This place is awesome! All the people including the customers were so kind. And Ethan is the best worker I've ever known. I work with a lot of people and he was the friendliest person in such a long time. Give him a raise!!! Thank you Ethan for your wonderful personality and hospitality! You're an amazing human. I mean that!

Best place for birthdays. Old school pony style. IFYKYK

Well where do I begin. There are many things wrong with this bar, for starters the name itself for being a "gar bar" sounds like something from the hood. The second which I do not understand is paying to get in and you get a wrist band but once out you have to pay again which is crazy. Third why charge for water? If it was in a bottle it would make sense but for tap that's ridiculous. The last thing and the most important thing was the music........ the music was so bad, so cringy it was hard to drink and yet alone dance. There was no one on the dance floor. The vibe was like going to a regular bar, with a mash up of remixes of old music, it was like listening to the radio after hours which lets face it nobody listens to or likes, no wonder gay people don't go there. Overall YIKES!!!

Had a wonderful time visiting here New Year's Eve 2023. The drag show was phenomenal, the atmosphere and clientele were welcoming and accepting.

we had SOO much fun last Halloween party and we're looking forward to this year.Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. I probably lost my keys and wallet 3 times that night ( I know) but each time they were returned to the bar and or found on the floor after everyone left.10/10 recommend for a fun night out.

Service gets worse every time I come in. Sometimes I’m standing at the bar for 5-10 minutes before a bartender even shows up. first we had to get our own menus and then we let them know we we’re waiting to make a food order and another 10 minutes go by waiting while I can count the customers on my hands alone. It’s not busy. It’s almost like the workers don’t want to give you service.

Dance floor 9/10 because it is huge and the lighting is awesome! Music 1/10. Outdated and doesn’t make you want to move. Drinks were weak *though cheap* 2/10. Would say it has been majority male the times I have gone. Better luck at Night Deposit as a female looking to dance with a female

First time going. Person taking tickets is amazing. People behind the bar amazing. Great crowd. Music isn't my my taste but i was able to enjoy myself anyways. Honestly had great time. Thankyou ^-^

Went there a few weeks ago for the drag show and had a blast. We have even come back for two more drag performances. They really interact with the audience. And the staff are friendly and the drinks are well made.

Bartender was so so sweet— definitely older demographic but fun for karaoke. Great drinks and food!

I've been going there for several years, and I love the place. The owners are friendly, the staff are so welcoming and helpful they make you feel right at home. They have a fantastic Tuesday evening steak special, and the overall menu is very good. I've seen some reviews from others who throw shade on the place but all I can say is "this is NOT Los Angeles! Go home!" And I organize group dinner events and the kind folks at the Speakeasy always roll out the red carpet for us. Keep it going!
