What we say

Boys and booze.
Dance, cruise, and grab a guy all in one. Tradewinds is a leather/S&M/daddy/bear bar and one of the oldest gay bars in Columbus that caters to the 40+ crowd with a large dancefloor, two full-service bars and an outdoor smoking patio. Thursdays and Sundays are generally packed due to the club's popular male stripper shows.

***** One of the two Oldest Bars in Columbus
onedic - 57/M - 1 review - Posted: September 29, 2007
The T W is one of the Oldest Gay Bars in town. I've been going to it ever since it opened,(over 20 yrs). Unlike most who have comments about it being a "Leather/Bear Bar!" I'm not either one of these. I'm just me. Some Bars are want'a be's and to Lable the T W a "Leather/Bear Bar!" is some what of a "?". It is what ever you make, some would add "Cowboy/Levi Bar" to the Lable also. All 'n all, it is always a "GREAT PLACE!" to be and "PAR'TA".

***** Too much leather...he's wearing a whole cow!

Without beating around the bush, Tradewinds is the leather/biker/bear club. The clientele are older and leatherclad. If you're youngish and twinkish you go to Tradewinds to feel REALLY pretty. If you're older and, er, bearish, you go to Tradewinds to blend in. The music and dancing are usually really great...and the porn that they show on the video screens appeals to any voyeur. It's a big rambling bar with lots of places to hide. Cheap cover and cumbersome parking - small drinks. But fun!

***** Great happy hour!

$1 domestic beer brings the happy hour crowd. I liked it here. The staff is great (say hi to Jason!) and although it was fairly quiet on my visit late on a Wednesday I can imagine the place with a good crowd.

***** Large older gay bar

Tradewinds is a large older male gay bar. The crowd is mostly older bears, fetish and truck driver types. I LOVE THIS PLACE!
