"The Country Club in the Bywater has long been an anchor of the gay scene, even if it no longer pegs itself as a gay bar since the restaurant’s renovation and new pool clothing regulation — meaning, it’s no longer optional. Weekend drag brunches might be overrun with bachelorette parties, but at the pool, it’s otherwise the same LGBTQ-friendly scene with the always-prominent rainbow flags and men in cheeky bathing suits. Drag brunches every Saturday and Sunday are a hot ticket." - Adriana Lopez, Clair Lorell
