Frat House Bar & Nite Club

What can you say about the Frat House I meet my partner here 16 years ago my first Orange county bar. It sure has changed it a fun place to hangout if you like dive bars. It has its share of problems but dont all bars and clubs?

"Oh my"

On one hand this must be where gay nightlife comes to die a horrid, burnt-out death - I came early-ish on a Saturday and was actually surprised to see so many toothless, pock-mocked, late 40-something gay white men in cut-up 80's rock band t-shirts - not in a trendy, "bringing the 80's back" kind of way, but in a "in-and-out of rehab for meth, haven't bought new clothes since the 80's" kind of way.  

On the other hand, it becomes a rather happening spot for the Mexican tranny crowd, where 5 o'clock shadow and toes hanging over platforms come standard and corridos are remixed to circuit-club beats.  Oh, and folks aren't shy about shaking their shit and will do it all up in the aisles, at the bar, with their ass in your face if you attempt to be seated - you get the picture.

In neither instance are the drinks cheap or the crowd very friendly.  Parking appears to be a bit of a cluster-fuck once it gets busy - you could very well get blocked in and the in and the out share the same tiny driveway.

There's a kind of a pseudo smoking patio that you can't take your drink out to, but instead must leave about 100 ft away, out of sight - hello roofies!

A "must experience" but not necessarily a return engagement!

Seedy place, indeed. I would avoid this place on Fri, Sat, or Sun, as the cover charge is nowhere near worth it. This is only an OK place when you do not have to pay to get in. You do not get your money's worth, otherwise. I did try the weekends twice, and was greatly disappointed both times. I got there early, as I expected a large crowd. Another, in a long line of disappointments this place has to offer. I've hooked up here before, but spent the next 3 months getting tested on a weekly basis. All clean here, but there is good reason to fear. The Trannies are disgustingly rude, unless you're one of their "paying customers", if you know what I mean. The Bartenders pour a little light. There is only 1 pool table worth playing on, as you have to dodge boxes of empty bottles, and empty kegs if you play on the table in the back. The Go-Go boys are cute, but are only half-interested in what they are doing. All in all, this place gets a 5 out of 10. At least it's a gay bar, and at least they have alcohol. However, between the Bartenders, and the DJ's, you can tell they are trying to draw in a very specific crowd, and they do not usually play well to a diverse group. I've never seen anything that indicates that Lesbians are even welcomed here. They do, however, play VERY well to the Male, Latino crowd.  Oh yeah, the Dance Floor is tiny!
