Lone Star Saloon

The slightly lower-key companion to the Eagle—which is only two blocks away—Lone Star is a leather bar that’s as equally popular with bears as it is with hipsters. The floor is a mosaic of pennies that looks like some meth-head’s fever dream, the back patio is a license-plate-lined pleasure den for smokers and smoochers and the hallway in between is a dim corridor of lusty accidental run-ins. Lines for the trough urinal are especially long at Cubcake, the monthly no-cover party with furry boys, vodka-soaked gummy bears and free junk food.
