Pretty disappointing that they charged us $20 per person to go into the special event Wuff.. and other friends were charged only $10. Sad that this is the only place in Hartford... surely not coming back, just not worth it to pay a high price to go in, and overpriced drinks.

In Florida we can't even have clowns or drag queens....except for Rhonda Santa's! Count you lucky queer stars. On our way up to Springfield!

It was okay. The night we went, there was a drag competition. The 6 performers were fun, but then the judging began. The 3 judges droned on and on. I timed one set of critiques and they ran for over 7 minutes...twice as long as the performance they were commenting on. They were so aggressive with the critiques that one contestant looked close to tears. We finally decided we had had enough and we left.

Like it here but is a huge bummer they let Chanell go she was always a bright point of being here kind of unbelievable

I am really disappointed their motto is "There's Something For Everyone At The Chez" just I just tried to go and couldn't because they are not handicap accessible. I was really looking forward to going tonight. I guess people with disabilities don't count in their definition of Inclusitivity. Do better!

Amazing talent, no doubt. Ladies, you guys are seriously one of a kind. But Probably one of the worst bars/clubs I've been to. a guy punched a woman in the face and bouncers let the guy inside. Blamed the woman and friends she was with for starting the fight. Did not do anything to reprimand the guy that physically assaulted this woman and actually threatened to call the cops on the woman.

The atmosphere is beautiful. The food is great... portions are reasonable and quite tasty. The associates are kind and engaging.I've watched I believe the owner and I must say I like his energy and style.I'll be back.... definitely a place to think about to get away from it all... if you know what I mean. My toes are in the water; what about yours?

Went on a Saturday night for the drag show and it was great!! So much fun and the bartenders were super nice too which is appreciated!
"Kind of a drag When your baby don't love you" (The Buckinghams) When one of your closest friends invites you to a drag show, you step out of your comfort zone and go! That's what eight of us did today as we headed over to Chez Est for a 90's themed "Brunch in Heels" featuring Loosey Laduca's crew of three singing and dancing drag queens. Loosey was the emcee, had an entertaining patter throughout the show, introduced the performers, and gave a stirring rendition of "the greatest song of the 90's" - My Heart will Go On from Titanic. So what other songs did we hear as the performers danced, did some bone cracking splits, strutted around the stage, and worked the crowd for tips? We heard Lady Marmalade by Li'l Kim, Lose My Breath by Destiny's Child, Let's Get Loud by J Lo, Barbie Girl by Aqua, Groove is in the Heart by Deee-Lite, Donatella by Lady Gaga, and Shoop by Salt-N-Pepa. We even heard a medley of 90's kiddie TV shows including Animaniacs and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The show was very entertaining and included an audience participation segment where birthday boys and girls crashed the stage for a dance-off and a beer chugging competition. Oh, and we also had brunch there -the food menu is very reasonable and ranged from $8 to $12 a plate for eggs, waffles, breakfast tacos and the like. Eight of us ate and drank for $300 including tip. That doesn't include the scores of singles we spent tipping the entertainers. I thought the staff at Chez Est was very accommodating and helped us move and consolidate our two tables so we had a better view of the stage. But even if you sit way in the back, the entertainers strut their stuff throughout the premises to hit every table, and there are a few strategically placed flat screens on the walls showing the stage action. It was quite a fun time.

Chez Est is a gorgeous and friendly establishment. FM Productions with Joey, myself, and Dana host Karaoke on Wednesday nights! We always have a ball and the food and drinks are top notch! One time, there was speed dating right before my Karaoke Show and the gorgeous drag queen hostess kicked off my Karaoke Show with the song Poor Unfortunate Souls from The Little Mermaid and gave me an incredible liftoff for a high energy night and show!!! 5 Star Times ? ????

I've been more than welcome and more than ecstatic everytime I've been. I first went just by myself and everyone was so happy to introduce themselves and get me involved. I've been at least a dozen times since and i will continue to go as long as it's here! ?
