Longtime Fan

I have been going here for years. I was welcomed the first time I walked in the door. And still am. These "Georgie's Princesses" are bitter and it's STUPID T Pro Shop just celebrated 37 years. They couldn't stay around that long if these negative reviews were true!

Don't Bother With Underwear Night

Go to 2606 for Monday Underwear night. Monday's at the Pro Shop gives a new meaning to lame. The website and the bartenders say it's a busy night and lot's of guys in underwear, NOT! At peak there were 12 patrons. The average age of the patrons is 61 or so, of which 1 was in underwear. They have ice issues, your beer could be warm. Your bottled water, however will be served partially frozen. You will get a list of excuses from the bartender about why they believe the night is lame. The dancers are way not good and don't seem to care about whether or not they are good or are entertaining to the oldsters watching or not watching them. The drinks are poured by a measurement device and are not even moderately strong. All in all, stay away unless you are into a very smokey foul smelling atmosphere and daddies.

The True fact is that it's horrible

Bizarre threats of legal action will not stop a negative opinion and I'll post one. The true fact is that this is a straight owned place and, when I was there, a number of patrons talked about DUI as they were drinking and driving home. We all know arrests have been made for that. Any bar has a legal obligation not to serve drunks. The True fact is that the atmosphere is very stale and smokey and the clientele that I have seen is elderly. The true fact is that there have been bar fights fueled by drink and life long gay self hatred. Not really a place I want to be or would think people I like should attend so a heads up is in order. I don't think all the negative reviews come from one guy but I do think management has written reviews praising the place. Management should apologize to people who have spent money here. In short this place is really stinko

I agree with the negative reviews

And like to add that on one review site the manager has no less than seven rave reviews of the place while insulting its critics. At the same time, the straight owner is anything but de-lux and even her own employees dish her to filth. The bar is foul smelling and seedy. Almost empty except for old alcoholics regs who they know are driving but continue to sell liquor to.
