Authentic Puerto Rico
This is a purely Puerto Rican Bar with pool table. The drinks are mega-sized and the prices cheap. If you are looking to escape the tourist zone and see the island in a safe and gay-friendly setting, Tia's is a local favorite.

Tia Maria
Nice place, early crowded on starting around 9PM. First spot for everyone to be at a bar, then bar hops to the next one. Little space, so it's a little tight, you have to push or pass a lot of people to make it inside, 2 pool tables, would be better if they only had 1. Cheap drinks and strong! Nice and friendly bartenders. On special ocasions/activities (xmas, valentines and more) they open a second local space to group more people inside. Tuesdays and Sundays they have Karaoke night, horrible awful, avoid at all costs. Nice on friday and saturday evenings. Mixed music as they have a old machine playing cd's so not a great assembly of new music, but that and its regular customers is what makes the place the most known gay bar around the place to be. Friendly crowd.
LOVE IT LOVE IT
This place is where me and friends head first before to head to circle. The drinks are cheap and u always meet someone there. In july 2011 i met a nice doctor there and we talk now and then. Yes its a much older crowed but its fine for me, i hate to much kids as they all have attitude. The Machine that play the music is great. just wish that they only had 1 pool table. 2 is way to much when the places get to busy u cannot walk around good. they should stay a little longer open they will do much better. As that new club Heaven and Hell is not any good and it will close very soon. Cannot wait to come back
Crowded
It's a good place to meet locals. Can be incredibly crowded in the evening. The clientele tends to be in their 30's to 40's mostly. Drinks are well priced and and bartenders are friendly. 2 pool tables in the back but its so tight back there you literally have to move sometimes for them to take a shot. Parking can be a problem and theres always some hustler trying to charge you for a parking space in the street.
