Even in Boystown, you won't find a midnight shower contest at most bars on a Friday night. Lured by a $200 first prize, Spin's gutsiest guys and girls get wet and wild every week, with only a skimpy towel for coverage.

Check your inhibitions at the door and head on in to this throbbing gay hot-spot, where three bars and music videos on the TV screens keep the night amply fueled for hours on end. DJs and VJs spin pulsating mixes of pop, urban contemporary and dance music so that the well-oiled guests can dance the night away under a mirror disco ball. Those who have taste for "retro" tunes will fancy Thursday's music selection, when the DJ dedicates the night's soundtrack to nineties tracks.

The week is replete with drink deals and special events: free pool on Mondays, $1 well drinks wine and domestic drafts on Wednesdays (with a $5 cover) and Long Island and beer pitchers ($10 for imported and $8 for domestics) on Sundays. You'll even enjoy free drag and comedy shows.
