A West Hollywood gay sports bar showing all the major games. You can watch baseball games and check out some excellent eye candy.
It's a laidback bar - masc for masc, you could say. This is a real sports bar, so do spare a thought for the odd straight guy who might be taking a while to figure out what's going on. You can head to the cellar bar as the night progresses and get a little more sweaty, if the mood takes you.
