Possibly the oldest, continuously operated gay bar in the city (opinions differ, but that’s what patrons here claim), this is a proud, old-fashioned dive, down to the Donkey Kong machine in the corner, right next to the pool table. “This is where everybody doesn’t quite know your name,” a regular told me. ”But they’ll act like they do.” A great, low-key hang that’s friendly for people of all ages.
