Wow, my first gay bar,1978..Chicago Blinkers,the song playing was called EAST to WEST by VOYAGE. I went with my lesbian girl friend.I stood in amazement thinking this is who I am these people are just like me.And the rest as they say was history.
Don't overthink anything. Have fun, stay open don't expect anything.As you go back again in the future you might see the same people there again. Meet the bartenders. they know who are the nice people and who are the ones to avoid.
and boogie oogie oogie till ya just can't boogie no mo.

I've never been to a gay bar or club alone. I usually go with my g/f and our friends together and we usually go just to dance. What I've found is that the gay clubs are a lot more fun and people are generally more friendly, especially the women. Yeh, and I've been hit on by a few guys but it was cool and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

It's important to remember that all gay bars are not created equal. This one may or not be the more "normal" kind of gay bar for your community. The town I lived in had 2 gay bars. One was a dump. The other one was dumpier. I now live in Atlanta and you can only imagine the difference.

Thank you, wise words from everyone :rolleyes: and I will take this knowledge with me along with my best smile.

The bar I am going to is in a friendly area and busy however not as busy as in Sydney or the city areas. Most of the week it is a normal bar but on Fridays they host a gay night. All I know is the food is yummy, the outside is painted in a light pink and a wonderful olive garden at the back; but otherwise an average bar.

I hope they play good music, a live band or just put on a classic music CD; but I might be asking for too much lol.
So I promise to update after Friday (26th) or at least a tipsy message on Saturday morning.


My main goal is to meet someone around my age (or within a 7 year range) and have a friendly chat, if it leads to anything more I will be very very lucky as I will be just learning ropes. Either way if I don't see anyone there is plenty of fun to be playing pool with my mate.

I will be wearing a long sleaved black unbuttoned shirt with a dark purple shirt underneath, along with jeans. I think that would be nice because it’s smart casual. Any suggestions?

Ok have a wonderful week everyone :smile:

Where is your update? I'm looking forward to read from you.

I went to a gay bar once by accident. Why does everyone seem so happy, I had 2 guys about 6'5'" tried to get me to feel there crotches I didn't know what to expect so I left

The only time I have ever been in a gay bar was by accident. I was with some straight friends who didn't know I was gay and we were on Bourbon street in New Orleans. As soon as they realized it was a gay bar we quickly left.

I remember that there was this one guy sitting at the bar who was so cute. I am pretty sure he was trying to make eye contact with me. I still remember his face like it was yesterday and this happened 15 years ago.
