I wanted to get a feel for what kinda of bars they were hanging out at- that is sole reason for what follows ! Gives one an idea of the "evening". From whatI can ascertain - looks like they were in the mood for places where chatting is easy (not screaming at one another, probably can two chairs together - not all that cruisy - wanted to chat with one another, without being bothered by getting cruised/flirty etc
There are all kinds of gay bars in categories basically. These sound like sweeping sterotypes it is what it is. -
They do have strong implications - generally for the night you are wanting .

You have Twink bar (young),
neighborhood (typically older/working folks)
Stripper as it sounds
Troll - older guys looking for young guys-- the young guys typicaaly go in looking for old guys to buy them drinks while the old guys hope buyting them drinks will get the Twink to sleep with them!
Cruise bar (as it sounds hunting for sex)
Dive bar - trashy / sex/ dirty/dark
Piano - as it sounds /couples
Bear - older, chunky guys with lots of body hair
Huge dance ( dance, lights, loud music , cant really talk to one another, hard core drugs (extasy stuff like that) typically, lots of guys that love the gym - dance without shirts, often no body hair, basically want to compare their muscles with one another !!!! etc,)
Metro sexual - real groomed, very dressed, can be snooty and judgemental , think Vanity Fair after party at the Oscars deal !
MIxed twinks/drag queens/hetero/dance etc etc
Lesbian
