Awful place
Very Friendly
I am a closet bisexual who travels most of the time. Occasionally I go to a city that is large enough to have a gay bar. Most that I have been to are very cliquish and not friendly to outsiders. Blackstones was certainly the exception to that rule. RJ the bartender was very friendly as were all of the patrons. There was a wide range of ages and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Hope to make it back there some day.
They close early
The crown on 7/4 on Sunday was kinda hot. But closng at 1am?!! I hear the neighborhood is not safe. Maybe thats why they close early? Just a bar... Driendly but not that remarkable
First to Review
Neighbor hood bar feel
This has a very comfortable atmosphere. Never has been packed when I have been there, but always a wide rage of ages. Mostly men. Great drinks and friendly staff!
