Deja Vu is the mainstream gay club in San Jose. This club came HEAVILY recommended by quite a few friends who have had "good luck" there in the past. Several of these friends are not people I'd consider to be "good-looking," but they always managed to take SEVERAL very attractive boys home with them.

I had no such luck.

I was impressed to find such a high-tech club in a country that seems to be technologically backwards. The music was great, the lights and dancefloor were excellent.

My lack of Spanish was a major drawback. For instance, there is only one bar that has liquor, all the others only have beer. It took me several minutes to understand this.

Also, after paying your cover charge (ONLY in local currency, don't try to pay in US dollars) you are given a ticket which gets you a free drink. I surrendered the ticket to the bartender when I got my first beer. When I tried to buy another, the bartender said I needed a ticket. I went to the entrance to buy another and the guy said I already had mine. I went back and the bartender said I needed a ticket. I said, "I have no ticket. I want to PAY!" I showed him some money. He made the drink and pushed it at me and I said, "How much?" and he looked at me like one of us was stupid. Finally I forced him to take $2, though he looked at me funny the whole time.

EVIDENTLY the cost of entry into the club INCLUDES all your beverages, but since I don't speak Spanish, I can't tell for sure. What I DO know is that everyone constantly had drinks, I never saw anyone pay for them, and that bartender sure looked at me funny when I tried to pay.

The boys at Deja Vu are typical Central American gay boys . . . GORGEOUS! And they can DANCE!!! I could have spent the whole evening just watching the boys on the dance floor.

Like I said, I went home alone, but that could be because I was with my friend Justin who looks vaguely Latino. Perhaps they all thought I was spoken for. Numerous friends of all ages, sizes, and looks have always seemed to take home one or MORE cuties from this club, though, so perhaps you'll have better luck than I.

It was a fun experience, great club, great music, but a little Spanish would make this a much better experience.
