Gay90s sold out some time ago, I've gathered. Not to mention horrid parking. ($10 for anything even remotely close.) It's a shame as I know the reputation of old.
Trikx is also now a hetero bar with a gay partition. It's also a dump with crap parking and management fit to leave it as bland, which is probably why the gay clientele flew back to Neverland. :D
The Townhouse is cool and is the only bar I'll really go to these days. Though I hate parking on the street or in the adjacent car park, and the neighborhood it's in is also crime-heavy. (some state government offices are in the vicinity and, having worked with them several years back, know that they hate it - particularly during winter when it gets dark so early.)
Over the Rainbow is a sports bar. I'm not into sports. :-(
Club Metro doesn't exist anymore, but it was cool.
Brass Rail - bunch of old men who'll glare at me. :scared:
The Saloon - interesting place, but loud and unfriendly. I also have to park at a car park 2 blocks away. Every time I went to the Saloon, some thug/con artist tried to scam me for money and on one occasion tried to take my car.
'Wilde Roast' (
http://www.wilderoastcafe.com/), while in Minneapolis, has its own car park and seems to be in a better part of town. It is gay-friendly, though not exclusively gay. A co-worker recommended to me before I asked her if she knew I was gay. (which was when she reminded me I told her several months ago! :crazy: ) Having seen the pics, I love the decor of the place; it's reminiscent of my own apartment, though there is more patterning on the furniture (my decor is comparatively non-patterned, but still rich in a themed color.)
