Super Place Slow Service
I"ve been there,,,it's a super place..lots of candy....only thing dissapointing was the slow service-therefore we couldn't order a meal and took a sandwich instead.....has it changed any in the ten years since I've been there? I'm soon to find out!
Hell YEAH!!!!
Love this place. The show's, and the dance bar's, some with certin music eras. Always a fun place for me!!
Gay 21st Century
I was recently at Gay 90's and walked around the immense place that it is. With over 8 different bars/ambiances it was one of the biggest Gay Clubs I have every been too. The place is in need of a slight facelift, which is underway. Check out a feature of the Gay 90's redevelopment effort on the Minneapolis Page of Meefers.com or use paste the following link (http://www.meefers.com/features.asp?id=225). At the end of the day Gay 90's will stay true to its gay and gay friendly nature but have a posh new look (with a wedding chapel!) which will truly set it apart as one of the midwest's best lgbt/lgbt friendly nightclubs!
Humiliated
Definitely the straightest "Gay" bar I have ever been to. The entire place was full of conservative straight couples. I had spent hours getting ready to go out for the evening (in drag), and when I arrived I was met by odd looks from all the straight guys hiding behind their girlfriends. When I had to use the ladies room I was met and asked not to because someone might not be comfortable peeing in the stall next to me......AT A GAY BAR! All this while the straight girls run giggling into the men�s room to catch a sneak peek and the gay boys.-but that seemed to be fine. When I addressed the on site manager I was presented with quite possibly the rudest, most inconsiderate man I have ever met. I was promptly told "If I didn't like it, I could leave", I did. I had traveled over 800 miles so I could go somewhere where I could be myself, not be judged or ridiculed, but at the Gay 90's I found just the opposite. I left humiliated, feeling rejected by management that I thought, would understand and be considerate to the fact that a gay bar is one of the few places I can be myself and not have to be worried about being judged, rejected or even attacked....I was mistaken.....On the bright side: After leaving the Gay 90's I walked a few blocks down the street to the Saloon and had a wonderful time, I highly suggest the Saloon. Friendly staff, great clients, fun music, strong drinks, tasty food.
New ownership, New Changes
The 90's is getting cleaned up, as one reviewer talked about new Karaoke on Mondays. One of the new challenges I see is Security. The security staff has a difficult task. In the past there were many transient patrons that would hassle other patrons. Security has cleaned just about all of this up. On the flip side, because they had to be aggressive with transients, they sometimes treat their good customers with a harsh edge. The improvements are nice. I'll give it a few more months and see how the environment stabilizes. Good things are coming.
