Welcome to Balace of GLITTER! Time to be the gayest gaylord who ever gayed in gayville!

The year is 2021! The place, Canal Street, Manchester UK.
After the utter failure of the Tory government to pull Brexit together, the entire thing was scrapped. The Tory party fell completely apart in April 2019, after losing almost all their mandates in a special election due largely to the flaccid leadership of Theresa May. Boris Johnson was sent to prison after a massive pedophilia scandal was revealed. Nigel Farage and UKIP attempted a coup d'etat, but were easily stopped by the London Metropolitan Police. All UKIP members were shot for treason and the party Outlawed. Theresa May herself, having to take all the blame for the collapse of the conservative wing, hung herself from the rafters of 10. Downing Street on her final night before having to move out.
Following these events there was a massive liberal surge in the country. In the special election of autumn 2019 Lord Buckethead won the majority vote alone, with 56% of the votes. And the newly formed Gay Lobby Party won a strong minority vote, forming a coalition government with Labour and Lord Buckethead. The latter realising he was a one man party, and that it would provide an inordinate amount of work to be his own entire cabinet. Lord Buckethead became the new PM, and divided ministerial positions evenly between the other two parties.
Following the economic collapse, and subsequent bankruptcy and foreclosure of the entire US after president Trump spent six national budgets on golf equipment and plastic surgeries for his family, there was a surge of economic refugees pouring into Britain. Lord Buckethead's cabinet managed the crisis both efficiently and humanely. Integration of the refugees was laregely seamless and painless. Except in ****ty places like Newcastle and Hull. But nobody cares about those places anyway.

Manchester, a city of now some eight million people, with its particularly vibrant gay district centred on Canal Street, became the gay capital of Europe after renowned singer, drag queen, television personality and general gay icon RuPaul moved there in winter 2019 following the US collapse. She brought a myriad of other drag artists and other lgbtq community pillars along with him. She won the election for mayor of Manchester the year after. And instituted a series of renovations in the Canal Street area. As well as a general fabulification of the city. Manchester now stands as one of the most colourful, diverse and vibrant cities in the world. Largely due to the massive gay influences. Long gone are the days of being branded as the cultural cesspool of Britain. It is now a cultural giant, housing a thriving and diverse club scene, several record labels, and a booming theatre industry.
Ru also started the organisation POOF (People Of Outstanding Fabulousness) to work as a trade guild to organise the various cultural instances in the city. It quickly grew to become a national organisation. And smaller branches and sub-branches now help organise events and cross-branch as well as inter-branch events and cooperative efforts. 
It is a new and brighter day. The dawn of an era of boundless tolerance, multidude in all its facets, an vibrant cultural life!
And this is where our story begins...

Card-template.
Should be fairly self-explanatory what you fill in and what I fill in. But ask if you're uncertain. Please keep me involved in the process to make your fabulous, fabulous bars! It's a big part of the fun for me to play gay-ball with you about ideas!
Player/Manager name: (Your name)

Club name: (Self-explanatory)

GLITTER-score!: This is the nebulous rating system for how trendy and "in" your club is right now. It's a mixed score between recent events, both yours and mine, and how well they went. Coupled with a degree of randomness to simulate the fickle nature of the hot and fabulous gay crowd.

Club description:
- Meaning stuff like style, design, music choices, type of patrons you cater to etc. Being a more mainstream place nets you bigger possible revenue. But more fluctuation in weekly income due to the ever migratory nature of your target mainstream clubbers. Being more niche and geared towards regulars over the ever fickle "in-crowd" however will get you more stable income. A possible part of gameplay will be coming up with events you can do to pull customers and get the spotlight on your club.

Cash: (Starting cash will depend upon type of club and a few other factors in club-gen. But should be pretty similar).

Weekly revenue: (Again, will be dependent on several factors. Also events. Both player-created or host-forced).

Notable personnel: (You get to design two notable staff members. Basically just short character descriptions. Personality, job description etc. Please try to make them funny and gimmicky! :razz: Then I'll make a couple more that you'll have to deal with. Expect conflict!)

