Read our transparency report to learn 2017We were here om out of town and wanted the atmosphere of a fun gay bar wh good drk specials and maybe some karaoke or Bgo. I unrstand they have Bgo night and Tejano night and many of Hoton's gay social/muny groups hold their meetgs there.
Except for the last stragglers of men's bars along Fairview, there really isn't any te gay bar left for middle aged folks who like to actually dance wh their partners. Jse Vargas and Doug Plsen dance at the Neon Boots Dancehall and Saloon, a untry-style gay, lbian and transgenr bar loted the former home of the Esquire Ballroom at 11410 Hempstead Highway Thursday, Aug. Wele to Neon Boots Dancehall & Saloon, the newt addn to Hoton's gay-bar scene.
