I was also in Super A a few nights ago. Sigh. It certainly has gone downhill (I know; some of you would be astonished to think that was possible) in the past ... decade. It was a favorite bar of mine in the 1990s, but there is not much to see nowadays. Absolutely pitiful go-go dancers (one at a time) and a scruffy cast of characters laying around the room. In fairness, there are several nice guys there, ones who are pleasant to talk to and aren't pushy. But as far as turn ons, there ain't a lot there. As for nearby Solid, I've never felt comfortable in that bar, nor have I seen anything in recent visits that made me want to off anyone.
I've gone out twice in the past 3 weeks, visiting those bars, as well as Screw Boy, Jupiter, Hot Male and My Way. In my opinion, those places are going downhill too. Screw Boy has some especially large and scary specimens on exhibit. I swear they must be taxi drivers during the day, and some of them are pushing 40. Really. My Way is nothing but a smoke chamber nowadays. Despite the no smoking laws, it doesn't surprise me to see bars circumventing the regulations, but the smoke in My Way is beyond tolerable. I walked in on two occasions, was engulfed in clouds of smoke and walked back out. The fact that they only had 5 or 6 guys in the bar each time --- and none of those candidates for my bedroom --- didn't motivate me to stay and put up with the curtain of nicotine.
I keep thinking that I'll give the bars another chance, but nothing lately is making me optimistic that these places aren't just in their death throes.
