DISCLAIMER: I am a straight female.\n\nSo, the story goes like this:\nAfter shopping with my travelling buddy ( gay male - I was shopping, he wasn't ftr ), we wanted to be in a bar drinking for THE RAPTURE 2011.\n\nStopped in at a fantastic locals bar on St.Laurent called Barfly and got our Rapture drank on.\n\nIn short, we made lots of friends there. ( Very cool place, separate review on Barfly). And our new local, gay-dude friends invited us to dance at Le Stud which they frequent.\n\nObviously, I know better to head somewhere not appropriate for me and my travelling partner is also VERY sensitive to this as well.\nBut our new friends assured us it would be fine.\n\nIt was the first night of Disco night in the upper bar. \n\nI was DEFINITELY not welcome at the downstairs bar where my friend tried to get us drinks before we headed upstairs. \nFine, I get it. I was the only chick there - which didn't really bother me and I kind of expected.\n\nHeaded upstairs to disco night and HAD A BLAST. Still the only chick in the place but was served drinks by a friendly bartender, and I danced my ass off. \n\nTypically not a dancer but the place was bumpin', the music was great and everyone was dancing. And NO ONE up there seemed to care that I was there having a good time dancing.\nIn fact, they were quite welcoming. \nPhew!\n\nA few other girls showed up about an hour into the evening.\n\nOverall, I liked this place. \nFor the gays: The place was huge and had great DJs - upstairs and down- and there were tons of dudes. Seemed like a total pick-up joint.\n\nFor me, I had a great time upstairs at Disco night and was glad I pushed through the initial cold shoulder downstairs.\n\nBathrooms were a bit of an issue for me. But again, to be expected.\n\nI hope they continue Disco night and continue to be cool to straight chicks upstairs cause it really was A LOT fun.
