Aura (Closed Permanently)

(69 Ratings)
Club attached to Flex Hotel/Spa
The latest addition to the Flex Baths/Hotel compound, Aura delivers great tunes from live piano music to electro-fueled beats. Themed nights are scheduled, and private parties can be accommodated at this sophisticated, stylish escape from the daily grind.

No fur here

The baths were mildly fun. This bar was no fun. Metrosexual types (the gay variety) plus assortment of guys who would be described as twinkish cubs or cubbish twinks. Not our kind of bar. We like our men with fur and beef. We partied at the Stallion after cruising the Flex.

Bullsheet

Reading these reviews i'm wondering....are some of these guys on the payroll or what? If anything, don't "lighten up!" The truth: the area is seedy. Or maybe dangerous, depending on your idea of danger. Strange men wander the back streets at night...are they hustlers, drug dealers, homeless guys, I dont know, but they are disturbing. It is a very dark and creepy area at night, even though its basically a stones throw from the Leather Stallion leather and bear bar. As for being attached to a sex club, I couldn't care less. But lets get real, boys. How many of us want to tell our friends that we partied at a bathhouse bar?! Very '70s! If this bar were located on the gay strip of Clifton, it would be ok, but not where it is now. I want to go to a club, not a sex club bar. I want to drink in a reasonably secure environment. For the average gay barhopper, MeanBull is Bullcrap.

Lighten up

This is a great bar. The location might not be in the best area of town but the bar and parking lot are enclosed and very secure. The bar is sexy without being trashy and the staff is friendly. And it's within walking distance of the bathhouse for those who might not be ready or able to drive home at closing time. I promise its classier to cruise the bathhouse than it is to be pulled over receiving a DUI.

Nothing mean bout mean bull

The straight dope, homeys- - - Mean Bull sounds like it should be a leather or bondage bar. Sorry. Its a dancing queen club.

Here's the TRUTH

Don't Go! Bar is located in very dangerous district. Homeless men wander the streets at night. Desolate and isolated area in an industrial district by the train tracks and old warehouses. Main drag of St. Clair Ave is sort of OK. That's where the Stallion is. I've heard of guys who had their car windows smashed even on St Clair. Well, the Bull may be technically separate from the Flex Baths, but it is attached to the complex. Everyone knows that you are going to the baths complex if they see you park in the immediate area, so if you are closeted or afraid to be noticed, be forewarned. No legitimate businesses in the area. A crack bar- the Magic City- a notorious place, is nearby. A very high crime area. Nearby on Payne Avenue, carjackings and assaults happen too often. Honestly, guys, don't patronize this place. Some people on here have an agenda, either for the bar owner or against the baths. But I'm telling you the truth. I'm a CSU student, I know the area, and I'm looking out for the 20 and 30 something guys here. The dirty old men and supertwinks can keep on patronizing Mean Bull, the Stallion, and other dives.
