Update 8/26/2008: Now called "Jack Hollywood". Please post comments there http://www.cruise.org/Cruising/53572


A HUGE space. Upstairs and down. They've certainly made changes in the years since they burnt down.


The whole place is painted black, and it's dark.
The s are a bit too low and too small for comfort. The doors to the upstairs s have to go, they're too big and rather dangerous.
I had a good time, but not a great time. It didn't start to get busy until waaaay too late, and even then...The membership for the first visit is very steep at $25.00 and they don't let you in for that...getting in is an additional $10.00 every time you go.
Crowd: Quite a diverse crowd, mostly under 40, most under 35.
YesThe Zone is a lively and popular gay bar found on St James's Street. Inside you will find a friendly atmosphere in which you can enjoy wines, beers and shooters and every weekend you can catch live entertainment including regular drag shows

  • Hey guys,

    As mentioned below The Zone has changed ownership and is now called "Jack Hollywood". Please post your comments for Jack on the new listing. I've included the url in the description section of this listing.

  • Under new ownership as of July 25, 2008 and the name has been changed to "Jack". The new owners have lowered prices considerably so maybe it will soon be back to its former glory. The previous owners had raised prices to a point that business had almost died off.

  • why does the moderator make refernce to Basic Plumbing?? It closed at least 5 years ago (if not more). Too bad about that, it was fun. Zone, it was fun too (10 years ago). The current version never seems to get very busy, so if you go there and get cruised by a hot guy, you better go for it coz' there wont be more than one or two there. Still draws some of the hollywood tweaker crowd, that was always the case at Zone. Most ppl doing laps around the place like sharks, best bet is to get in & out quick.

  • Yea that's all right. That means there will be people wearing less clothes like me. I'll be there tonight in shorts and tank top and ready to shoot you in the face with my man chowder. That's right. Be ready..

  • Yes it is, but with this heat, you'd be sweating up a storm in there.
