The SceneOriginally named El Matador, this tucked-away treat was one of the city's first gay bars in the 1970s, and the regulars have some stories to tell. These gracious mature gentlemen sip cocktails and beer around a central bar or chat in one of the private booths. A cozy fireplace sets the mood for cold nights, and open mic Thursdays let regulars express themselves.

It's perfect for an enlightening gabfest before Friday night debauchery elsewhere.
