Your A-List: Best Pick-Up Bar

We have to be careful reporting on this A-list category. The whole idea of “pick-up bars” and “pick-up artists” is patently offensive to some readers. We prefer, instead, to let people make the own social choices, if even they don’t always comport with a generalized opinion about responsible behavior.

That reservation out of the way, The Ranch, the relatively new open-air establishment on West Sixth Street, zoomed to the top of the A-List poll with 15 percent of the vote. Oilcan Harry’s, the longtime gay magnet on West Fourth Street, virtually tied with the newcomer for best pick-up bar.

The Belmont, Lucky Lounge, J. Black’s and Union Park all scored between 8 and 9 percent of the tally. Pangaea, Rain, Cuba Libre, Fado (reallly?), Six and Vicci filled the third tier with between 4 and 6 percent. Gruv, The Marq and Betsy’s Bar trailed with 3 percent or under.

For those who enjoy finding and being found, happy hunting!
