The Brass Rail Lounge

(44 Ratings)
Cabaret acts and exotic dancers

Stiff drinks and hardbodies! This lounge hosts a wild mixed crowd of queer folk. The cocktail deals and frivolous atmosphere invites all who are looking for a good time. Everyone is welcome, though prepare to get the bartender's attention if you aren't a regular.

Posh and exquisite

Ive visited Corner Pocket in NOLA, Silverado on PDX, Tool Box in NYC, this by far the most posh male strip show...but I kinda like the sleaziness of the other joints. I the dancers stepping over my drinks as they wiggle the goods in my face... these boys dont know how to make me feel special and spend my money on them. But the place is nice and clean, like a martini bar... okay so after I paid for the coich dance and the VIP dance, I have to give a different rating... the dancers do indeed know how to get the tips. I am a fan! (i still enjoy the sleazyness of the other places I mentioned)

Made Over

This downtown mainstay has recently been remodeled and though I miss the relaxed grunginess of the old bar, the new bar is gorgeous and still one of the best places to hang out downtown.
