Great Evening

Living now in DC where most gay men look at you like dirt it was so nice to stop by a place where you were really treated NICE. Just stopped for a couple of drinks but the bartender was th best and guys there were actually friendly. Now I know why I miss NYCso much. I hope to get back soon. A gret little place with a whole lot of kindness.
