1. The Harbor Room
Milwaukee, WI 53204
(414) 672-7988
Category:
Gay Bars
Neighbourhood: Walker's Point
Small neighborhood gay bar in the Walker Point area. I went in for a couple of beers on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed some conversation with the locals who frequent the place.
This bar is for older gay men -- 40-somethings and up, from what I could…More »
2. Touche'
Touche is Chicago's quintessential gay Levi & leather bar. The men who frequent this place are "bear/leather" types of dude: masculinity is dripping from the walls.
It's seedy, with porn on the TVs, mirrors in the bathroom that are situated so that…More »
3. Denver Eagle
Great bar -- deserving of 5 stars.
This and the Wrangler are pretty much it for the Denver, older, "leather/levi" crowd. I went to the Eagle on the last Saturday of the month, also known as "black eye night" or something of that effect. There were a…More »
4. Chuck's Bar
I've heard this is Savannah's only gay bar, so I headed down the steps towards the river to check out the scene and I took my fag hag in tow with me.
Kind of dirty bar (I'm the one that took that picture of the men's room -- yikes!), but hell:…More »
5. Rawhide 2010
This is a sleazy French Quarter bar with cheap drinks and heavy-duty cruising in the "back area". So, of course, I love it :)
This bar is of the same genre of the Phoenix Bar: same sorts of men, same sorts of "gaming" and same sorts of drunkin'…More »
6. Pecs
San Diego, CA 92104
(619) 296-0889
Great bar with friendly staff and customers alike. I first landed here last Thursday and returned on Friday and last night (Sunday). Lot's of middle-aged bears (like myself) and younger dudes who are into 'em :) The service is great, and the…More »
7. The SRO Lounge
Trevor -- the sexy & fun bartender who worked here on Wednesdays -- is no longer here. SRO loses two stars for that. Boo!

