I was traveling for work this week. While the trips are usually with a group of us, I was solo for this trip. I felt it was a good time to visit a local gay bar and get some drinks and get a lay of the land. I arrived shortly after they opened so it was a ghost town but that changed rather quickly.
The bartender was a gay man about 35 or so and he had a woman about the same age helping him out. She was the one I was talking to for the majority of the time. Good vibe, if not questionable music playing and everyone was very polite. I was dressed in a nice pair of slacks and a dress shirt. Initially I felt over dressed but eventually didn’t care either way. The place filled up with about 30 men and close to 20 women doing the typical avoiding normal bar scene stuff, I.e. Getting hit on constantly.
