Cheap drinks, leather environment.

Boots is a traditional leather/bear bar with a front bar area for everyone, and a "back room" restricted only to shirtless men who aren't wearing any cologne (back room only open on Fridays and Saturdays) with sheet-metal and big fake bolts and rivets everywhere. Sunday night the place was dead, but the bartender was nice and made great, inexpensive drinks. A warning: if you're pee-shy, go somewhere else. The urinal is literally a window facing a bench where people can sit and watch you go... from the front! Oh, and no sandals allowed.

Go here before the Connection...

This is housed in the same building as Connections but has a separate entrance to the right of the main entrance
