Club Marcella

To hear owner Joe Guagliardo tell it, Marcella's has long ceased to be a gay bar in the strict sense, as opposed to a club that simply welcomes people of all stripes, LGBT or no. And while it's true that nowadays the place attracts at least as many twentysomething women looking for a fun, harassment-free night out as it does gay men, when you get right down to it not all that much has changed. The music still pumps, the weekly drag shows are still locally legendary, and the all-female "Roxy's Thursdays" remain the nucleus of the Buffalo burlesque scene. The bouncers tend to be sticklers, though, so mind your P's and Q's.
