1. Micky's was a great bar that didn't have all the pretense that's present at many other WEHO bars. I'd rather spend time with average gay men at $6 a drink than have to deal with all the attitude and drama at many of the above named bars and have to spend $10-$12 for a drink to pay for all the "shiny" things at those other places. I guess that's why you could find me there most Saturday nights.

2. Both businesses on either side are open Wednesday with minimal damage due to the prompt response by the firefighters. The building was retrofitted in the '90s, which probably helped save the adjoining buildings. The owner was the one person who had to be rescued by the firefighters and sent to the hospital for smoke inhalation; an air conditioning unit has been named as the preliminary point of origin of the fire, so it isn't likely that there was any criminal intent.

4. These queens that seem to gloat about what happen to Mickey's are mean and bitter!!! They probably are the ones who tried to hit on some of the hotties that go there and were blown off!! Just like the old Athletic Club. Those who always complained about what went on in the steam room were those who never got hit on! Mickey's was/is a great bar with a great group of regulars and super bartenders!!!Jason, Tony, Theron, Grant, and of course the fabulous Enrique!!!! I always made sure I was there when Enrique was working!!Enrique, if your reading this your TOPS!!!!! Glad you are all safe!!!! Hope to see Mickey's up and running in no time!!! Good luck to you all!!!!

6. I was just informed by a friend that Mickey's suffered a fire. Like all clubs there ups and downs. Mickey's was one of the first places I went to when I came out. Some of us could go on about I remember when...but the people who have hate the place, so why did you go back? By the some of postings I forgot how shallow some of the thinking is back home. Just remember we go where we feel comfortable and some of us regardless of the place felt comfortable there. We were not just there to 'look' but to be with friends and have a good time. I look forward to its return, because it was a place I enjoyed because I was with my friends.

7. Guys, Mickey's is not next door to A Different Light, so don't sweat it. ADL is next door to Rage.

8. I liked Mickey's. Was there on their opening night and went back many many times. Can't say what it turned into since I moved from LA to Chicago back in the 90's. I'll always have fond memories of the water gun fights and dancing on Halloween. Hope the staff finds other positions and if the bar reopens, hope it is better than what it had apparently become. Now if you want the best bar in America, you need to come to Chicago and go to Side Tracks!

9. It's been over a month since the terrible fate of Micky's and I feel compelled to weigh in on this:

   1. I will admit that inside Micky's was every bit as snobby and ridiculous as any gay bar in the neighborhood. Not an attractive quality, but...

   2. ...Outside on the patio was another world entirely. I made great lifetime friends out there - it was an oasis in an often shallow, self-absorbed, nasty, bitchy neighborhood. People were friendly, if one can imagine.

   3. Micky's will be missed. If you went there regularly and now want to trumpet to everyone about how you won't miss it, you're probably under 30 with an IQ to match.

   4. If your cunning plan is to sound clever by trying to sound like an obnoxious bitch with all the depth of a light misting, DO try to spell everything in your postings correctly. And if you really want to reach for the stars, please consider grammatical correctness. You will probably be pleasantly surprised to find fewer of your casual acquaintances will assume you are visiting from a lower-end trailer park in some remote location. (Although if grammar and spelling are not important to you, it is likely that you belong in just such a location.)

   5. Micky's will be back; hopefully all the half-wits who thought it would be impressive to trash the place in its darkest hour will be so committed to their lofty and idiotic twinky ideals they will no longer annoy the rest of us with their pointless, ignorant, dip-shit diva presence. One can only hope.

   6. I hope by next spring to be sitting on Micky's patio with friends, watching the various locals stroll by with their dogs and their groceries and their significant others.

   We, my friends and I, will likely be playing our silly and slightly inebriated game of "shag/wouldn't shag" based on ogling the unsuspecting passers-by and all the while hopefully enjoying the uniquely endearing atmosphere of Micky's.

   Get it? If so, I'll see you there.

   XOXOXO
