This bar is so wonderful. My buddy has been wanting to take me there since I'd not yet been and we got there right when they opened a little after five and it was just so lovely. The drink I got was so delicious and the staff was so awesome.

I've been going to this bar 1 to 3 times a week, for 2 years now, I have lived in Denver, Ft Lauderdale, Chicago and Atlanta and frequented their gay bars often. I grew up in Wyo so I know what it's like to have to leave home and have to find a good community being queer in a new place.Rbar is by far is one of the worst gay bars I have ever been a regular at. If you're not apart of the local gay click, you don't stand a chance at getting respect from anyone who works at the only gay bar in Northern colorado. They definatly know that and hold it over every queer person who walks in the door.If you go on their karaoke night, be prepared to buy a shot of fire ball and give a 5$ tip if you want, Heather, "there dj" to put you in the rotation. If you show up at 8 and put a song in I hope you're ready by 1:38 am to sing, "it depends on how many of her close friends show up that night." If you ask how long the wait is, be prepared to be scolded at like a petulant child asking when dinners going to be ready. I'm sure if you feed more alcohol and/or money, Heather will consider treating you like you help her pay her bills.Always use the bathroom to the left of the of the bar, the right one is reserved those who partake in a lot of recreational drug use and people who don't spend a hundred dollars a week and bring in their own alcohol in to drink.Most of the staff are cordial, but if you are not a friend, don't expect to be treated with any form of common respect. Don't ever agree to selling art there, unless you are okay with peices being stolen and you're made to feel its your fault for not telling them a peice was stolen sooner. They won't check the cameras and you won't be reimbursed for your work.You would think that a bar that is based around accepting new queer people into the community would be more inviting, but you would be wrong. You are much better going to a bar like Tony's or Pitchers, or The Wisky or the Emporium, or the Irish Pub, or many other great bars foco has to offer. Colorados community is so inclusive and excepting that I have a experiences so many great nights and moments with "straight people," than the jugmental super league of gays who run northern Colorados only gay bar.I know this review sounds like I'm a being a bitter Bettie sort of thing, but I have given this bar so much money and time that I feel my complaints are warranted.

I come from Utah which still has a very small gay bar scene but I've never seen a cover more than $5 there. Came here for 1 night on a Friday A $10 cover for a VERY small venue that maybe fits 40-50 people That's so excessive for a venue like this. The drinks are alright. Very "mixed" crowd. Being the only gay bar in town.. This place would be fun with no cover on maybe a $5 cover. Not worth $10 at all. Plus the drag queens doing "snow" every 10 minutes in the left bathroom doesn't make for a great appearance. Clean it up c*ke wh*re

Their all ages drag brunch is phenomenal. They make it so fun for the kids and performers. The food is good, priced nice, and they have accomodations for everyone.

Extremely friendly atmosphere with alot of character as far as the clientele and employees. Karaoke is always a blast with some very talented people and a friendly photo bombing lady who likes to show up randomly in photos you take ? always a fun timeParking: Parking is primarily anywhere enough can find a spot nearby on the street. This can make it mildly hard to find. Spot but generally it's within a quarter block of the bar.

The people who run this place are true, kind beings. I went in solo (in town visiting family). The drag show was hilarious. The Bartenders were attentive. All round 5 stars. This is the only queer bar in fort Collins, and it honestly doesn’t need any others if this is the standard! Xoxo ?

We went for the La’whore drag show last night and I was floored at the talent. This is a fun friendly queer safe spot in Fort Collins.
