Twelve Penny Saloon

Returned to the Twelve-Penny after a three-year hiatus  More nice people, the GPS did get it right this time, same old muddy parking lot.  Great music and as usual, the club made it a point to publicize the advent of the DC gang to Pennsyltucky as a grand happening, so the place was full of both gay, lesbian and straight couples looking for a great time dancing and having fun.

The one thing I noticed after a long absence, is that as we have all become accustomed to the cigarette ban in all DC, New York and Philadelphia establishments, the cigarette stench was overpowering and obnoxious.  For such a nice locale, I wish they could have a designated smoking area where they keep the doors closed and the rest of us can breathe.  After returning to my hotel room, we had to put our clothes in a sealed plastic bag and even then, I had to vacuum my car and ventilate it to get rid of the cigarette stench.

But as bars go, this was a super place.

Take me to the gay bar, gay bar...  Apres ski after Sno Mountain/Montage Mountain.

I'll give this place three starts only because it's there. :-)  The place is definately unsuspecting on the outside and does not resemble a gay bar except for the small rainbow in the window. I was there on a Saturday night and that seems to be the night to go! The place was quite packed; definately a selection of cute boys! There's a nice size dance floor and a few pool tables up front I believe too. Drinks were moderately priced and service was quick at the bar in the back. The only down side is that Pennsyltucky hasn't caught up with modern times and hasn't outlawed smoking in bars. Air circulation in the back room wasn't the greatest and it got smoky.
