spaces,
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: SOMA
Overpriced drinks? Power-tripping bouncers? Line waits that will have you celebrating multiple birthdays before you get in? High odds of getting elbowed in the face or nether regions by overzealous dancers? Well yeah...definitely. Those are just some…More »
4. Festa Wine & Cocktail Lounge
San Francisco, CA 94115
USA
(415) 567-5866
If after a big Italian meal and multiple bottles of Prosecco someone suggests it's time to pop your karaoke cherry, say 'yes'. If en route to a mysterious karaoke bar someone tells you it's in a Japanese strip mall, say 'bring it on'. If entering the…More »
5. MGM Grand
Las Vegas, NV 89109
USA
(877) 880-0880
Categories:
Hotels,
Restaurants,
Casinos
Neighbourhood: The Strip
When we first started planning a group vacation in Vegas for about 60 people flying in from all across the continent, I thought the whole thing would be a gong-show, and an expensive one at that. The bulk of the crew were staying at the Flamingo with…More »
6. The Brass Rail
San Diego, CA 92103
USA
(619) 298-2233
Categories:
Gay Bars,
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhood: Hillcrest
I admittedly don't remember much about being here beside the serious music that you couldn't dance to unless you knew the ins and outs of salsa or something similar that resulted in me repeatedly yanking my friend's earrings out while trying to keep…More »
7. Number One Fifth Avenue
"A gay dive bar? I mean, sure...I guess!" - and that, my friends, was the beginning of the end for a wee Canadian lost amidst free-poured drinks and topless bartenders on an ill-fated July 4th celebration in Hillcrest.
We arrived here after crowded a…More »
8. The Roxy
Portland, OR 97205
USA
(503) 223-9160
Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Downtown
This place is lucky that the food carts aren't open late. They're really banking on the fact that late-night drunk eaters don't have many other options when it comes to soaking up the sizzurp. I've seen plenty of places do really, really well with…More »
9. The Paragon Theatre - CLOSED
If someone says there's a better night out on the town in Halifax than the Paragon's Retro Night, you have my permission to call them a filthy liar and push them down a flight of stairs. Well, mostly the first part. You're on your own if you want to…More »
10. Tribeca Bistro Bar - CLOSED
If Tribeca were twice the size, it would easily be my favourite club in the city. With an artsier, bordering-on-hipster crowd compared to the Ed Hardy conventions happening elsewhere, it's got the right good time, free-spirited vibe that's tough to…More »
11. Bearly's House of Blues and Ribs
This week marked my very first steps in the door at Bearly's and it was a mixed experience indeed. So, I encourage you to consider this an interim-review. Despite my first visit being less-than-ideal, I'm actually really excited to get back for a…More »
12. The Lower Deck Beer Market
Set up on the second floor of the ever-popular Lower Deck, the Beer Market seems to always be mid-identity crisis. During the day, it's a calm, casual lunch spot for above average pub fare. At night? It's the weird, pop-music-loving sister of the…More »
