  Comments from Utopians:

  "Old fashioned Queensland pub. Crowd seemed to be mostly couples out for the show, a drink and a dance - many Asian/western couples and some hot bodies on the stage who seem to double as bar staff." -- cbc16, Jan 8, 2010

• Bodyline
  45 Peel St, South Brisbane, 3846-4633.

  Comments from Utopians:

  "A nice, clean and very well run sauna. Good mix of guys with a number of Asian men, particularly active with nice western guys on Sun afternoon. All day Wed is towel-free and, boy, did I have fun. Two video lounges with porn...one is straight/bi, which I found a bit odd. Extra towels are free (for now). Free tea/coffee and reasonable café with light refreshments. Also, good to lounge on the sofa and watch the big video." -- cbc16, Jan 8, 2010

• The Den
  187 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley, 3854-1981. Men's cruise club. Free safety supplies.

  Comments from Utopians:

  "The sleeziest, darkest, dankest and dirtiest I've ever been...so why did I find it so appealing? The building is located at a major intersection with a 'bookshop' downstairs and the venue on 1/F and 3/F. There are two entrances: street level and through the bookshop itself. Seems busiest late at night when the pubs close. A middle-aged to older crowd - not a bad thing. Many scenes are catered for - real men come here and downstairs they have included a bath tub for, well, you know what!" -- cbc16, Jan 8, 2010

• Klub Kruise

  Comments from Utopians:

  "An impressive venue in an unimpressive area - very straight nightclub zone. Kruise was busy with a good variety of guys - young, older, western and Asian. Nice movie lounge with recent release DVDs, a selection of hot/cold drinks and lots of snacks to choose from. It feels like it could develop into something a bit sleezier as the night wears on." -- cbc16, Jan 8, 2010
