Awesome
Been to the Bonham several times. The music is awesome, the bartenders are so nice and there is so much Eye Candy to view. Include the Go Go Boys!
gay ole time
We had a blast!!!! Staff was great, 1$$$ cocktails on Friday night. Sat 2$$$$ cocktails and a bit more hetro but still a good time had:)
Had fun for my first time.
Well I'm 19 and never been to a club, so paying $20 to walk in the door didn't seem worth it till I missed the bus and had to find something to do. At first I thought it was a drag because I was there to early, and being a minor I couldn't leave without paying to get back in. Around 11 everyone started poping in and it started to get fun. Some things I didn't like was I was hit on by every other girl and basically every drunk, one that got kinda out of control. (I expected the drunks, but I grew up with no girls liking me, so to go to a gay bar and get hit on by all these girls was kinda odd for me.) Only had one conversation with one guy, but I can't punish the club for who goes there. I had tons of fun and plan on going back often.
Once upon a time.
There was this club that catered to all walks of life. The night would consist of getting in the door first. The line would extened around the corner. This club as been around for awhile and is nice and big inside. It use to the Friday night thing! Breeds have taken majority of it now. I hear that that the dance/electronica room is now the hip hop room. Bad move!
Gay club?
I will be in the area later this year, so i thought i'd check out what bars are in the area. This bar is on the top of the list as a gay bar, but going through the pictures proves otherwise. While it isn't difficult to pick out the gay guys, there are far more women. Also, when found, they're rarely dancing (Are Texan boys afraid to get close?) There are FAR more, what appear to be straight couples dancing, seconded by lesbian couples. I hope when I'm down there, this isn't the case. On a good note, the place is PACKED. Crowd appears to be ages 20-30, with some older patrons sprinkled in.
