I went to this venue for a birthday gathering.. in ordering drinks from the bartender who handed me my receipt without my card and tried to kick me out when I confronted the bartender. You know it’s bad when the bouncer tells you to refuse all the charges.. I will NEVER VISIT THIS VENUE AGAIN.. and if you decide you visit this establishment USE CASH!!!!

It used to be classier. Or my colleagues and I used to think we were classier for being here and drinking martinis. Either way. Everyone feels cosmopolitan with a martini-shaped glass with olives in it.

I loved the show very festive

I enjoyed the Drag Brunch here but only because of the show. The food was bad and ran out way before everyone had eaten, the drinks were bad, and the place is just okay. The show was good though and the drag queens were great.

Went here for the 1st time the show was fabulous andthe food was alright, the mimosa's were ok u only get 2per ticket if you're there with a party. Now for the space it wasn't very big so you had to make do. The place had no air conditioning and that was very disappointing.

Food was pretty good. The process to get in the spot for this brunch sucked. Unprofessional peeps running things. Once we finally got in the spot we had a good time. Music is loud. Don't expect to be able to hold conversation at table.

Last week is the 3rd time I’ve attended Dirty Martini drag brunch. The food is always good and I love the mac and cheese. The show is one of the best Ive seen. I will be back again for the 4th time for my mom’s birthday.

I would have given the venue 5 stars, but it was extremely hot. Not sure if the air conditioning was broken but it was over 90F yesterday. Likewise, although the first level was good, the elevator was broken, and the bathrooms were small making the venue not very accessible for those who use assistive devices, like a wheelchair.

Blah brunch, the show was pretty good. It would be better if there were more acts.

This Place has ROACHES. I went here for brunch on Sunday 11/18/2018 and was highly upset with the service I received. There were literally roaches in the shot glasses and Pitchers of our drinks and it didn’t happen just once, it was THREE times. Honestly I don’t even think they check their dishes before they serve them. Plus on top of that we had a whole reservation for 3 and didn’t get seated until 3:45 and we arrived 15 mins early. The people that handle the front are terrrible and they have horrible customer service and the treat people like they are so much better than regular people when they are only hostess and club promoters. Thank God we received a refund and I will NEVER be going here again I just thought somebody should know that this place is DIRTY just like the name.

Dirty Martini is such a fitting name. This place is FILTHY! Our champagne glasses were so dirty they just rinsed them with water and didn’t wash them it looked like a leaf was in one of the glasses. The mimosas were TRASH there was nothing but juice in the pitchers. I didn’t even get a buzz. The food was great but the plates were dirty as well. Not to mention we had a reservation of 1pm for a party of 7 and everyone didn’t arrive till at least 1:30. When we were seated upstairs they said the food wasn’t ready and we waited till about 2pm to request to be moved downstairs. The day party was cool the DJ was great but I will never return to this place.

No A/C in July made this experience less enjoyable. Food was good and the venue was cute. I went for the Brunch Day party.

A bar with a very good happy hour. Dirty Martini serves drinks in case you didn't know. These range from low end to high end stuff. It also has a small food menu. Mostly fried stuff. Be sure to go at happy hour. Beer is cheap and so are cocktails. These are $5 for most beer, and wells. It also has some food. This is mostly meaty fried stuff. It's mostly the seafood variety, like calamari and crab. There's not much to get for vegetarians. If you're looking for a good martini you can find it here. It seems like a nice place. Most people here are dressed casually though.

I used to love this place for HH and brunch, so when I booked a wedding venue near this location, I figured it was perfect for my welcome happy hour. I reached out to via email and the manager Jason emailed me back and called me immediately. We talked about reserving the second floor and catering options. Within 2 weeks I booked the location for my wedding weekend. A month before we did a walkthrough of the space, talked about music, bartenders and layout of the 2nd floor. Everything was set. Fast forward to the WEEK BEFORE MY WEDDING, my fiance emails to follow up and give him the headcount for the event because that is what Jason requested we do. He told us to inform him of our headcount the week of event. We email him our final details and he responds stating that he is unsure if his business is even going to be open next week and it's best if we find somewhere else to host our event and then decided to add smiley emojis at the end of the emails. What in the world?! This set my fiance OFF! He also said in the email that he would offer to help us find another venue. My fiance responds and says this is unacceptable and unprofessional. We had to reach out to you (multiple times) to re-confirm and then when you do get back to us you tell us that we need to find another location. We sent Jason a total of 3 emails after he told us we couldn't come and he would help us find a new location. He never responded. We called the location, no response and no answer. This place is so unprofessional and I will never spend a dime here ever again. I would always suggest this place for Happy Hour to friends from out of town and never again will I do this. We were bringing upwards of 120 people to this venue. That is business that they are losing out on all because of the unprofessional and unorganized place they call a business.
