What's the name of the first gay bar you ever visited - and where was it?

[NJCPig]

Rascals on Dupont Circle in DC

This would have been in the 80’s and they were the only bar in town to have a license that allowed the Go-Go Boys to strip totally nude. Every other bar had to keep their boys an a ‘modesty’ thong

Mars bar in Adelaide, South Australia. Second was the Green Dragon hotel where I as a fairly innocent 21yo was told that I had a small hand and the guy who was sitting next to me at the bar said that we should go back to his place and my fist should be in his butt. That happened.. not for depth, but I just moved my fingers about in his hole for almost 3 hours.. he blew 4 big (at first) loads. We never got together again..his b/f was interstate at that time and I was working well out of Adelaide.. great night.

My first gay bar was Trax on Haight Street. I was living a block away on Masonic and Page St. Just had moved to the San Francisco, I was 23 years old, it was Dec 1989, right after the huge quake. Ending up going home with two 50 something year old guys to the basement apartment on Fell St. They used me every which way until the sun was up. crazy times, the best of times.

The End Up in San Francisco for Tea Dance. I had only just started drinking (legally 😜). I went to the bar and ordered a drink. I mixed up my East Coast cities when I ordered, as I wondered what the bartender was making. I ordered a Long Island instead of a Cape Cod. I nursed that Long Island the whole time we were there, and didn't even finish it! 🤣

ETA: Technically, I probably went to B Street in San Mateo first (it was closer), but I don't have any memorable stories about B Street.

my first bf was a twink waiter at b street n i lived right behind central park in an old mansion

Growing up in the mid Hudson Valley of New York in the early/mid 70's was a kid in the candy store experience. When I was 16 I was tall enough to pass for legal, and would hit a little porno book store in Newburgh and buy a 3 pack of gay porn. I discovered the college town near my town when I was 18 ( at the time drinking age was 18 in NY)  Disco was erupting, and a bar in a shopping center popped up ( and damned if I can recall its name, but it was just east of downtown New Paltz)  On my 2nd visit to the place , and it had a bit of a gay vibe but very much a mixed group there, a girl I knew from school who was a couple years ahead of me pulled me aside and told me I would really love a new place that opened on Rt 9W called Cold Storage. I went and the gay factor was about 50%, but it was very much a hook up type of place. As I relaxed and settled in, a full blown drag queen ( as was the term then) began playing with me asking to see my fingers, predicting if I was cut or uncut and then judging the size of my cock based on where  my index finger touched my palm. She then whispered to me that I would have a LOT more enjoyable time if I went outside, and around to the north side of the building on the lower basement level for a private club called Hot Buns. I did, and I was able to experience my first dark room, first naked in a bar dancing ( even saw a show by Phillipe of Village People fame) where his loin cloth did not restrain his cock once. Not too long afterwards another bar opened about a mile away called the Packing House, also a gay-ish disco. 

That same summer I discovered the nude sunning spot up in the mountain above New Paltz where all the hippies - college kids would hang out and be mellow, and sometimes that summer a gay bar opened west of Kingston NY on Rt 28.I cannot recall its name ( so if anyone can, HELP! remind me !)  It was a large almost barn like building with an upstairs balcony and a few offices off the balcony. It was in this bar the bar owner bought me a drink, took me upstairs, and introduced me to poppers as he fucked my 18 yr old ass. After he dropped 2 loads, he walked me over to another office where an artist was working on a watercolor or something. He also had poppers, and I was naked and working on his meat in a hurry. He slowed me up and we made out a bit, then he broke out some orange flavored lube and lubed my ass up with it before slipping up into me. After he shot, we continued to touch and fondle. He suggested he might be able to go again, and had me suck his cock, which was very much tasting of orange. And whatever it was, I do recall it was very sticky- probably from all the orange syrup mixed in.
