Unless they have glory holes in the bathroom, I'm still not paying crazy airport business prices for my girly drinks.

No offense to op, but I feel like good plans are not good news yet.
If this is behind the TSA checkpoint, it’s DOA. (Or at the least, no more interesting than any other option for alcohol in an airport)
If it’s not, then, cool, I guess.
There use to be a culture of going to the airport bar even if you’re not flying (pre-9/11). But I just don’t see the appeal of a gay bar, a place intended for socializing, behind a TSA checkpoint.
There's a whole community/kink for people who buy airline tickets JUST to have sex at the airport/on planes.
I don't know if gay people have their own version of that, but maybe this will be the meetup spot. Everybody fly to Chicago, and fuck.
Oh, I see. There’s the answer to my questions then!
The pat-downs are free and the weapons don't matter.
Do gay people not have layovers in Chicago?
Oh they do, every hour of every day.
But do people behind TSA checkpoints really socialize? Maybe I’m too pessimistic about socializing between flights.
My whole point is the security check (and expensive flight ticket, etc) needed to participate.
If I’m just wrong about airport socializing behind the TSA checkpoint, that’s cool. Please correct me. I’ve always found the idea of going to airport bars to hang out fun. But I turned 21 after 9/11. So for me it’s always been this relic of the past that I learned about after it stopped being a thing.
If they market it properly, maybe they could make it work? Call it a Gayover and have some baggage holding service so people can dance and let go without having to worry about their stuff
Get this man a job in marketing!
If they are not doing this, then they deserve to fail. That sounds like exactly what they should do! 🤣
San Francisco, I am disappointed in you for not being the first.
There is a joke about being able to fit one in, but I just can't make it work.
Good, we need more of those!
