Asking those who have done this: What was your experience going to a gay club alone?

I just moved to a new area where I know little to no people. So while this is a new experience, I am looking for other gay people like me to become friends with. Meeting people off of Grindr, Growlr, and what not are a purely sexual experience, so I am looking for something more.Any kind of experience you could share would be super helpful!
