Long before the monopoly of Destination, Lotus Blue tried to host some gay events in Houhai area. Because of or despite the owner’s personal taste in men, their waitors once served in skirts, which has not been copied much in a city where there are thousands of bars and restaurants. Although Lotus Blue has lost some of its exclusivity as Lotus Street becomes an increasingly touristy scene, it remains one of the most gay-friendly establishments in the area. And come on, you know you want to eat Thai by the lake in summer.
