The newest
addition to the Andersonville scene.
Exposed brick walls and hardwood
floors make for an inviting
"atmosphere." The stylish bar
overlooks a small dance floor as the
DJ spins the hits. No cover. Gay &
Lesbian crowd. |

One Andersonville resident claims
he made the move out of Boystown to the
up-and-coming gay and lesbian neighborhood because
the people there were “less plastic.” And although I
wouldn’t necessarily compare the boys in Lakeview to
my Visa card, there is something to be said for a
certain down-to-earth quality found among many
Andersonville residents. |
| |
 |
Most of the gay men who live
there are slightly older, perhaps a little more
practical, a little bit past the inebriating
side effects of having come out, but not so far
matured that they’ve given up visiting a local
neighborhood bar. It’s exactly this type of
over-Boystown crowd that you’ll find in @mosphere,
the latest addition to North Clark Street’s
growing number of gay and lesbian bars. |
|
| |
|
@mosphere is a small club, one
bar lining the wall, a small dance floor opposite
the bar, and bar stools and tables against French
doors that open onto the street front. The
concept, according to co-owner Charlie Brown, is to
offer a “bar where you can dance and bring your
friends in, with no attitude.” It’s the first
non-leather bar on the strip to offer dancing for
gay men and the first to try to market itself as an
upscale club. |
|
|
|
As the bar finds place in the
neighborhood and a loyal following, it offers drink
specials, guest bartenders, and local theatre group
performances. Betting a little harder on the need
for some groove, the club offers request DJ’s, dance
lessons, and a return to “old-fashioned” Tea Dances,
the kind without any one-letter named associates. |
|
|
|
Andersonville residents seem
pretty happy to have @mosphere in the neighborhood.
Judging from the usual crowd, maybe plastic isn’t
“everywhere you want to be”? |
