After numerous format, manager andcuisine changes, the Gruv Lounge on Tacoma's Sixth Avenue has gone gay, which is the best idea for this spot this rag has heard yet. It's now MetroGruv with the same large dance floor, two VIP rooms with karaoke, stage and lounge area, but it's now gay-friendly.

After opening Aug. 14, Burlesque takes over Wednesday nights. And coming out with a bang, the first show will feature Miss Indigo Blue, The Shanghai Pearl and Inga Ingenue.
