I am graduating from med school/residency and the VA in WV has made me a very good offer because, using their own words, "nobody wants to move here."

I think living in WV would be nice but, as a gay male, am wondering if there is any type of gay (professional) community, gay bars, et cetera there..


Thanks in advance

Ask GHO, as he is our resident expert...last year of college and has seen the scene...

I think their might be a gay bar in Morgantown, but Pittsburgh is right up the road...Cleveland a little farther...Columbus and DC over the hills...

There are actually two gay bars in the Morgantown area. Vice Versa is the biggest/main bar which is located downtown, there is also a bar called Wezzies in Star City. If you get bored of that scene you can always hit up a breeder bar.. ha ha or head down to Charleston or Huntington for other gay bars. I'll give you links to their sites so you can check them out. I've never actually been out in Charleston but in Huntington... well they don't even ID me anymore.. ha ha Just about every town of decent size has at least one gay bar in it... Elkins even has Journeys to an extent. Huntington has Stonewall Club, Jackhammer, Polo Club, and the Thirsty Whale is an alternative bar that is gay friendly.

Morgantown's Bars
Vice Versa - Where the Fabulous People Party
WEEZIE,S PUB & CLUB â„¢ | MySpace (more of a lesbian bar)

Huntington's Bars
The Stonewall Club - StonewallClub.com Tri-States premier gay dance Show bar
The Jackhammer (JAckhammer CLub) | MySpace - myspace.com/thejackhammerclub (mostly a male bar, has WV's only dark room) if thats anything to be proud of....lol
The Polo Club
Thirsty Whale

Charleston Clubs
Broadwaywv
MySpace - The Tap Room - 58 - Male - Charleston, West Virginia - myspace.com/chastaproom
MySpace - www.myspace.com/117198388

Generally speaking the best gay scenes are in Huntington and Morgantown due to us college kids.. we just don't care... ha ha Charleston also has a small pride festival and parade during the summer and next summer we are working on starting one here in Huntington. So its not all that bad for gays here, its not great mind you, but take your piece. Help change peoples attitudes and misconceptions. Hope I was of some help!!!
