The Welcoming Atmosphere is like no other... This Great Grandmother is treated with respect and I totally enjoy myself each time I'm there. Rather there's a show or just a Socializing Night, I feel Welcome. I have two friends that are begging me to take them there.. Now that I'm feeling better, they will soon get their wish...

Some locals will claim this is an unofficial gay bar or an official gay bar it's neither of those. There drinks or subpar and overpriced and the music is a travesty

its nice to finally have a queer space back in CU. if you, however, are looking for a new C Steet, this ain't it and you need to change your perspective. Nothing will ever be C Street, but this isn't bad. its definately welcoming to our community, they have creatively themed shows, and a decently sized dance area. the biggest qualm I share with many others is that the drinks are overpriced and from my personal experience, the house cocktails have never been good. Marketing could also stand to improve. Other than that, if you are looking for a space to mingle with other queer people and see some amazing local and not so local talent, this is a great place.

Soooo much potential as a venue i love the vibe extremely queer friendly but you need to get you a new dj stat how are you gonna have brat summer posted on your door and not play a single Charlie song or anything that came out after 2015.then the drinks yall need a new cocktail menu especially for the prices yall charge those are some mid drinks...edit July 2025 music is still trash

Beautiful Interior for a nice date night. Drinks were all delicious. Back club room was perfect dinners to dance although the dj taste in music would be akin to wasted white girl 90s pop?

First time here was for NYE and we had a great time! Drinks, music, and atmosphere were all on point. Also $10 cover for NYE was super reasonable.
