    Their patio is perfect for pandemic-safe dining. We got to stay in one of the outdoor tents/houses. Though the heating inside wasn’t too great, the vibe and food were. I recommend the Thai calamari.

    A little off the beaten path (the southermost part of the city), dbar has become very popular with the gays. Tip: Check out Show Tune Tuesday, a gay video night and singalong with VJ Rompy. FUN.

    Best bloody mary I've ever had - and that includes every type. Great brunch and not too crowded!

    It's a tough call. If you stay inside, you'll be cozy in the main dining room, where handsome waiters (we didn't spy a single waitress) shuttle trays of cocktails and light fixtures turn rainbow color Read more

    Snappily dressed gay men, stiff martinis, scrumptious scallops, I'm sold. Come on tuesday nights when you can DJ from your own iPod.

    Waited over an hour on a Sat for our extremely overpriced food. Music was blasting so loud we couldn't hold a conversation. Won't be back!