The fine clubs and pubs of Canal Street!​

Bedlam (Beny)
Round the corner from "Iman Falafel and Chippy", down the piss-reeking alleyway, and down a set of stairs you'd never think were there if not for the marginally eye-catching, blinking neon sign that says "O en", and probably has for the past ten years or so, is where you'll find "Bedlam". The dinkiest divebar in all of the greater Canal Street area. Once you descend these stairs and enter the rickety door that showers anyone who touches it with flakey paint chips, it is made immediately clear that aesthetics are of minor importance to the proprietor.
The room is relatively small with two main pillars spaced out in thirds across the room. In-between the two pillars is a raised platform (basically just a box) which acts as the stage for dancing. Parallel to the stage on one side is a bar, and on the other is the DJ booth. Along the two adjacent walls are some basic booths that look like they've come from a ****ty 1960s American diner, the low-quality upholstery is ripped and smeared with indeterminable marks and the tables are littered with graffiti.
The toilets are unisex and are to the right hand side of the DJ booth. Inside are 4 cubicles, but only 3 with doors and only 1 with a lock. Finally, to the right of the bar is a little enclave, only about 5x3m with a few more little booths. This is the safe-haven for the least fashionable and most smelly gays of greater Manchester. This is a place where everybody knows your name. Not because it's friendly and inclusive. But because it's been the same 35 patrons coming here for the past decade. These are the gays that you wouldn't be able to pick out as such from the crowd at a Millwall homefield-match.

The bar is fairly limited with one lager and one cider on tap. Though we do stock most of the normal spirits and mixers. We also have various bottles of alcopop or fruit cider if you're that way inclined, as well as the UK club classics: cans of Heineken and Red Stripe.

GLITTER score: 15 (Directly undesirable to be seen coming out from by anyone who's got any semblance of personal pride).

Greater Serbia Club (Joe)
Basically the gay club for manly Balkanite stereotypes. Catering primarily to expatriate South Slavs that moved to Britain to find work. Except Albanians, because **** those guys. Dresscode is tracksuits, bushy beards and either šajkača's or fur hats. Music is limited to Turbofolk and so-called Serbian patriotic songs (mostly this). Drinks are plentiful amounts of rakija, slivoviche made in the basement, cheap "Tsar Lazar" wine and water in plastic cups. The clientele are largely regulars, but a fair few of them, seeing as there's a lot of Balkanite immigrants, and a decently sized gay community amongst those. They do value privacy and discretion very highly though, due to the greater Eastern European community not being super gay-friendly. So the club is strategically located in the back of a small Serbian bakery. Decorations are primarily flags of the various nations of the Balkans, football posters for local teams, and pictures of Tito and various Balkanite popstars. There's also a big old cathode telly stuck on an arm-mount in a corner that shows either eurovision reruns, local football matches or Serbian X-factor.
We also have a very special exhibit of classical landmines in a glass case on the inner wall. It is the pride of Arham, and serves to remind everyone of their cultural roots, and the old country. It is quite an extensive collection. Some being the staff's personal mementos, others having been aquired from collectors and afficionados over the years.

GLITTER-score!: 22 (Reeeally niche, and not particularly trendy or flashy).

Natali's Neon Nirvana (Ev)
Hipster bookstore/coffee shop meets lesbian cage-dancing club. 600 kinds of craft beer on tap. 450 kinds of ecological, fairtrade coffee. The cages are made from the super eco-friendly Utopi-wood. A special type of mangrove tree from the deep jungles of Africa that actually absorbs plastic and turns it into a tasty sap. The cages are grown, not made, and all plastic waste is simply fed into the root system. The sap is turned into a special cider that can only be bought on tap at Natali's Neon Nirvana. And brewing enthusiasts from all over the world come to taste it. The food is standard hipster food. Cheese made in a local basement, ecovegan summer rolls with vegetables grown in small rooftop gardens in the gay village, pulled pork made from boar that have roamed the tundras of Siberia, then shipped by small sailing vessels to be locally butchered and are somehow both halal, kosher AND 100% vegan. And so on and forth.
Patrons who can't pay their tab are forced into indentured slavery. The hot ones with moves get to be cage-dancers. Hot ones with no moves get to be wait staff. And ugly ones get to clean. Those who are ugly, but don't want, or can't have the public ridicule and loss of status that comes with scrubbing vegan-vomit off the floors can opt for... a different solution. One that is not spoken of too loudly by neither staff nor patrons.

GLITTER-score!: 95 (Trending like ****!)

The Discerning Taste (Shatari)
Built in a heavily refurbished warehouse, The Discerning Taste features second story restaurant looking down over a ballroom, with a live band playing classical and lounge music (varying throughout the week). The decorations will be posh but not overbearingly so (natural colors of dark browns, blues, and greens, wood floors, tiles with tasteful mosaics, etc), intended to please well to do people 30 and up. The club has a VIP lounge hidden away in an old prohibition speakeasy. Though it's been modernized enough to meet safety and fire codes, the speakeasy is otherwise kept as true to its original design as possible.
It is aimed to appeal to the non-stereotype gays: older or shier people who want same-sex companionship without without the fuss and the bother of the modern club and bar scenes.

