Blueberry Homo Martini at Mo's

I could be a homosexual man trapped in a heterosexual woman's body. The fact is, I love gay boys. I'm the quintessential "fruit fly," formerly and less attractively known as a "fag hag." And as such, I love a great gay bar. I hate to stereotype, but not only does...

I could be a homosexual man trapped in a heterosexual woman's body. The fact is, I love gay boys. I'm the quintessential "fruit fly," formerly and less attractively known as a "fag hag." And as such, I love a great gay bar. I hate to stereotype, but not only does a great gay bar have a great clientele, it always serves strong drinks. Always. This could support my conspiracy theory that most places serve women lighter drinks than men (most notably and flagrantly the Cowboy Bar at the Stock Show), and because gay bars don't serve that many women, they just make the same strength drink for everyone. Or maybe it's just that men would complain if they got some light drink. For whatever reason, a great gay bar makes great drinks — and Mo's is no exception. Mikey, the bartender/piano player, suggested his specialty cock-tail: a Blueberry Homo Martini ($6), made with Pinnacle vodka, triple sec, sprite and grape juice. While I sipped this delicious drink, I looked around this new bar. A white baby grand piano, sleek flat-screens playing mostly Britney videos and over-the-top art deco wallpaper all scream "Notice me," but the brown leather couches and chairs are agreeably low-key. Mo's also features a seven-day happy hour from 3 to 8 p.m. with $1 domestic drafts, $2 wells and domestic bottles and $3 call drinks, if you need one mo' reason to go.
