When I say hidden treasure I mean exactly that… For years I’ve heard of the Brave Bull, but never had courage to go in alone until this last night. And I’m so happy I did! I’ve passed by it a million times and based on the location I assumed it was just another run down dive bar, but as soon as I walked in I realized that was NOT the case. An ENORMOUS disco ball, colorful lights and decor was just an accessory to the incredible bartenders that lit the place up with their energy. I’ve never been to a place and felt like one of the regulars immediately… They really do a great job of making you feel at home… I got to meet the owner who educated me on how he opened the bar 51 YEARS AGO!! The sweetest bartender made my drinks promptly even though they were crowded and the female bartender gave me some advice on raising cattle (if I ever choose to do so lol). There was an amazing drag show and local art vendors 10/10… I’ve been to other gay bars in the area and I can honestly say this has already become the one I’ll gladly drive an hour to visit. Thank you to the staff for keeping old school bar culture alive!

Great place to go and have fun. It is a gay bar but it's more like a club setting and you can go there and have fun and dance the night away

Went with some coworkers after a long serving shift and honestly the staff were immaculate! When I say service with a smile is an understatement!? One of the bartenders said they didn’t do it for the money, and I believe it! Just found out today they’ve been open 50 years and there’s no wonder why! I can’t wait for the next drag show

have loved this place for years! Always a great time without the drama of being hit on. can actually be yourself without worry. went with my oldest for a drink and a chat. hands down only place we both can agree on. drinks were on fire.
Went here to have a good time and was met with some of the worst service I've ever experienced in my life. The door person was drunk and rude. The drinks were watered down and let's just say a child could make drinks cleaner and faster. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy

Picked up people from here before, and they were immature. Childish clientele, literally. I actively try to avoid this place.
Kid-friendliness: Picked up underage people from there, so yeah, you could say they're kid-friendly.

They don't serve food. But the drinks are strong the queens are hot and the people are always ready for a good time.
