    If you're looking for a crowd in your gay bar hunting adventures, this is the place to congregate…read morein Paris. Jamie W and I were at the tail end of our shenanigans when we decided to steel ourselves for the claustrophobia that was about to occur. Under shiny disco balls and baby pink lights, the bar was full of enough hirsute men to spill out onto the sidewalk. Facial hair was not a requirement, but it certainly helped with their popularity quotient. It reminded us of the bear bars on Sitges' Street of Sin. Not knowing how to express any innuendo in French, Jamie and I were feeling rather coy, so we just ordered a couple of Diet Cokes since we met our alcohol quota at the previous bar. If you're looking for a full-on testosterone party place akin to Comptons in London (review: https://yelp.to/MU3KDsN9-I) or Dragon Men in Tokyo (review: https://yelp.to/jtIRBinexp), this would be la place pour vous.

The atmosphere is friendly and we found that the locals were willing to make some small talk with us. The bartenders were even more friendly, and you can't beat the drafts on special. It seems like a crowd that wants to be seen outside (shoulder to shoulder out there all night). The fifth star is for the bathroom (I know...weird). The genuine keg urinals are a stroke of genius. I can't believe I've never seen this anywhere else. On top of that, it was dark, cruise-y, but yet very clean. All things I appreciate. Great spot prior to the "very" late night scene in the area, plus they have good free wifi!
