The Jackhammer, Huntington’s newest gay nightspot, gets high marks from the Pride crew.  We were there for the Fur Ball, sponsored by the Bear Men of West Virginia, and a fabulous time was had by all.  Located at 2127 Manchester Ave, The Jackhammer features two floors (pool tables downstairs, dance floor upstairs, bars on both) and a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.  The staff couldn’t be more friendly and there’s never a cover charge, although you do have to be 21 to get in.  Be sure to visit them on myspace to learn about their upcoming events and nightly specials.

On June 6, as part of Pride Week, The Jackhammer will be playing host to the 2009 Mr. West Virginia Bear Contest, also sponsored by the Bear Men of WV.  Preliminaries will be held May 15 in Charleston and May 30 in Huntington.  Click here for details. We hope to see you all there!
