Q

Not the most well-known gay bar in Buffalo, but easily the most well-liked, Q is a breath of fresh air for those who are put off by the cliquish cattiness of the customers at Cathode Ray or Funky Monkey, the stodgy pretension of Fugazi, or the obnoxious straight women who've lately colonized Club Marcella. Frequented but not packed by a diverse and accepting crowd that skews older than other places in the gayborhood, Q offers a modest but bargain-priced selection of beer and mixed drinks, and Tuesday-night karaoke is always a winner.

Class Act
At Class Act, fans of urban fashions will be in heaven among a selection of bold apparel for the trend-setting urbanite: the colors are bright (if you look good in gold, this is your place), the patterns are vibrant and often display a hint of Afrocentric flair, and the styles are sassy and make a strong statement. Accessories such as handbags and jewelry continue along those lines, and perfumes, colognes and stylish gifts are available from J's House of Fragrances co-located in the same storefront. The interior is interesting, too: the wood-panelled walls and dim lighting make for a strangely hip "basement rec room" ambience.

Patricia's Antiques
Patricia's is nothing if not a fleeting glimpse of a bygone, pre-gentrification Allentown: it's a rather ramshackle junk shop at first blush, but dig deeper into the clutter and you'll come up with unique finds pretty much every time in the realm of vintage fashions, furniture, and decorative bric-a-brac. The prices, too, seem to have changed little since back in the day — they're a far cry from what you'll find at most of Allentown's remaining antique shops. Opening hours seem to be purely by chance; there are none posted either at the store itself or anywhere online.
