I absolutely love coming here. Being a woman in a straight bar can be a little uncomfortable sometimes. Being here, I feel so comfortable and safe. Consent is EVERYTHING here. I can be myself and not worry about who has something to say about it. I've met so many wonderful people here. Including the amazing and fun bartender (we'll call her A) If A sees that you're uncomfortable, she'll step in no hesitation. The atmosphere is laid back, chill, accepting and just over all fun and a stress relief. I'd recommend this place to anyone I meet or want to take there for some fun, especially during the amazing drag shows they have Thurs-Sun!! Definitely worth a visit!

Everyone was nice but make sure your pronouns are on place some of the staff can be very upset about it when actually it's doesn't come from a bad place.. At the same time you can't expect everyone to knows what's your pronouns are you go by start for teaching than getting mad. Good drag show.

Great place to be. Amanda and Roxie are A+ staff. Been going since the previous owner/management. Glad to see a queer establishment is still thriving after all these years and during these times.

This bar is an absolute delight. Always a fun and positive atmosphere, welcoming everyone in the community. The bartender/manager Amanda, truly cares about the bar, environment, safety, and fun everyone is having. It’s clean, safe, and a fun place to be any night of the week. If you haven’t been here, you’re missing out.

Friendly atmosphere!!!! Staff is delightful!! Nikkie makes amazing drinks!!! Love the fact they do karaoke on Mondays!! Wish they would change it to like Tuesday or Wednesday cause that's my normal day off! Been here only three times and everytime I've been inside it's been very clean and bartenders are a delight!
PROS:✅ Good drink prices✅ Friendly, welcoming atmosphere✅ Fun entertainment✅ Card AcceptedCONS:❌ Small parking lot (I got there early, had no issue)

Good vibes and drinks but you need better music like give me different alternatives not just techno but , rock, r&b,rap, pop like it’s annoying and literally it’s one person dancing because they’re either drunk or on something. This is not edc in Vegas we not on drugs and even if we are it’s still not giving !!!!! Love the music but put some different s/&2@ on!!!!

I am 100% honest person. A bartender named Amanda could not find her phone. She then called it. It was in the side of my purse. I would NEVER in a million years put in there. I asked them to watch the video to see who it could have been. They said they were too busy. That they didn’t care “accidents happen”. I am not that person to make an “accident” this was planted. Taking a good person and making them look guilty, how sick is this. Look at cameras.

Have visited this bar two nights and enjoyed both visits. One was on a calm night and the other on a very busy holiday night. Both nights the employees were very friendly and welcoming! Can’t wait to come support this business again!
Great community, lots of open space inside.
