On the other hand, from an inside perspective, I cannot count the endless amount of men I had to filter to get to the team of quality individuals I have today. For one, it was blindly going in and working with bars that ended up very disrespectful, only wanted their way and clearly didn’t see eye to eye with me and my vision.
#Anvil gay bar phoenix trial
I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the work and the team I have now, but there were definite times of trial throughout our journey.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome? Soon after, other bars latched on to my vision and the rest is history. The “Dirty Daddies” comprised of men in their 30’s, 40’s and 50’s was born and it was a huge success.

If I bring one night that is different from all the other nights in all the bars I will pack the house. That was my opportunity to test my theory. The bar where I got my start in the industry now known as “Anvil Bar” had asked if we, the bartenders, could come up with ideas to make our nights more profitable. I decided to protect my investments by forming an L.L.C: WMW was born. Bring the community the sexiest, most personable men of all ages and types. I felt that although men in their 20’s brought in a large crowd on their own, it only pertained to one demographic and the potential for making maximum profits at these bars was limited. I felt that limited the potential to bring patrons into the clubs. The bars were invested, logically, managing their business, but there was no clear entity that selectively hired, trained and managed the dancers to be professionals.įurthermore, I noticed all the dancers were young. Getting into the exotic dance industry in bars I saw there was a need for direction/organization. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.īeing a professional modern dancer in AZ did not make ends meet, so I got into bartending and exotic dancing in gay bars to make extra money. Today we’d like to introduce you to Emilio Minto.Įmilio, let’s start with your story.
