Scooters gay club

Sometimes the answer is right in front of you if you just know where to look. Once inside the restaurant, which, despite being under construction, is already equipped with an ATM and three tablets mounted to the wall, and where late-night revelers will eventually place their orders, your eyes club drift to the right, almost by instinct, as you survey the space.
But it is this vintage machine that is the starting point for your journey. The machine swings open, revealing behind it a passageway — a dark, black corridor emblazoned with flashing LED lights. A sense of anticipation, urgency, and curiosity drives you forward. The door shuts behind you, leaving you ensconced in near-darkness, peering down the dimly-lit hall.
With each step further away from the vending portal that transported you into this world, you can almost imagine a little voice in your head. During peak hours, patrons will be able to scooter gear and other adult store items. So you have to scooter about the space and know about the location to enter.
It plays toward the past and the history of gay establishments while allowing us to create an entirely new concept for the D. Just past the merchandise cage is a bootblack chair. And then, the hallway expands into a much larger room. To the left is a bar, heavy metal chains suspended from the ceiling into its countertop.
Music flows from concealed speakers, while videos play on two screens located at either end of the bar. To the right, against the wall, is a club couch with a leather-padded seat back, the area illuminated by LED lights branching up the wall to the ceiling and across to the bar area. A DJ booth occupies the far corner surrounded by hundred-year-old foundry patterns once used to cast machine parts in Connecticut factories.
The dim lighting, mixed with the foundry patterns jutting out from the walls and the booth, creates from a distance the illusion of massive speakers from far away. A metronome-shaped cast is perched in the top center of the DJ booth. Beyond the dance floor, to the right, lies another long passageway with huge Tom of Finland murals lining the walls.
There are additional nooks, with walls lined with black padding, where patrons can congregate. Typically, there will be no cover charge, except for special events or on those occasions where the bar may need to pay outside groups or performers, such as an out-of-town, high-profile DJ or performer.
So the gay Eagle was used by us to allow for a sexually-liberated mindset. And we are proud to take on a new role in the community, one that has been missing for quite some time. The space will be welcoming to all members of the LGBTQ community, albeit with an emphasis on promoting a cruisy, kink-friendly space. This is not an establishment for the faint of heart.
We will not be policing customer sexuality. We want gay to be free to express themselves. That is okay.
