Go for the drag and eat if you’re hungry. Nachos were really good and the meatballs were tasty but not spicy.

You're victim to the whims of whichever funployee happens to pay attention. 11 year old can walk in off the street and watch a drag show with alcohol all over the place and everyone can take their drink outside during intermission but the entire "community" will turn on you so fast it'll make youe head spin if you express any opinion other than what the school of mindless angry fish is currently thinking. Stay away at all costs if you're trying to find somewhere inclusive to beling. It's a bar.Kid-friendliness: Yeah I guess kids can come in a midnight so kid friendly?

This is one of the worst gay bars I've ever been to. The alcohol is very expensive. They have no beer on tap. They have no good drinks. They only have drag shows and there are very few opportunities to dance. While the mediocre drag shows are somewhat enjoyable, it would be great if they ended at 12 or 1 and they opened up the dance floor for people to dance until close rather than for 5 minutes in between sets. Bathrooms also need some fixing. As the night progresses, there is almost no water pressure. Sometimes there is no water in fact because pressure is so low. This must violate some sort of public health rule. It can be so bad that you are unable to flush the toilets. This also happens at Grapevine, run by the same owner. This bar has so much potential and it's disappointing to see this potential wasted. Please get better alcohol and provide more opportunities to dance.

We had a night out in a few bars last Saturday night. We heard that the bar relocated to a new venue in the last few years so my boyfriend and I decided to check it out.Friendly service at the door, but the 6$ cover seemed a bit pricey since we didn't pay to go in any other bars that night. Nice bartender and server as well.The place is a great size, not too small, not too big.The music was strictly Top 40's or throwback Top 40's with no mixing at all (as if anyone could just pop in cd's), had no originality and made us leave after our one and only beer to find somewhere more fun, we did.Hope this place will get better over time and that they will find a new DJ.
