The Q Lounge

I've had this place bookmarked for over a year.  It's not that I heard it was a hot spot that I couldn't miss (although some would probably argue that).  Last year while I was commuting to Richmond for work my company took over some properties here.  Apparently I was too busy with actual work to go out and I never made it.  My new company changed all that when they sent me back to Greensboro to help the property we manage.

Greensboro isn't exactly a selling point, but I checked Yelp for the nearest gay bar and laughed out loud when I discovered it was on the next block.  It took me over a week to walk down here and when I first arrived it was a little disappointing.  I know 10 o'clock isn't exactly the witching hour.  This is Greensboro after all and I figured it would be an early crowd.

I showed up on "College Night."  Unfortunately, all of the colleges had just ended summer school and the fall semester has yet to start.   The bartender told me it gets busier after 11 and she was right.  The crowd was mixed with boys and girls (read: boiz and womyn) including a few cuties.

Initially the music was KILLING... as in, I wanted to chew my wrist off. Things got better once we got Hanson out of the way.  I left just before midnight and about 5 Kettle One and tonics later.  Not a bad night for $24.  I might even pop in on Wednesday for karaoke.  I don't sing, but I'm sure it will be an amazing show.

The Q Lounge is one of the few hangouts for gays in Greensboro. It 's a rather small place and has a tendency to get crowded; however, it's a good place to hang out with friends, dance, and have a few drinks.