GLITTER-score!: 65 (Quite niche, but also fairly fashionable and exclusive).

The Moose Hole (Moose)
The Moose Hole celebrates bears and the men who love them! Are you looking for a hot lumberjack in flannel and jeans? What about a dominant leather-daddy who'll treat you right (or wrong :wink:)? Or, perhaps you're in the mood to meet a soft and cuddly teddy who'll comfort you all throughout the night? If you said yes to any of the above, then you've come to the right place! We welcome bears of all shapes and sizes, as long as they've got the thing that really counts in a man...HAIR!

On your average night at the Moose Hole, this isn't some fruity little gay bar - it's a shrine to all things manly and masculine. Don't expect us to serve you a Sex on the Beach with a side Sangria - we're talking craft beer, and traditional cocktails with a twist, like the Bold Fashioned and the Bloody Hairy. But, a real man isn't afraid to show off his softer side when it's appropriate - that's why we have a monthly drag night on the last Saturday of the month, where everyone's encouraged to let their freak flag fly!

In terms of music, the taste is eclectic, covering a wide variety of genres, including rock (classic, metal, punk, and alternatve), country, bluegrass, and dance music. We try to bring in live music on Friday nights, featuring Bear Bands whenever possible. And, every other Tuesday is Karaoke Night, where we put the music in the hands of our patrons who are brave enough to put themselves out there and belt it.

GLITTER-score!: 55 (Middle score because steady but untrendy core demographic.)

The Ultra-Coxe (Curio)
The club/hotel is fronted as a high class etablissement, catering to rich, uppity, gayntlemen.
Visitors are expected to wear only their finest assless suits.
Officially, The Ultra-Coxe is also a hotel, though the guests only rent rooms to be able to bone the bellboys, who, in this noble etablissement, are referred to as "*****boys". They are expected to satisfy the patron's every whim.
On the ground floor, The Ultra-Coxe has a bar and restaurant area, a central dancefloor and a small stage where usually classical music is played, unless the guests have other wishes. Of course, bathrooms are also provided, and the staff keeps the gloryholes on the highest standards of cleanliness.
Above, on the second and third floor, are the hotel rooms, the staff area is in the basement
There is however also a VVIP section. Where the secretive "Pink Glove Society" have their very own lodge rooms. These discerning gentlemen are taken extra good care of. And their very particular tastes are catered to in these highly secret and well guarded areas. The society have a ludicrously convoluted and rigorous initiation/filtering system. And charge exorbitant admission and membership fees. But in return they can maintain the very highest standards within their particular fetish.
The fetish in question is rimming. But they have taken it to its very extreme in regards to luxury standards. The society meets once every week in their secret headquarters. Where they get to dine on the absolute finest arse the city, nay, the world has to offer! The so called Banquets des Cul, are even catered by a specially trained and employed "Chef d'Anulingus", and serviced by a few "Sommeliers d'Anale". The chef prepares the sphincters of the week in a myriad of different ways to cater to every taste and preference. And the sommeliers are experts in knowing their clientele and the arses of the week, and can usually perfectly pair a member with a rectum for maximum delicacy. 

GLITTER-score!: 85 (Fashionable, but a little too posh to be hip)
 
By the way. Events will be worked out between you and me. Basically you pitching an idea and us working out how it'll work out. Then publicly posted in the thread. Kinda like interturns. Employee conflicts will be dealt with in orders. Or possibly interturns if it escalates enough. But will not be public. Sound good for everybody?
 
Whoops, thought I already gave you mine over discord - sorry for the delay, I'll have mine sent by this Sunday at the latest if that's okay!
 
I think we discussed some stuff on Discord. But I'd like all clubs submitted through PM here. Easier to keep track of that way. No stress. I'm out and about until over the weekend anyhow.
 
Yayers! No sweat. It's not like we're on a tight schedule. I'd just like to have at least something from everyone so I can start making cards and stuff in the not too distant future. Cheers!
 
Alrightie! I've got full concepts from nearly all the players now. I just need something from Joe, Curio and possibly Coffee if he was serious about playing. Then we'll dance the nights away!

Never fear, there must be 50 ways to leave your lover make a gay bar. You could just make a club that you'd like to hang out at yourself, or find a niche that could use a good, hard filling. Obvious concepts range from goth clubs, to arcade lounges, to disco halls, and even Japanese style host and hostess clubs. Anything that hetros enjoy can be given a gay makeover with relative ease, if a makeover is needed at all.
