Gay bars in Bermuda

[JDeanFan]

Are there any gay bars in Bermuda? I've heard it's a tolerant, if not overly gay-friendly, island, but gaybermuda.com is not very helpful, but this board has been great for giving info!

So, seriously, are there none?!

I was last in Bermuda about 8 yrs ago. At that time I knew of only one gay bar. It wasn't in the best part of town and it was pretty scary looking. I never went in. Sorry I can't remember the name of it.

I've heard that Bermuda is VERY unfriendly towards gays.

Bermuda only has 65,000 people and has a very socially conservative population. I would not expect it to be able to sustain a gay bar. There are American cities that size that can't sustain one...

We were on a QE2 cruise a few years ago when the ship docked two nights at the pier near the Royal Naval Dockyard. On one of the evenings, there was a nearby local bar that became a defacto gay bar, for the evening only, mostly populated by gays from the QE2's crew, and a few passengers that were invited or in the know. It was a very low key affair; the only way to know it was the right bar was a very small rainbow flag positioned next to the door. I seem to recall that the only locals in the bar were the bar's servers. The whole experience was more like the QE2's onboard gay crew bar gone ashore for an evening, rather than anything else.
