Editorial Review for Oil Can Harry's – by Dylan Wilcox
The Scene
Every country-western cliché is rolled up into this Valley local's hangout--think lots of cowhides, saddles and cowboy hats. Jeans-clad men and women suited in plaid shirts and boots line dance and two-step the night away on the dance floor in the middle of the room. Grab a beer from either of the two bars, shoot some pool and soak up the friendly, down-home vibe.
The Draw
Gay men and women of all ages flock here to dance without the usual politics of a gay bar; it's normal to ask fellow cowboys or cowgirls to pair up without any perceived ulterior motives. While most patrons are seasoned country-western shufflers, first-timers are more than welcome, with free lessons provided every Tuesday and Thursday from 7:45pm to 9:15pm. Thursdays are the busiest nights, as are Saturdays when the bar sheds its regular image to play '70s and '80s tunes.
