The bar itself can vary in terms of its queerness. At one end of the scale it can be completely inconspicuous until someone points out that there are only male patrons and a few of them are holding hands. The bar can often at the point of the [[Gay Bar Reveal]] suddenly become a lot more obvious, with visual cues only actually [[Rule of Perception|appearing when the director wants us to see them.]] On the other hand, the trope can be frequently parodied by so obviously being [[Where Everybody Knows Your Flame]] that it makes the surprised patron look stupid. |

Link catches on pretty quickly that there’s a reason all the patrons are seemingly either “alone or with a friend,” and gets a kick out of watching the other two react once they figure it out. [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today|Kafei]] wants to leave, but Ralph convinces him to stay when he points out the [[Girl On Girl Is Hot|lesbians in the bar.]] |

* Played with in [http://thenewgay.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/curt_glee_rolling_stone.jpg this] promotional pic for ''[[Glee (TV)|Glee]]'' from ''Rolling Stone'' -- it's obviously a [[Manly Gay]] hangout, but it's more "Wrong Gay Bar Reveal" as the hapless patron is [[Flamboyant Gay|Kurt]]. (Saved from [[Unfortunate Implications]] by the regulars not looking [[Black Comedy Rape|predatory]] but equally dubious about ''him''.) |
