Alan Gold's

Great Time, Great Bar

As an out of town visitor to this place, I was very surprised and delighted. The staff was pretty nice and welcoming, definitely a good place to go when looking to have a good time! From what I saw, it attracts people from all walks of life in Chattanooga "Exclusively Gay" yes, but there were several heteros that crash into the place, with girl friends and "MY OH MY...DID I ENJOY ONE COUPLE"! I bought one couple drinks and her hot shirtless boyfriend came over and danced on my leg for a quick minute, while she gave me a huge grin....what money can buy in this place ;)~ Thirsty? Well, u can go the main bar to have a great bartender like Britney or one of the other guys serve u up a cocktail or two. But that's after I got thru the sea of sweaty people that are caked together in sweat and dance. The music was great and the shows were fantastic as well. Well, I needed some air, but all I had to do is just go to the little bar I passed when I came into the main dance bar to chill with a friend Jay, who brought me there from Daytona Beach. And what a great place to chat about the sweaty crowd. A nice quieter room with good music, a pool table, just a great space to cool off and chill. All the bartenders were very nice and amazingly, you get your drinks pretty fast for a place that is packed with so many people. I'd really like to thank the owner and the gentlemen who went to dinner with us and acted as host for the evening, Johnathan. Although he was bar tending and stayed quite busy, he made sure I had a beer in my hand and as a matter of fact, he gave me some drink that I loved and switched over to for the rest of the night! And I'm a hardcore beer drinker, but his concoction of liquor was pretty tasty. Again thanks for a great time and believe me.....my friends will hear about this place in Chattanooga and and hopefully if their ever in the area, they will get to experience the "Old School aatmosphere" for themselves! Lovin' the night I spent there, Rocky

It would be a great place for a gay bar!

I have been to Alan's many times in hopes that I'd have a much better time than I did the last and each time I leave disappointed. From the illogical layout to the overwhelming straight clientele, I always leave thinking with a few changes, Alan's could be the premier gay entertainment spot in the southeast. Maybe someday!
