Leather Is Just Another Form of Drag

I went here looking for some real men. It's mostly just old queenie guys dressed up like it's Halloween. They have drag shows here. The bathroom is full of disgusting guys having sex. There is usually urine all over the floor. The beer selection is lousy. Most of the bartenders are not very quick. They spend too much time hanging out with their friends.

friendly congrats

right after my husband and I got married the 501 was the first place we hit that evening. it was announced we had just gotten married and every guy on the second floor came over to congratulate us, buy us drinks and in general show us a great time...THANKS TO ALL OF YOU! we went back the next night for drinks and a bit of fun on fetish night. I admit its not what it was once. only 3 guys that we saw stripped down. but the drinks were cheap and strong the guys were friendly again. we give it a 8.5 out of 10

Not fun

I'm an out of towner. I've had 2 or 3 good times here in probably the 20 times I've been to this bar. If you like being ignored and left to sit alone; led on and used for your money by a certain fill-in bartender; being laughed at while patrons shake their head at you from across the room; stared at from apparent interest, but never being approached; being talked about derogatively by someone nearby, loud enough so you could hear; meet someone, sleep with them, and next time you see them, they ignore you, then this is your bar. Gonna look for another bar to visit when I'm in town from now on. Between cover charge and 1 beer and tip, it cost me $9. I couldn't stand it any longer. I've had enough of the 501 eagle crowd! Last few times its been close to empty and I can see why.
