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. 08;}-->The gay wboy trope isn't exactly new but a new gay bar Hoton is lookg to sh on this cultural touchstone and brg home to where began.
