The club is great! I was worried it would be too small but I thought it was a great size and vibe. The show was awesome and we had a great time. Only thing negative I can say is maybe the songs for dancing couldve been a bit better (a lot of older stuff was being played) but still

All right guys, I'm a straight white male and I came with my wife and my two sisters. From the get-go, I was harassed and bullied by all of the drag queens. And I loved every second of it. If you're open minded, youll like this place.

The DJs are a bit basic & could play more current of music. Staff is friendly enough.Shouldn’t be afraid to play more current hip hop/R&B and EDM music.

STOP. EXPLORING. QUEER. PEOPLE. We watched the bar tender water down drinks multiple times. Great vibes, but they literally add water to the drinks. It's not just a rumor.

Walked in the door and knew I was home. Great music, atmosphere and staff. I've never felt more comfortable anywhere. Real talk. Do yourself a favor and catch a show.

Awesome bar with a great atmosphere! Visiting from NJ for work and this bar ranks up there with bars you would find in NYC or Philly! Stephanie at the front door is AMAZING! So warm and welcoming to my husband and myself. I highly recommend!

Would be fine if it wasn’t a $10 cover. Mostly empty. Attractive space with ok dancing. Drinks are a little pricey.

I love the staff of birdcage, I'm not sold on the new location, not because of how it's looks, buts it's just so far from everything else. My real problem is with the DJ on 9.2 he played the same club back beat for every song with no variation. It was terrible to dance to and enjoy. If this is the same next time I'm here I probably won't be back.

Cute new spot, but the layout is hella awkward for drag shows. There’s like room for 25 people close to the stage and the queens don’t even get out to the rest of the bar crowd. Really odd. I wanted to tip but they didn’t even come out around the bar. Also, please consider rethinking the plexi-glass and tv blocking the view of the stage. That was a choice

Someone mentioned that “this place takes the cake”. Saturday at midnight empty and bartender downstairs was rude. I asked for some water in the bar and they are not allowed by management to give up tap water. Even if you pay for your drinks. The exact response was “go to the fountain to get it”

Well a friend and I wanted to check out the new location but when we got in they were asking for $10 cover charge I thought cover charge stopped back in the 90's so unfortunately my buddy and I felt never got to experience the new club how sad but we went over to "Bloom" and had a fantastic time and WOW some fabulous drag shows and male strippers then went to old faithful Main Event.
