Impression: Definitely a laid-back gay bar with a "bar" feeling to it. Large wooden decor structures on the first floor with pool tables on the second floor. During the weekend the second floor turns into a dance floor and is predominantly lesbian. This is a fun place to go to meet new people in the community and to have a drink. You can literally sit at the bar, wear a friendly face, and someone will say hi. If you look sour, dont expect a lot of "hellos". Thursday is karaoke night, there is no telling what you will experience (both good and bad singers).... but it is definitely fun. Pros: Drinks are strong, service is relatively quick bartenders are nice. The food is bar food which isnt worth bragging about nor worth complaining about. If you want food, it works just fine. Sometimes friend food is all you need. It has two levels so if you get bored in one area, you can wander to another area. The have pool tables and darts on the second level. Audience is usually lively, eclectic, diverse, and fun. Cons: Sometimes its a bit noisy in a bad way. Like during karaoke sometimes you can talk to people across the table because someone is screeching into a microphone (on a Thursday evening) or everyone else is just incredibly loud. However, its usually not an issue. Drink prices are ok, but you can get same drinks for cheaper at other Mass Ave locations. This is not a specialty martini bar. Conclusion: Its a fun gay bar that is good for all types. Patrons are inclusive and the drinks are strong.... sometimes. I have a good time anytime I go and the night scene is almost always lively. If you are looking for a gay bar to hang out at, this is one of the locations you should consider. Great for: small groups, meeting friends out, drinking, dancing (on the weekend), karaoke on Thursdays, playing pool/darts, wanting to be out and in the community

This is a very nice bar/restaurant located in a decent area. However, whomever the weekday bar tender/server is provided my partner and I with horrible service. Visiting Metro for the first time, I expected to be treated like a first time customer but the bar tender seemed as if he could care less. I walked in with my partner and we werent even greeted by the server/tender, instead he just looked blankly at us as if we werent suppose to be there. No welcome, no smile, no hello, no have a seat, he hardly even acknowledged us as being paying customers. Ive never been to a place where the worker was this non-hospitable. Honestly the vibe he gave off was as if we didnt belong there, which is very surprising since it is a gay establishment. Granted, my partner and I are younger and most of the guys in there at the time were older and seemed like regulars. But if they expect to get returning business aside from the regular trolls then they should really reconsider the type of service they provide. The food was not bad, but we didnt get exactly what we asked/paid for nor were we given forks or knapkins until I had to ask for them..this all goes back to service and for that reason I will not be going back nor suggestion anyone to this bar.

Would never go there again. Dont order food there unless you want to wait an hour and 20 minutes for a snack or dessert. 45 minutes AFTER wed ordered loaded nachos and a piece of cake (and no sign of it!) we inquired to the (very cheerful) waitress who was GREAT in keeping us in drinks. She laughed it off. Said with a wink, "Chef said youd be served last." I thought she was kidding and figured it would now be rushed out. It was ANOTHER 40 minutes (by which time I was STARVING) til it came. If I wasnt with friends, I would have left long before that. The whole table knew how outrageously long wed been waiting. The rest of the group, whod ordered DINNERS after us, were indeed served before us. They were almost done their food - when our nachos and cake slice FINALLY came out. Seriously NEVER had such terrible kitchen-service in my LIFE. (But the food, when it came, was good.) Place smells like cigarettes. Had to walk through smokers to use the bathroom. Dont like going home smelly. : /

Parking is a pain, but when youre in its great. They have a full restaurant on the lower floor. gambling machines (If youre into that) and a smoke area that is huge! Upstairs they have a pool table (They close it off after 12 or so) a dance floor, and a bar there too with a dartboard room. They have a balcony that serves as a resting area (Smoke free) and a small shop there too selling a wide array of things that I swear is a pun on lgbt. I mean come on, skittles, blow pops? Everyone there is nice, my only issue is I think they assume Im drunk a little more than I am due to the fact of my Australian Accent, but theyre good about trying not to make sure youre too drunk to stand. This place also attracts all sorts of LGBT so no one should feel left out!

Ordered food server obviously hit the wrong button on my order, did NOT own up to her mistake instead blamed it on a menu in the back that wasnt correct, knew she was lying ask for a manager she then got the chief to play a manager and he was very rude even when fake apologizing for a lie, please take my advice DO NOT GO TO METRO, its obviously not being managed appropriately, DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY HERE

This place is absolutely ridiculous!! Your bathroom has piss all over the seats and yet you check it every 30 minutes. No! On top of this my friend and I come from Illinois for a good night and we get cut off and we have had ZERO drinks?! So comical! This is why you cant be Chicago.

This is one of the best places to go and mingle. There is a music box upstairs and pool tables. Nice patio, and a very cool atmosphere! I went during a karaoke night and I had a blast. I definitely recommend this bar is you want to be a little more low key and chill.

This has to do with karaoke ONLY....like the Metro, a lot...but, cant you guys get someone like TNT Karaoke to blast your karaoke nights???? I mean, cmon....they are the best with the MOST songs, too

Always a tossup whether it will be a good time. Some nights are definitely better than others. I find I liked it better before the remodel and addition of dancing upstairs.

Michael Lofthouse

Excellent bartenders and drinks. The dance floor has a 5 gallon jug of water for there patrons. I dont know any bars that would considerate this let alone do it.

Kandice Grimme

Everyone here is super friendly, there are a variety of cocktails to choose from, and the dance floor is so much fun!

McKenzie Dermanelian

Great place to dance! Such a great place that it tends to get crowded fairly quickly. Fridays are the absolute best!

Sean Bliss

Even though this is a gay bar, its a real good play to have a drink play some pool and poker

Zach Adamson
