The guide
Where exactly
Red Line to Addison, walk north one long block to Waveland. Also accessible via Halsted and Broadway buses. Cross street: Waveland
Cruisiest spot: The video arcade in the back is the best place.
When to go
I usually go on Friday or Saturday nights, but it's open nice and late.
Etiquette
Don't go expecting a large crowd like at other venues, but know that a lot of guys are open to play with more than one trick.
Safety
It's a bit small and a bit run-down seeming, but I'm not looking for a lot of people in crowds or fancy digs anyway.

This is an incredibly lame place. I've been here on a few occassions, and it's ALWAYS dead...ALWAYS. Of course, it isn't helped any that CELL BLOCK sucks now too.

Stopped in there last week around bar close, There was only one guy there, but he gave great head. A few other guys came in while I was there, Some hot latino guys that may have been at Circuit. At $5 its worth a try. The guy up front is cool and he'll tell you if there's no one there.

I went there at about midnight last night but the guy at the front told me there was nobody in the back. The place was empty, but he said guys usually start rolling in at about 1am. Its not closed, its very much open. Theres a lot of hot guys walking around that area. Too bad it was empty when I went.

So does anybody really know how this place is? Seems like no one thats been there can give a decent description of it. How much do they charge to get in? What kind of guys go in there? Anybody?
