Gorilla gay bar savannah
By Rachael Flora
MANY a night in the early s, in enormous cities like San Francisco and New York City, the straights would be enjoying a chill evening in their favorite bar when, suddenly, the gays came. They’d show up nearly a hundred deep, no reservations or Facebook events to tip anyone off, and take over the bar for the night, playing queer anthems and taking up space.
In Chicago, Pablo Villareal was part of the “guerrilla gay bar” takeover in his early twenties. It made a lasting impression on him, and when he moved to Savannah two years ago, he vowed to keep the tradition going—with one slight amendment.
“I loved the concept, except I wanted to be a little more mindful—I’m going to call the bar,” he laughs. “‘Hey, are you okay if we come hold over your bar on one of your non-busy nights and make it queer for the evening?’”
Thus, Gorilla Gay Bar was born one year ago as a solution to the dearth of gay bars in Savannah. Club One was once the most popular gay bar in the city thanks to Lady Chablis, but now it’s just the gay bar in Savannah after Chuck’s closed a several years
Gorilla Trekking and Queen Elizabeth Safari Uganda: Big 5 Meets Mountain Gorillas (–)
Why Choose a Gorilla Trekking and Queen Elizabeth Safari in Uganda?
Combining Gorilla trekking and Queen Elizabeth Safari in one itinerary is one of the most rewarding wildlife experiences in Africa. In just a few days, you can arrive face-to-face with endangered mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and then explore the iconic savannah plains of Queen Elizabeth National Park, home to tree-climbing lions, elephants, leopards, and a spectacular variety of birds.
What makes Uganda exceptional is its ability to offer both primate tracking and classic Big 5 game drives in a single safari—something that few countries in Africa can match. A Gorilla Trekking and Queen Elizabeth Safari showcases the best of both worlds: lush mountain forests filled with rare primates and wide-open savannahs bustling with big game.
Whether you&#;re planning for , , , or even beyond, this combination safari remains one of the most powerful ways to experience Uganda’s biodiversity. With well-con
House of Gunt burst from the television at Lodge of Sorrows with TV-G
Do not adjust your television sets. The fever dreams you had while watching TV when you stayed home from school with the chicken pox as a child are about to manifest themselves.
Savannah’s outrageous queens from House of Gunt are strutting, sashaying, crawling, and lifeless dropping into Lodge of Sorrows to present TV-G, a trash television inspired drag show.
TV-G is inspired by pro wrestling, reality shows, commercials, and every other program that was blasted into your retinas from CRT screens growing up. But don’t enable the title fool you—the “G” in the title does not mean family friendly.

June marks the 54th recognition of Pride, now a month-long celebration of gay liberation after the Stonewall uprising in Adj York's Greenwich Village. Here in Savannah this year, June brings palpable anticipation for the next Gorilla Gay Bar pop-up. Celebrating the spirit of acceptance and LGBTQ+ empowerment, the Pride-themed series promises to be an outstanding experience for attendees.
In a unique blend of creativity, activism and community-building, Gorilla Gay Bar has emerged as a spirited pop-up venture, transforming non-traditional venues into inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals. Led by Pablo Villarreal, who hails from Chicago but set up a new home in Savannah after the COVID lockdown, Gorilla Gay Bar is turning the concept of a "gay bar" on its head.
Safe, inclusive in unexpected places
The name Gorilla Gay Bar cleverly combines the notion of a guerilla movement with a playful nod to its unconventional nature. It's a project that thrives on embracing spaces that are not typicall
