Lucky Horseshoe Lounge

Gay bar

😠 Don’t go here if you want the most horrible service. We were there last night and our bartender Tony was extremely nasty the moment we walked it. He did not even acknowledge us when we sat down, continuously ignoring us. He then CLAPPED on our face in a rude matter way saying “I’ll take your order”...

Meeting House Tavern

👍👍 Didn't realize it was a gay bar until I got there with my date but we still had a nice time. The place looks nice, the drinks were well mixed and it has a comfortable vibe. Not really my scene but an objectively good bar.
