lion's lair

[nomis78 10]

i would highly recomend affinity, friendly patronage and staff, allways feel welcome there, and its not too in your face as i would consider dempseys and exes to be

[darren1979 10]

dont bother with xes its full of druggies and str8s anywhere that opens till 6am and stops serving at 3am, means trouble, stick to town bars and you will be fine

That's rather unfair, they have very good and observant security, and all their staff are among the kindest people and can handle any situation.

 

Club Xes is also the ONLY regular Transgender venue, with LES FEMMES transgender nights EACH AND EVERY Friday (EXCEPT first Friday each month which is Bears Night).

 

BTW, Could any venues altering their hours over Easter Weekend from Good friday to BH Monday, please post altered times in this thread.

 

Thanks!
