I’ve heard that about straight women. I’ve also heard that one of the most dreaded visitors to patrons of a gay bar is the bachelorette party. I don’t think I even have to ask why. ---

Last bar I ever went to was a gay bar several months ago. Tony’s Corner Pocket, Downtown’s gateway to the Fourth Ward. No problem with gay men and lesbians mixing, and straight people are welcome. Things are a bit more segregated in Montrose, and straight men like me are most unwelcome. I really think you have nothing to worry about. Some men might be fascinated that you are a straight non-drinker. Rake it in. If this place doesn’t work out, try a job in a morning bar. Local law says that if you have a 51 license you can’t open until 10AM. Tips can be very good at 10:30 AM. ---

To quote the mother from “Malcolm In The Middle.” Pay? You’ll get what every job pays you. Less than your worth, but just enough to keep you from quitting." [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/just-got-job-at-gay-bar-anything-to-expect/630685.md?page=2)
