It was just so much fun to open up and do something that I wouldn't usually do. My new best buddy sang with me and danced. It was so much fun! They even got me to sing a karaoke song, Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. I can't believe she doesn't have a record deal! All the guys danced with me. The singers were fantastic, and the waitress sang a song. It was a Monday night, and they had karaoke. I kept to my coconut drink, but the guys bought us all a shot called a Green Tea, It was really delicious, not one of those shots that burns all the way down. He had us laughing every time he opened his mouth. We were all laughing and joking constantly.Īnother bartender came on later. When he came back, he didn't even notice! It was so funny because the bartender even asked him if he liked his sunglasses and he just said yes. The guy sitting beside me left his sunglasses on when he went to the bathroom, so the bartender put them on. They would only let me tip the bartender. This sparked a conversation between us, and I ended up meeting four of the nicest guys in the universe! We talked all evening, and they ended up buying me drinks all night no matter how much I protested.
There were three empty stools to the left of me and an empty one to my right, so I moved down so they could all sit together. I was having fun just sitting there, but then four men came in. I asked for something coconutty and told him to surprise me. The bartender had a great sense of humour and made me a fantastic drink. The bar was decorated for Mardi Gras season, and they were playing great music videos. My best friends in life have always been gay men. I really wanted to go to Bourbon Pub & Parade when I was planning my vacation, I travelled to Mardi Gras solo, and where is the safest place for a female travelling alone? Definitely a gay bar.
