Paparazzi (formerly known as Prism)
Victoria's gay crowd, although usually more comfortable at Lucky, will occasionally show their support and hang out at the “official” gay bar on Johnson St. The music is pumping and special drag shows or karaoke contests are often. Straight people are welcome... sort of... if they are willing to have a little fun anyway. This place is also home to the only good Karaoke night in town.