Categories:
Dance Clubs,
Gay Bars
Neighbourhood: North Park
I went on 2/5/11 for the Bear party which occurs on the 1st Saturday of every month -- total fun time with a rockin' DJ that actually plays music that isn't playing on the radio stations yet. Also, good lighting and hot bartenders equals an awesome…More »
9. Phoenix Bar
So you like gay leather/levi bars with a "anything goes" attitude? You found it here at the Phoenix.
The bartenders were great, pouring STIFF drinks from the well and striking up friendly conversation. The patrons are exactly what you expect from a…More »
10. Corner Pocket
If you're into strippers dancing on the bar and stuffing dollars into their g-strings (with lots of gratuitous penis flashes) then this is definitely your place. This bar is loaded with good-looking 20-something twinks who are "working", and it's…More »
11. The Wrangler
Denver, CO 80203
(303) 837-1075
Categories:
Gay Bars,
Sports Bars
Neighbourhoods: Northwest, Uptown
I've been to the Wrangler on 3 separate occasions when I've visited Denver on business trips -- my experience has always been a positive one.
The bartenders are nice and pour stiff drinks. Thursday nights are their "3, 2, 1 Night" (meaning $3 call…More »
12. Club 501
I've been to Club 501 a few times in my life, most recently a couple of weeks ago when I was passing through Redding on my way to Portland, and needed to get a room for the night.
I like Redding's only gay bar. It's definitely a local scene with…More »
13. Eagle Portland
Portland, OR 97217
(503) 283-9734
Category:
Gay Bars
Neighbourhoods: North Portland, Piedmont
I used to live in Portland when all the gay bars were down on "Vaseline Alley" (aka, SW Stark Street). Since the scourge known as the "Pearl District" has jumped Burnside and spread to the now former gay ghetto, most of the action has been…More »
14. Dallas Eagle
From what I understand, this is the only leather/levi bar in the greater Dallas area -- therefore, this is the only bar I went to over my 2 night stay in Dallas!
What Dallas lacks in a leather scene they make up for in their only leather bar. This…More »
15. Montrose Mining Company
Houston, TX 77006
(713) 529-7488
Category:
Gay Bars
Neighbourhoods: Fourth Ward, Montrose
Great bar for Houston: this is your gay leather/levi bar with the clientele that you're looking for. Friendly service and happy customers.
AND there's the obligatory "trough" in the men's room, so you can check your neighbor's equipment measurements…More »
16. Tropicana Motel & Apartments
The rooms are very clean and comfortable -- and they come with a small fridge and a microwave (also it's situated across the street from a Winn Dixie, so you can actually buy & prepare something less expensive than eating out).
They only take cash…More »
17. Econo Lodge
Denver, CO 80218
(303) 813-8000
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Northwest, Uptown
I like this hotel, especially for it's location. For the travelling gay man, it's pretty centrally located to where you wanna be. Walking distance to most of the Denver gay scene -- in fact it's right next door to Denver's gay country western bar,…More »
18. Streetcar Charlie's Bar & Grille - CLOSED
I like this place. I sat at the bar (as is my usual choice) and struck up a conversation with the sexy bartender, Ray. Ray set me a place setting so I could eat my dinner there and gave me a menu. I ordered a cesar salad and ahi tuna. It was…More »
19. Island House
I love this place!
I checked into the Island house on Friday afternoon and fell immediately in love with my room. There are actually 3 separate bungalows across the alley from the main compound, and I stayed in one of these rooms. It was a very…More »
20. Bourbon Pub and Parade
This place is located on the corner of Bourbon & St. Ann streets -- the 'gay corner' in the Quarter. On warm days & nights it has all of the french doors open, which is key to those of us who are sensitive to cigarette smoke. There's also an…More »
21. Jackhammer
Oh yeah: I love this place!
I first visited Jackhammer a few years back when somebody told me that the only bars in Chicago worth visiting were this one and the next door legend, Touche.
The Jackhammer has a little something for everybody. When you…More »
22. Woody's
Totally fun, rockin' local gay bar with a cool horseshoe shaped bar (my very favorite).
Hot bartenders and a cool juke box.
Stiff drinks and bar dice round out this true Milwaukee gay experience. This is the gay bar you're looking for in Milwaukee.More »
23. R & R Saloon
Detroit, MI 48210
(313) 849-2751
Category:
Gay Bars
Neighbourhood: Southwest Detroit
I've never been to Detroit prior to this weekend, and I read where the Detroit Eagle was closed. I did a Google search to see where all the leathermen migrated to afterwards and I found R&R's relevant and updated website and decided to check it out.…More »
24. Woody's
Toronto, ON M4Y 2C5
Canada
(416) 972-0887
Category:
Gay Bars
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
My first gay bar experience in Toronto, and I took my (girl) friend with me. Everybody was fine with her being there (I'm sensitive to that) and we both had a good time.
We went on a Monday night, and the TV monitors were all showing music videos,…More »
25. Bar Le Stud
I stopped by this bar to check out the scene on a Thursday night. It was packed (but not overcrowded) with lots of guys shakin' their booty on the dance floor.
There were 4 bars open on the night I went, and I never had to wait for a drink.…More »
26. Man's World
Cleveland, OH 44113
(216) 771-0369
Pretty rad place: laid back, casual types of dudes. I saddled up to the bar and had a couple of shots and a couple of brews and watched the locals laugh, tease and flirt.
Bartender was a cutie (as was the off-duty bar manager). Drinks were strong…More »
27. Heart O' Chicago Motel
My favorite gay bars are located in Rogers Park (Touche & Jackhammer), so when I come to Chicago, I like to stay somewhere within "stumbling distance" to my favorite raunchy leather bars: Heart O' Chicago fills the bill. It's a scant 10 minute…More »
28. Club 5
I've decided that Madison, Wisconsin is the Eugene, Oregon of the Midwest. Or maybe Eugene, Oregon is the Madison, Wisconsin of the Pacific Northwest? Anyhoo, it's uncanny how these two small college cities are so closely aligned and alike. Just…More »
29. Cabaret Club Le Drague
I wasn't expecting such a cool bar in Quebec City. I was pleasantly surprised by Cabaret Club Le Drague.
I went on a Sunday night (on a 3--day weekend, so it was like a Friday or Saturday night crowd). The bar was pretty hopping as there is a large…More »
30. Black Eagle
Toronto, ON M4Y 2C5
Canada
(416) 413-1219
Category:
Gay Bars
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I had a great experience at the Black Eagle while I was visiting Toronto. I went on a Tuesday night and made some friends right away, striking up a conversation with some locals sitting at the bar and with the bartender as well.
There's a small area…More »
31. Parliament House Motor Inn
I went to the Parliament House and had a great experience.
I first bounded up to the front bar and peeked in -- there was a cover charge for entry and they were playing hip hop music and the crowd was about 15 to 20 years younger than me. I asked…More »
32. Leather Master One Saloon
Key West, FL 33040
(305) 292-9911
This is Key West's Leather & Levi bar -- it can be accessed from Petronia Street, or there's a hallway leading from the 801 into the back of this bar.
It's not your town's Eagle, so think a lot smaller with a lot fewer clientele, but it's still pretty…More »
33. Econo Lodge
I always stay here when I come to Los Angeles. Yes, it's the Econolodge, but it's pretty great for what you pay. It's centrally-located in Hollywood, so if you're here to see Hollywood & Vine, or the Walk of Fame, then you're within a 15 minute…More »
34. San Diego Eagle
San Diego, CA 92104
(619) 295-8072
Awesome bar in San Diego's North Park neighborhood. It's a smaller sized bar, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in girth :) Haha -- get it?
Bartenders and bar backs are H-O-T (check out Mikey -- a regular weekend bartender that…More »

Neighbourhood: Hillcrest
This is your all-purpose gay bar located in the Hillcrest gay ghetto.
If you're needing to watch the game on TV, then this is your spot. Both indoor and outdoor bars accommodate the sun-seekers and smokers (on the outdoor patio); inside there's a…More »

Gay sports bar located in the trendy North Park part of town.
There's a big indoor area with a horseshoe shaped bar. Lots of flat screen HD TVs, and they'll accommodate you and put on your favorite game. There are also pool tables and darts and a…More »
37. Lone Star Saloon
This is THE Bear bar, men. Come worship and pay tribute.
When I lived in SF this was one of my "go-to" bars. With a beer bust on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons, how could you go wrong coming here?
Although the giant barrel with peanuts is gone…More »
38. Eagle LA
Los Angeles, CA 90029
(323) 669-9472
Category:
Gay Bars
Neighbourhood: Silver Lake
This is THE Levi & leather bar to go to in LA. If you like sexy bartenders and bar backs, good drink specials, fun specialty nights, or just shootin' the shit and cruising on hot men, then this is your bar.
Indoors you have 2 bars: the "back room"…More »
39. Faultline
Los Angeles, CA 90029
(323) 660-0889
Category:
Gay Bars
Neighbourhood: Wilshire Center
I've been to the Faultline several times on Friday and Saturday nights, it's a pretty fun leather muscle/bear bar with different themes. Big outdoor porch that is almost fully covered (the cigarette smoke kinda lingers out there). Make sure you…More »
40. The Bolt
This bar is off the beaten path and definitely far away from the twink scene/dance bars downtown Sacramento. Make the drive out to Del Paso and find this place, as this is Sacramento's only leather/levi bar (and it's a pretty good one).
This is a…More »
