Bacchus House   

Bacchus House is a tribute to the Mediterranean gods of decadence. Although unimpressive on the outside, the club's interior is spectacular, lavishly decorated with gilded mirrors, Roman pillars and even a fig-leafed, grape-bearing statue of Michelangelo's David. Almost since the day the doors opened, the club has been the leading North Park party island, colonized by the extravagant younger gay crowd. Maybe it's because of the Zeus-worthy ambrosia the talented bartenders shake up. Or maybe it's because of the vast variety of settings, from video lounge to dance floor to smoking patio. Or maybe it's because Bacchus House has an indulgence for every taste. If you're a fan of salsa, you can spice up your night with the club's popular Latin-themed Wednesdays, often mimicked yet never matched. For the brave and brief-clad, the club features weekly wet underwear contests. And for those who like to sip at sunrise, Bacchus House opens bright and early on Sunday mornings.
