Paid cover for a very underwhelming experience. I wanted to get a cup of water for my friend and had to pay $3.50 for bottled water. You would think a bar would be more than okay with giving out tap water for free...

It’s a gay club so I love it for that! But it needs some serious evolving.STOP charging people preemptively for coat check. I got charged for a SWEATER!ADD more queer women to staff and shows.UPDATE your upstairs Saturday DJ. The strobing lights could be turned way down too.

Split level LGBTQ club with good music on the weekends. The drag show we saw was great!
Aaron Steenkamer
I went twice and the drag shows were great but its 90% cis women in the crowd and one night they kept coming up with bills in their mouths trying to dance with the queens, who would steer them aside in a friendly way. It wasn't ladies night or anything either night. Maybe a night specifically for gay/non gender conforming folks would be good.

New owners have it open Friday and Saturday. Atmosphere has changed, they've gotten rid of a lot of their regular entertainers, and it's giving me straight bar vibes. Not a fan.

Wonderful staff that are helpful in uncomfortable situations however, over the last year the typical twisted night has involved a lot more older creepy straight(?) men assaulting groups of young women. The staff are always extremely helpful, understanding and quick to kick them out however it still ends up ruining the night. This bar is slowly becoming less and less of a safe space for queer women. Twisted is doing all they can to stop this from happening and I don’t know what the solution is. I am slowly feeling the queer community become less and less of a community and individualism take over.

My first drag show!! Took the Sunday Brunch!!! So great! Loved the performances!!! Great weekend experience ?the queens of the day were Angelina Starchild, Avanna Kedavra, DOGIICHOW, Rip Em and Dani Phantom. Can’t wait to be back ‼️
This club does not feel like a safe space for LGBT people. The club is invaded by straight women and their sulky boyfriends. It’s not okay to let herds of straights into our spaces. And shame on all those straight women who want “to dance with the gays”! We are not your pets and you are not our allies when you objectify and tokenize us.

Hello, tonight I went to a drag show, AND you have Violet & Gottmik what? Awful, empty bar, and these drag queens are amazing.When a name brand of drag race can't bring a croud in Calgary, the Calgary queer community should be embarrassed. This over charged show should not be blamed on the performers, however the promotion was terrible. #emptybar. Does the cast of Drag race really deserve this? Is this bar the right location? I'm tired of this played out space that has let me dwn every time since 2017. "Disappointment" has been the front performer of this location for far to long. WE SHOUOD NOT SETTLE, Calgary needs and deserves a better queer space/club, we have so much talent in this city. Call me when you really want to capture a market. Fail after fail, there is a STRONG community and you clearly miss it every time. The crowd got less and less every song. I want to apologize on behalf of the folks of Calgary to the Drag Race folks.

I come here frequently, and have never had an unpleasant time with staff or patrons. Bathrooms are clean, staff is friendly and helpful, and the music is always good! I've come here alone, with friends, and always have a blast! Great gay bar in Calgary. Haven't tried the food yet, but I can't imagine it's anything less than great! 10/10 would recommend. Thanks for a great time every time Twisted!!

Went here on a Saturday night and had an amazing time. The drag show was incredible, the venue and the atmosphere was really nice and clean. The bouncer and all the staff were really kind. The drinks were good and not watered down.
