“STINGER LOUNGE BAR” 38 E. 25th Ave. San Mateo, CA
Review by: Barney Bathroom

*F.Y.I.... The Stinger Lounge Bar has went out of business and now at its location is the Mandala Lounge. I also mention the Prince of Wales Pub in this review, which has also gone out of business after 35 years (very sad). Now at its location is the Swinging Door Pub. Fuck the Swinging door! This review was written when the Stinger and Prince of Wales were still in business; hence the present thence. This is not a review of the Mandala Lounge, Prince of Wales, or Swinging Door, but of the Stinger Lounge Bar...

This place is fucking wack! This is the wackest lounge bar I have ever been to! This place is located right next to the Prince of Wales Pub. If I had to choose I’m goin’ to the Prince of Wales bitch! The Stinger is a new spot as well. It’s made for the younger crowd because the Prince is made for the older crowd. Fuck that… the Prince is the place to be!

This place looks pretty nice on the outside and it looks pretty nice inside, but don’t let that fool you. This place is gay and it’s not even a gay bar. It’s got that gay ass vibe once you walk inside. All the bartenders and costumers are wearing fruity ass shirts with spiked, wild hair like they are all apart of a boy band. Plus the music that they play reflects that. This place is for metrosexuals like my friend Justin’s old roommate Marcos. Marcos would love this place. You have to dress like a faggot if you wanna pick up girls here. Sorry ladies… I don’t go that far.

They only had two beers on tap and no Budweiser or Bud Light! You call this a bar! The music that they play is way too loud. There’s no dance floor so turn down your fuckin’ music so I can talk! I waited by the bar for about five minutes until I got my drink and there was no one else ordering. The queer ball bartender was choppin’ it up with some other fruity lookin’ guys at the end of the bar and didn’t even acknowledge me. I guess I wasn’t dressed gay enough. This place sucks! Every time I walk by this place going to or coming from the Prince of Wales I always open the door and yell, “Prince of Wales!” then just keep on walking. Here’s a message to the owner... give up before you start feenin’ a shit stab from one of your bartenders.
