Best Gay Bar
IBT'S
616 N. Fourth Ave.
READERS' PICK: If you've been wondering where to find all
the beautiful people, it's 'bout time you discovered IBT's.
With its practically unmarked exterior, IBT's doesn't call much
attention to itself on the outside. But inside, yowza! Men in
all shapes and sizes, in all manner of fine fashions, in all degrees
of cool and extravagant, are the hot, pumping lifeblood of what
is without question the most fun dance club in the city. Of a
Saturday night (or the mid-week drag night that was a highlight
last summer), this place is packed wall-to-wall with men who look
like models, men who look like women, women who look like either,
and the occasional man (usually glued to his girlfriend's side)
who looks really uncomfortable. But everyone here looks to be
having the time of their lives on the dance floor, or spilling
out onto the back patio. A great bar for hooking up, a great bar
for conversation, a great bar for dancing...oh what the hell,
it's just an all-around great bar.
