Do drinks at the bar at Mistral about 9:30 PM. Order up a bite to eat if you are lucky enough to grab a bar stool. The G-lounge is the final stop in the up and coming Leather District (now partially owned by Paul Roiff of Mistral). The G-lounge is the last to close at 2:00 am. The bartenders here know how to make a killer Cosmopolitan. The G-lounge appeals to a less pretentious set than Mistral but more mature than West Street. Or, head over to Aria for a little boogie woogie.
Alternate route: If you still haven’t eaten at 12:30 am go into the South End and do dinner at The Franklin Cafe. A mixed gay/straight crowd mingles at the tiny bar. The food here is inventive and impressive.
Last stop of the night: The place where people have a high "scoring " ratio is the oh so friendly West Street Grille. It closely resembles a frat house party of sorts, so go with a buzz on so you don’t get annoyed when some buffed 25 year old spills his beer on you. The bar scene gets going about 11:30 pm. It’s also a restaurant. Head directly to the top floor for some partial sanity.
