Musto: Frankie Sharp to open huge, fabulous queer club in post-pandemic Hell’s Kitchen

The 1920's begin.

Wow, shitty location. Too far east for the HK gays, and Times Square tourists sure as fuck aren't into that kind of thing.

Great name! It will attract QAnon supporters from far and wide!

A whole entire room of sweaty tryhard wannabes to own selves? Oh thank you Jesus!

Burn it down. That word is hate speech.

R3, Musto says the following in the comments section of the attached article:

[quote]By the way, just like we reclaimed the word “queer” from the haters, we can now take the “Q” away from QAnon.

R2, I also found the location a bit strange -- you'd think they'd have wanted something further west, like around 10th Avenue, than something basically just a block away from Times Square, though perhaps that was their intention.

Sharp looks like a Demon.

The model in shorts standing with him is gorgeous

That model is porn star Boomer Banks.

r10 Cheers ! Do we know if he is the type of guy who can be hired away from porn and willing to travel to the UK??!!

Isn't that near the old Stella's?

He’s available on Rentmen, R11, so your odds seem pretty good.

Thank you! r13

I'm betting this is the space...

It will be filled with young straight women and, eventually, the gay men will disappear.

A what club?

Regarding the location, that block of 8th avenue has all the gay video booth stores.

I'm guessing it'll be at 795 8th Avenue.

They won’t be able to actually open for well over a year. How exactly is this going to work?

R2- I know I'm slow. For several seconds I thought you were saying the Hong Kong gays.

Good, I needed another club where I can dance in my panties.

Unless they have strippers with full nudity, I'm out.

It will be great for about 6 months then everyone will return to Grindr and Scruff

Let me guess, bouncers in front deciding who’s cool enough to get in.

R25 won't get in.

Just what the city needs, another dumb gay bar. ZZZZzzzz.

This will be an epic failure. They’re bringing in tons of “Celeb” investors like Billy Porter and more. Too many cooks in the kitchen.

I'd prefer the old days when I could dance in my scanties, three bucks a night was the pay.

Superspreader events?

This will be the Olive Garden of gay clubs.

Will they offer a discount for senior citizens?

Most NYC gays are snobs and hate to go to Times Square. After the initial fanfare only Jersey trash, screaming Fag Hags, ugly tourists and Meth Queens with tribal tattoos will be at this shithole cesspool. Guaranteed it’ll be insanely overpriced.

Awful location. It will be turned into a Cheesecake Factory in 6 months.

Leave it to Datalounge to shit on the opening of a gay bar. Enjoy your porn, eldergays.

What the fuck is a "Queer" club?

You mean a gay club? An LGBT club?

What the fuck is "Queer"? Stop fucking using that word as any sort of blanket term for LGBT people.

There's no such thing as "Queer" as anything separate from LGBT. I don't fucking get why people use that slur/smear all the time. Fucking stop it.

I guess they want sex tourists

Yay “queer!” Can’t wait for f-ggot to be legit, I mean really legit, as in, that’s what you call gays without repercussions, and gay people just have to take it.

A bar promoting its inclusivity, while enforcing its exclusivity. Got it. They should call it ‘The Woke Factory’.

When does Club Faggot open?

I can't imagine this place lasting.

In 2030, R40!

India is cooking up a new strain of covid as we speak.

Good^

It's apparently opening this weekend. I'd go if Charlie Carver was presenting hole.

"Queer club" = Straight Women and Trannies.

Heterosexual Club.

Bring back Mr Black!

What r33 said. It's a shit location.

The pic at r45 makes it look like a death trap.

r26 must be older than Michael Musto (see r6). The perfect club patron for such a venue. /s

So sorry, Let me try again:

The pic at [R45] makes it look like a death trap.

[R36] must be older than Michael Musto (see [R6]). The perfect club patron for such a venue. /s

Do people dance anymore or will it be full of people taking selfies?

If it encourages the under-40s to actually dance, I’m all for it. I hate that I have to traipse out to the middle of nowhere Brooklyn at 10PM to go to a dance club. Bring back dancing to Manhattan.

HIV, hep, herp, and Covid. No thanks.

Well, the Krispy Kreme will be nearby, open 24/7.

Its success will depend on how close it's to a subway station. It's NY after all.

It's near Time Square, there are tons of subway connections around r56. I walked by it yesterday, there seemed to be an okay crowd. But really it's Pride weekend, every gay bar is doing well.

It's actually been a popular spot so far. I've been surprised.

It’s Club USA 2

I'd tell Michael Musto to go fuck himself but one look at his face tells me that's what he has been doing every day for the last 50 years.

When exactly is post-pandemic.

Its been post pandemic since June in America r61. Bars, clubs, restaurants are open and swinging in every city. Just the reality.

Speaking of Musto, his latest column:

I don’t get the Musto-hate on DL.

R64 He pushes the trannys too much.

Michael Musto was recently caught being a douchebag because he refused to have a mask during a film screening. He was asked to leave.

R66 He should wear one for the rest of his life to cover up that ugly mug.

Trouble at the Q.

Geez, remember Twilo, Limelight, and Roxy.

The story r68 is likely referring to

The club's name will be Monkeypox. Pretty catchy.

Who is so gross. I know a porn actor who had to have sex with him on camera and said he was repellant to him.

Oh, and no, it will not be Club USA 2. Club USA was a brilliant nightclub!
