Best Gay Bar to Die in the Past Year
The Drake Bar
The stereotypical gay bar is defined, accurately or otherwise, by pulsating techno rhythms, frosted follicles and buff, shaved pectorals -- which is exactly what made a place like the Drake Bar such a barrier-breaking breath of fresh air. A piano bar with an unspoken ban on Kylie Minogue and Cher, the Drake exuded class with its velvety interior and clinking tumblers of well-metered libations. Though this was most definitely a homocentric hang, the clientele was as varied as any streetscape. If a man here wanted to go home with a prospective partner's digits, he'd have to rely on a reasonable degree of wile and knowledge of Carole King ballads before canoodling ensued. To put it another way: The Drake was to chess as the Complex is to checkers. Too bad it's gone.
