Machine

I love the Machine! Yes it's a gay bar with TWO bars in one space (RamRod is upstairs) and the Machine on the lower level. Cover is needed to get into Machine on Friday and Saturday nights. (abt. $10) The Machine is good on Friday nights. It's generally packed that night. Filled to the gills with hot men and boys of all types. It has a pool room, and a dance room that has several bars areas. I never had to wait long for a drink either. The coat check is fine, the lines go fast. Big clean bathrooms that are all unisex. The music has never failed to disappoint. Its a fun and friendly crowd that is free and open. The lights and laser shows are dreamy and take you away to the freeked up place you want to be. It is here one can let go, be free, and dance the night away.

My friend and I (who is straight) are from out of town. Richmond, to be exact, and we liked the place. The staff at the door were very nice! The bartenders were pretty cool, and everyone treated my friend and I (plus my boyfriend) like we were all welcome!

Crowd sometimes interesting. B- Some Bartenders generally friendly. C+ Mixed Drinks..only ok if you get the right bartender D Door-Men and Bouncers mega attitude, huff and puff around the bar like you should know just how important they really must be. F Goof effort to make the lower level more interesting and appealing physically B (except bathrooms)

I hate it, suspicious looking characters. Better off going to Church.

It gets a very mixed crowd on Friday. There is nothing happening here the rest of the week.
