One of my friends opened up a gay bar in Lexington, KY about a year ago and we are looking for fresh new idea's to keep the bar hoppin' now that the new is about worn off. Any idea's / comments or suggestions would be appreciated. You can visit the club website @ www.clubliquidlexington.com . Thanks

Have movie nights. Get one of those digital projectors, and show it big screen.

ain't that it

Let's see....I have to assume the gay waiters are already wearing satin hot pants?

have marc almond sing at the bar...

Different things for different nights...what I have seen that works...

80's night or Tribute nights. Madonna Nights get real Wild...so Do Cher and Divine. How about a Prince Monthly?

If the drag queens are prevelent in your part of town...do a drag night. Have some of them perform (they all love to perform)

Always have yummy boys and girls take your ticket and money,...NEVER have a tip jar for those that do.

Have a girl night!

Have a disco Night

Get down and Drunk happy hours!

Make sure that you don't JUST play one type of music...open up other nights and play other things! I see you play hip-hop and IMHO bad gay dance music. I know it's popular (I suppose). But it's get's boring after a while. Doesn't look like you play house music. Maybe get a night of sweaty house.

Have a GREAT jukebox for your Happy Hours

OK you have 2 Kareoke nights...that's not good.

Hmmm...

Theme Nights are great.

I'd suggest themes based on the 7 deadly sins....
A money drop for greed
Leather/darkroom type set up for Lust
so on and so forth

here in SD every bar has a wet underwear contest hosted by a drag queen

dating game... newlywed game

how much is it to fly in porn stars? in So Cal they are a dime a dozen

underwear party
military party
latin night
girls night
i've always wanted to see a religious themed party... i have a religion fetish

Underwear parties are very popular so are "black out" parties.

I'd go to it. Am I even old enough?

Red Eye.

I'm not explaining it either. If you don't know, that's your problem!

No.

Bloody naturally.

hey guys, thanks for the suggestions. now to address a couple of them. we have had the playgirl strippers there on a couple of occasions. there are talks of getting chaka khan & cindi lauper to show up also, **The owner has been in talks with both of the artists management and it looks like its gonna happen by the end of the year*** A couple of porn stars have asked to come and it looks like that is gonna happen.

have a "Bring a Tranny, get in for free night"..that way, when eddie murphy, johnny gill and brian mcknight show up, you can then change the theme to "meet a washed up star night"

give out free..xtc.

One of the placed I go to used to hold a "Drag-In-A-Bag" contest which was pretty funny.

Basically, they would gather up a few of the most "butch" guys in the bar, get them loaded up with shots, then they had to choose from one of several bags on the floor. In each bag was a drag outfit and a CD. They had to put on whatever was in the bag (regardless of if it fit or not) and perform the song given to them.

They were completely shitfaced, falling over themselves, and hardly knew the words to the songs, but it was silly.

I like this one easy way to get all those drunk frat boys in a gown & then u got blackmail pics

...strippers, strippers!



And on a more serious note- political, health fundraisers.

A very hip bar hosts different themes every month; every tuesday dinner AND a movie.

One month mafia movies, other month a Tarantino retrospective. Be cool, suave, hip and tell fag hags to bring their metrosexual bf's. Mingle.

I'm from Houston, and they have crazy things here like TV screenings for Gay Friendly TV shows like Queer as Folk, The L Word, and Queer Eye 4 The Straight Guy.Also, please play more than one kind of music, it attracts everyone, and it makes your club popular. Otherwise, you look like it's all good. P.S. Have an ass contest, or a guess my willy contest. That always gives me incentive.

superspaceboy said:

Sounds like you're asking about P.'s time of the month....

Play a good variety of music.

Theme nights. Retro's always fun.

Girl nights.

Fundraisers and charity events.

and last but not least; Promote the hell out of yourself. A good attention getter can reel in the money and keep the clientele coming back for more for even the shittiest of bars. (Not saying this one is, but you get my point.)
