For what is traditionally a conservative town, Richmond is lucky to have a number of gay night-life options, but this long-running Richmond entity is one of the most varied. A relative monster of a building, it accommodates three bars, a dining room, a dance floor, pool tables, a patio and deck combo and a volleyball court. The clientele is friendly and varied and the live entertainment runs the gamut from garage bands to drag. A must-see for those seeking a different side of Richmond.
