Went out this weekend, and found myself in an establishment (with friends) bedecked outside with the famous rainbow symbol (the establishment was bedecked, not myself) - and it established for me what I believe to be a universal truth.
As a rule of thumb, gay bars are just so much more fun.
Better music if you want to dance, a friendlier atmosphere generally, nice people (at least on Luton's scene; can't vouch for elsewhere) and - in the right places - cheaper drinks too. I don't base this just on last night, but on my experience of all the different nightclubs I've visited.
Just wondering if anyone else has ever found this to be true too?

When I lived in Hove, me and my mates went on the piss as we usually did and decided to find new watering holes. We stumbled accross 'Dr Brightons' on the sea front.
I mad a dash for the toilet, and then came back up the stairs, to find a bar full of your stereotype gays. Really the whole YMCA thing! Was about to say to my mate 'think we've fucked up here' but before I could say a word he said 'yeah we know'
Anyway, we satyed for one pint and it didn't feel right. Felt like they where looking at us as if to say 'what you doing here hetrosexual' some fat lezzer was rude to me, basically telling me to get out her way, yes when I've left the bar with my drink.

I've had some of the best times and worst times in gay bars. Neko you're right that if you just want to dance and drink no one hassles you and you can have a great time.
Other times I've either not been let into a place because I'm straight (doorman with a gaydar) or the blokes have been really bitchy about letting groups of girls in.

I can honestly say that neither I or nor anyone I know has encountered that in Luton The worst I've ever heard of are 'horror' stories about straight guys getting hit on, but most of the time if you say "Sorry, I'm not that way" they back off. Have to admit though, Hurls, most of Luton's gay bars are devoid of the flamboyant queenie types too, thankfully! Guess Luton's just really fortunate there!

To be fair, I think it's where the gays go who don't live in the area, it was just too surreal for words. The real scene is in Kemp Town - not Brighton
