The drinks are fun and delicious. Service is usually a bust. Unless you are a friend of the bartender you will often have to wait quite a while. Food is ok. It can be loud and crowded but it feels safe.

After reading several reviews , I felt compelled to share my observations. It is disheartening to note the recurring descriptive patterns of behavior highlighted by numerous patrons. As someone from the lower 48, my typical weekend routine involved visiting gay bars and enjoying drag performances, which never failed to impress. I have had the pleasure of frequenting gay clubs in various cities, including Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis, and Des Moines, and I treasure the fond memories. That being said, it is disappointing, embarrassing, and pathetic that your establishment fails to operate at a satisfactory level. Your continued operation is largely attributed to your location in a remote city and state. It is pertinent to consider the potential consequences of another gay club opening in the area. Clearly, managing a toxic environment is a challenge, and it is unlikely that you will take the time to review this feedback, given your apparent lack of concern. I would like to address the community and visitors: not all gay clubs and bars are akin to Mad Myrna's; in fact, most establishments serve quality drinks and food, feature engaging music, and maintain a welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff, devoid of hostility and racism towards patrons. It is essential to acknowledge that your club remains operational primarily due to the limited options available to the LGBTQ2SIA community in this area. I foresee a decline in your establishment's viability in the future.
It was my first time here and I had a friend who had never gone to a club before so we were excited. We were confused from start to finish though. We didn't realize the door fee was cash, which we were totally fine with, it is just that their ATM wasn't working. We asked the lady in the front who was checking people in that we were here for the drag show and if the tables were open seating. She said yes go right on in and sit yourself. But then we got moved twice and then told the tables are reserved, and cost $15 each to pay after the waitlist. We of course obliged and were apologizing, we felt horrible for stealing people's tables. Then we got kicked out after my friend fell. I am actually appreciative of that, she was rather drunk and we really needed to get her home. I just wish the place was friendlier and the staff took better care of the guests. Everyone we spoke with from the staff felt hostile. It was all the small interactions that added up quickly. The performers were fabulous!! Overall a mixed review.

Came for the drinks, loved the friendly service and stayed for some absolutely travelicious food. Auf Wiedersehen! We’ll be back soon. Mad Mario Pizza and the Mac’n Cheese with bacon are YUMMY and big enough to share with friends.

If you're visiting Anchorage (like I was!), this is THE gay bar to go to.
They have it all! (1) outdoor space with bonfires and games (massive jenga and connect 4!), (2) awesome AWESOME drag shows, like NYC calibre, (3) dance floor/area, and (4) food! You may never leave.
And, quite befittingly, the entrance is in the rear, not the front street.

Absolutely horrid experience. Bartenders and servers were great to work with - but security/door staff were atrocious. Had a friend who tried to bring water out for another friend who was very ill, and was borderline assaulted by security for trying to bring (paid for) water bottles out. This happened multiple times, with no explanation, until a member of security followed us to our car and continued to verbally harass us. Allegedly, there's a no drink in or out policy - however this was never made clear from the beginning (otherwise we would've left it at that) and not posted anywhere. Very rude staff.

This is a place to skip. Used to be fun but it has become clear if you associate with anyone that management or their friends do not like, you will be 86'd from the bar with no cause and no warning. The owner will also delete bad reviews and then if you manage to leave anything but a sparkling review you are berated by Myrna employees and their friends publicly on their page. They discriminate based on whatever they feel like for the night. Just reading the reviews from the last few weeks there has been discrimination from staff and management based on race, nationality, and disability. The bar itself used to be so much fun and inclusive and now you can't go without being sexually assaulted on the dance floor by straight men. I loved the facelift this place got after the pandemic but they do not care about patrons anymore. Any business that readily sends it's friends and staff to berate reviewers does not deserve your business. I really hope things start to change back to the inclusivity we had when Myrna was running the bar. Extremely unprofessional owner.
