The night and day of gay bars. Detour is set up like a traditional neighborhood bar on one side: well lit, some cool music, a small stage, two pool tables, lots of seating. Expect mostly men, and some older ones at that. The other side is a leather bar that's dark and gothic even at high noon during Gay Pride festivities on Central. Special and regular events abound at Detour, and the club offers regular karaoke nights and drag queen shows. During St. Petersburg's annual Pride event, this bar is a madhouse of activity.
