A real trailer trash hick dump

Look, I'm not against a bar for older guys as I'm not young myself but have a little class. The last time I went some old smashed hillybilly who washes his dirty long hair once a year exposed himself while two of the nailed to the barstool types were talking about how they found out they were gay after 65. When drunk (which is like everyday with these losers) the self hatred comes out with all sorts of hostility. There is really no reason to go here. I blame the management as Clearwater could have a nice tourist turnover. As it stands, if you ever got a hard on at the wrong time, all you have to do to deflate it is think of the customers here! It is small town mid west transplanted to Florida 50 years too late. But they make money selling booze to stoned drivers, which is illegal and endangers us all. If your scene is to have some filthy old bum slobbering over you, come on down.

I had read favorable reviews of this bar so decided to check it out one Saturday afternoon in November. Although the bar wasn't crowded, almost every seat at the bar was occupied..by SMOKERS! EVERYONE in the bar was smoking. If you're not a smoker, you most likely won't be comfortable in there ( I wasn't) I ordered a beer and it seemed like a nice crowd but couldn't wait to finish my beer and leave. Having recently moved to FL I am still shocked over how many people here smoke! I won't be returning anytime soon.

Nice bar, good drinks, friendly atmosphere

Very nice casual bar with friendly people. The bartender let me play with the channels on the nice widescreen TV, I found Walking Dead. I totally was very happy it had captions because of my hearing disability. :) The budweisers and mixed drinks were very good quality and very cold! ^_^ And the bathrooms not so bad, my bag kept the door from falling open, lol and not like I have anything to hide! I have my likes and dislikes like everyone else but I believe that perhaps this could be a positive place for me to meet other young gay guys who aren't dramatic and into living the rich person's life with credit card debt and using their dates for free stuff, etc., Oh, and the ventilation was the best I've ever experienced in a bar! I didn't even need my hand fan I always bring to bars since drinking tends to raise my body temperature! Lol Well anyway, it's located in scenic Downtown Clearwater, and with its pool tables and TV's and all, like a manly sports bar of reasonable price (versus, a sissy club of unreasonable price lol), I say, despite my so far only one-night's experience with the place, it's totally for the regular gay guy (or even lesbian or whoever else desires simple and casual) of any age and type who can't stand the loud, obnoxious, overpriced, snobby, two-faced club scene! Yay for Pro Shop Pub! <3 Gay Pride! :D

Horrible Bar

This is the nastiest and smokiest bar I have ever seen. The bar tenders are ok but Steve is slow as fuck. He can't even chill a shot properly. They have metered pourers on all of their bottles which is horrible. Good luck getting a strong drink. There are no locks on the bathroom doors to keep people from fucking and sucking each other and doing drugs. They bar opened in the 70's and has not been properly cleaned or renovated since. DO NOT GO HERE EVER!! I would pick less than one star if I could.
