There’s a first time
for everything, but the first visit to a gay bar
occupies an entire place of its own. For many of us,
it’s hard to describe that strange, stomach-churning
combination of trepidation and expectation, a sense
that here is a place where you can drop any
pretense, study the go-go boys with abandon, shimmy
to Cher, and blow kisses at the drag queen vamping
on the stage. We talk a lot about how times have
changed, but the gay bar remains a staple of gay
life—a lifeline for many of us, an old friend for
the rest. There’s no such thing as a definitive list
of anything, but that hasn’t stopped us from
scouring the world to find 50 bars with all the
right qualities to make you feel at home.
BOISE, ID
EMERALD CLUB
The oldest gay bar in Boise attracts a mixed-gender
crowd ranging from buffed-and-shined college kids to
older couples in matching Western garb. The pool
tables give way to a dance floor and a stage, where
weekly drag contests are held. Emerald’s Saturday
night parties are packed with pretty young things
kicking it to a soundtrack just a few years behind
Chelsea. (208) 342-5446
AND FINALLY
YOUR LOCAL BAR
Naturally, the only bar that really counts is the
bar you like to spend your time in. Go to Out.com
and give us a description of your favorite local
watering hole. Does it have a kickass jukebox? The
best bargain beer bust? The sexiest bartender? We’ll
print the best ones in the January issue of Out.
