Gay/Alt night clubs and bars

[TheSwingerSet]

Here's a question I have not seen posted before, What is your comfort level in going to gay/alt night clubs?

The reason I'm asking is that as a straight male I have no issue at all with it but a few friends have said that they would be very uncomfortable in such a place. We have found that for the most part the people in these types of places are very open to our lifstyle and we are not judged for our actions, and the music is better. I am not talking about the gay biker/leather type of place just your averege bar that caters to an alt clientel.

Back in the day when I used to go clubbing, I would frequent the alternate lifestyle clubs and bars because the music was so much better and no one cared if my girlfriends and I danced a little more friendly on the dance floor.

We really don't do much clubbing these days but every now and then a girls night out happens and we hit the Coloseum here in NJ.

In Reno we have a bar/nightclub that calls themselves an, "alternative lifestyle club". In reality they are a gay/cross dresser bar but once a month they host a swingers party. When we first started attending their once a month swingers party, I will have to admit that the gay/cross dresser clientele did make me a bit nervous. Now, after having gone to these parties a number of times it doesn't bother me at all. Fact is, the regular clientele pretty much keeps to themselves. Their are a lot of swingers in our area that won't go to this club though, from our observations about half of the swingers in the area that regularly go to the clubs won't go to this one because, "It's a gay bar".

I haven't really noticed that their music is any better than any other club though, well, unless it was the night that I DJed there, that night the music was great.

I would be very comfortable...and possibly interested in some of the clientele. I find 'alt' people to be very interesting.

I have a few gay guy friends and i love partying with them at the gay clubs. Like you said, the music is better and they know how to party. Your also right about no one judges you, it's all fun in mind. As a matter of fact, i would rather party at a gay club anytime. As a female, you can't just go in the club and just dance without some drunk coming up dancing behind you. Some times i just go out to dance. That's my shit. I love to dance, but at the gay clubs, i have never had this problem.

Gay clubs have better music! We go out to one of them here occasionally. No one feels at all uncomfortable.

It's been a couple of years since I've been to a gay bar. Went to one here in SA called the Electric Company...we went b/c the other club closed at 2 and this one didn't close til 3 or after and my friend and i still wanted to dance. We had a lot of fun.

Went to one closer to home while I was in college. Had a blast the few times we went. Good music, a few friends, and on Fri/Sat nights they would do a drag show at 11p and 1a. It was a blast. And if one of my female friends and I wanted to get up and dance, there weren't a ton of guys ogling at you.

Ok, that's just my .02

Thanks,
