Great safe LGBTQ+ space! 10/10 recommend. Entertainers, bar staff, management, security and owner work hard to make it a space for all to enjoy! Always a double.
Nice place to come..treated with respect from everyone..I own a pleaser store here so I know about treating customers right.
Great gay bar! Friendly people and staff. Nice oasis in a small state with few gay bar options. Warm and nice and clean. Initially not crowded around 7:30 pm but it started popping before the drag show. Overall younger mixed women and male clientele which was nice, but a few of us older men were there.
