I have been to a good number of gay bars, but one thing that I always do is to contact the place prior to going there dressed. I telephone and ask if they are friendly to patrons who are crossdressed. Usually they are and I have not had a negative experience while using this mode of operation. Recently I went to a place that was new to me. I contacted the place and they said that there was no issue. When I arrived there were a lot of people there. I identified my self to one of the staff and she sat with me for a time. I had a positive experience there. Planning and preparation helps to alleviate issues.
