Still drawing into his ninth decade, Payne is an artist with collectors all over the world.
ADONIS GAY BAR FULL
Drawing out of his prodigious imagination, he creates powerful images, presenting the inner emotions of his subjects to full view. But the high standard and consistency of his drawing style have created a cult following among aficionados of male art. His drawings are openly pornographic, depicting the sexual action in the stories he was illustrating. At first he signed his drawings with a pseudonym, then with his first name and, later still, openly signing them with his full name (if he wants to). But always he had a secret sideline in illustrating stories in American gay magazines. We look forward to continually growing along with our fan base as we endeavor to provide the best M4M show for our devoted followers, fans, patrons and overall audience.PLEASE DO NOT SCROLL DOWN TO VIEW THESE DRAWINGS IF YOU ARE LIKELY TO BE OFFENDED BY IMAGES OF HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVITYĪrtist and illustrator Roger Payne made his regular living by illustrating books and magazines for schools and universities, companies and local authorities. With the recent move to our own larger club, the future looks bright for Adonis and we embrace our role as a permanent fixture in the gay community in NYC and beyond. We always aim to provide a fun and safe respite from the stresses of daily life the best way we know how…lots of HOT guys! Adonis Lounge has emerged as the #1 M4M strip club in NYC and gained recognition nationally as one of the industry leaders in this genre of male entertainment. Adonis also maintains a regular and “solid” presence in the always-wild Black Party, as well as becoming one of the recent highlights of NYC’s annual Gay Pride Parade.Īdonis’s vision has remained the same since our humble beginnings.
Adonis Lounge also co-promotes large scale NYC events such as Rentboy’s famed Hustlaball, serving as the official pre-party for the event. Whatever your style or flavor, Adonis is guaranteed to have it in stock, and jock. Our diversity and range cover everything from All-American Muscle Jocks, to hot Latinos, twinks, Russians, Brown Sugar, and even Muscle Bears. But perhaps one of our biggest assets, and we certainly have some big ones, is that we have a unique and bountiful spring of dancers representing almost every continent and ethnicity.
We maintain a steady stream of talent from places like Atlanta, Miami, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and even Montreal just to name a few. In addition to the many special guests and porn stars appearing regularly, Adonis actively recruits the top dancers from all over the country and internationally as well. The full list is always growing and expanding, just like other things within the lounge…and of course within the champagne rooms… Recent evenings at Adonis Lounge have featured mega stars such as Zeb Atlas, Marcus Mojo, Jeremy Walker, and Vin Marco. Adonis employs a show format, which allows us to focus on those three nights weekly, while regularly featuring the adult industry’s top porn stars, escorts, and special guests. These days Adonis operates twice a week, every Wednesday, & Saturday, with “Pop-Up” party nights, offering a stage show featuring 30 dancers, full bar, lap dances and champagne rooms. After one year, the opportunity arose to move Adonis into Manhattan. Even so, a short time later the party was launched weekly and those few who kept us afloat in the early days knew they were part of something special, unlike any other club in the country. Although a buzz had begun to emerge from a small bar in Brooklyn, many customers were not willing to make the trip outside the confines of Manhattan. After 6 months, only due to the support of a few loyal patrons who believed in our vision, Adonis launched a second night each month. Adonis Lounge began in October of 2010 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn as a small once monthly event.
