The Tool Box

Hello $1 vodka Sundays.... goodbye dignity. Always nice to visit when we're in town. Great place to hang out, nothing special but the memories made there make up for what it lacks. Can't wait to be back =)

It's a 3 star establishment for me, but the super friendly bartender makes it a 4. I loved the neighborhood feel to the place, but the drinks weren't stellar and the clientele was a little too clique-like for my taste. All in all, it was nice to be around other gay people even if I wasn't interacting with them. I hear the place next door is good for dancing, but I went on a Wednesday night so I can't be sure.

The Tool Box is a great balance for the Briar Patch. The Tool Box has a dance floor and their DJ plays the hits. You can shake your booty and get your drink on for a reasonable price with no cover charge ever. I've only been to the Tool Box on stereotypical busy days, it has always been packed. The music is loud and infectious, the bartenders are quick, the clientele is always varied.

Even when my drink order is not right, the bartenders have no hesitation in remaking your drink and letting you keep the other one.

I feel comfortable here and when I have my dancing shoes on it is a nice offset to the pace one can find at the Briar.
