You've been known to sniff out the best sales, the latest trends and can even tell, in an instant, if the guy you met last night is date-worthy material or just another hot mess. Yes, you're a veritable bloodhound of your urban gay terrain.

Which is why making the trek down to Bloodhound (opening tonight) might be right up your alley. Brought to us by the guys behind The Ambassador/Double Dutch, this new SOMA spot is not your typical, high-design haunt. In fact, it's down right butch. Antler and antique Edison chandeliers hang over a 30ft wood grain bar surrounded by scads of old Field & Stream posters and a slew of reclaimed redwood communal tables.

And, if bellying up to the bar isn't exactly your speed, you can kick back back in one of their leather club chairs and sip on a Bloodhound No. 1, their signature concoction of vodka, Campari and grapefruit. You'll also find a short list of Belgian brews you can slug on in between playing their Big Buck Hunter arcade game and shooting pool under a canopy of antlers. You can almost smell the Stetson.

Yes, Bloodhound is a welcome rustic retreat in a city that is, well...anything but.
