Well, I have a solution. Don't get me wrong, I love the straight men here in Buenos Aires. They're hot, confident, smooth-talking, stylish, and they wear cute business suits all the time. What's not to like? And even if you know that all that "Me vuelves loco!" and "Ayy, me rompiste el corazon!" is mostly bullshit, who cares, it sounds so good when they say it.
But if you need a break from the games & constant attention you'll find at most of clubs here, check out Palacio Alsina (Alsina 940, between 9 de Julio & Tacuari, a
nd just down the block from legendary Hostel Clan.)On Friday nights, Alsina becomes Palacio Alsina, basically a disco playground for gay men and a handful of chicas. It's in a massive historical-looking warehouse with 4 bars and white leather booths lining the (huge) dance floor.
We got there early to avoid the long lines that start to form around 2 am. It was pretty quiet at first but quickly filled up and by 3 am it was absolute madness. Early in the night, Will & I met another "couple" from Brazil and we hung out with them for the rest of the night, except for intervals when the guy was making out with various Argentines. The only problem was they didn't really speak Spanish or English, and didn't seem to understand that we didn't speak Portuguese. But we had a lot of fun dancing with them, and I think "Drop it like it's hot" is pretty much a universal language anyway (abajo - ABAJO!!!)
By 4 am there were some of the hottest men I have ever seen go-go dancing on the bar in leopard print thongs and I even got to dance with a 7 foot tall drag queen.
Overall, a very very good night.
Being surrounded by hot shirtless men who definitely aren't interested in you might not be everyone's idea of a good time, but if you ever just wanna let your guard down and feel the love from 10, 000 of South America's coolest gay men, Palacio Alsina's the place.
