Best Gay Bar In The City.
If you like to drink in a place with NO straight people,the Smiling Moose is for you.From the leather clad doorman to the trannies serving drinks,it's one big cock fest.
They have the best jukebox(lots of Elton John and Queen),a great happy hour($4 drafts??sign me up!)and lots of hot,sweaty man ass grinding on the dance floor.
They have many theme nights,Friday Night Anal Bead Madness and Saturday Nights Alright for Man Love are great for any man looking to suck a cock.
Don't forget to stick a finger in the doorman's ass on the way in,you'll get 2 free drinks!…
