In real life, the average gay bar is simply a pub where most of the regular patrons are of [[Queer As Tropes|gay male, lesbian, bisexual]], and/or [[Transsexualism|transgendered]] persuasion. That's really all there is to it. Mostly they are just places where GLBT people socialize, dance, have a few beers, play pool, etc. Sometimes people chat up/pick up a new partner in these places just as straight people do in straight bars and pubs.
