good for everyone

I'm not really into the cowboy/line dancing scene - but this place is large enough that it has a very mixed crowd. Probably THE place to go after having a few warm-up drinks at Cherry Bar. Good times here, despite the snobby bartenders.

WAS AN ALL TIME FAVORITE REGARDLESS OF MOOD

A LOT OF THE GUYS WERE TOTALLY AWESOME. THIER LIL C'BOY HATS, TITE LEES, BULGING CROTCHES, SWEATING VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS. A GUY FOR EVERYONE AND THE HOURS WERE FANTASTIC. MEET AT LEAST 12 HOOKUPS THAT REMAINED FRIENDS, AMONST THE PERSONAL FRIEND I MISS THE MOST WHO DID THE MOST FOR PEOPLE WITHOUT EXPECTATION WAS GOOD OL "ARTIE." HE IS CERTAINLY IN HEAVEN AND HAD A HEART OF GOLD AND I ALWAYS APPRECIATED HOW THE STAFF TREATED HIM, EVEN CHARLIES ONE AND OWNLY PUSSY LEHOOT. HOW MANY TIMES SHE WANTED TO TAKE ME HOME AND DIDN'T, BUT NOW BEING STUCK IN ND, WITH ACTUAL CATTLE AND BUFFALOS, I WISH I WERE A CUDDLIN' WITH HER RIGHT NOW. PSSU IF YA STILL AROUND DROP ME A LINE AND I'LL DROP YOU A .....? SUGGEST THAT CHARLIE'S HAVE A REUNION. IT WAS MY FIRST GAY BAR I VISITED AFTER MOVING THERE AND I HAPPENED TO APPEAR ON UNDERWEAR NIGHT. I MIGHT AS WELL LEFT BREAD CRUMBS FOR THE LINE DANCERS TO FOLLOW ME, SO I USED CONDOMS INSTEAD. THEY WORK GREAT IN LARGE COMPLEXES. PUSSY, TAKE UP A DONATION IN REMEMBERANCE OF ARTIE' AND FLY ME BACK DOWN FROM ND. WE WERE EACH OTHERS' LAST LOVE AND NOW, I'M GOING TO BE SEEING HIM SOON AS WELL.

Cowboy bar

For line dancing and two-steppining or if you are just into cowboys, don't miss Charlies in Phoenix. They also have one in Denver.

Like the drag shows and costumes

My friend and I go occasionally, I am a celebit straight, and she is a Trans. The guys are always so nice and complimentary to me, makes me feel young again and I don't feel hit on when they compliment me. Cheap drinks, but watch the flooring outside if you wear heels it is treacherous I slipped off a step last week ( no only drinking water) right on my hiney! Two big strong cowboys helped me up though thanks fellas! But I was still red faced I can tell you!
