Great place to be and enjoy, they send out promotional emails for birthdays and NEVER reply to them. It's kind of strange that they offer something to have a good night for, and don't have the means to follow-up. I've tried twice, once for my own birthday and once for a friend's. First time they didn't respond until weeks after, and the second time they responded, and never followed-up after I answered their initial questions.

This place is an absolute blast on Thursday nights. They have Drag Queen bingo where you can win prizes and drag queens perform throughout the night. Food is decent for bar food but you’re not coming here for the food. I simply adore all the queens who work here.Excellent customer service BTW by servers and management. If you’re having a birthday or bachelorette party, do it here. Street parking is easy.

Incredibly fun bar with great energy and friendly patrons. I've been to a lot of drag shows, but never have I ever been so impressed. Very diverse and talented group of drag Kings and Queens who are dedicated to their craft. The fact that some of the performers are classically trained really took the show up several notches. They really get the audience involved in the show, so you stay engaged, and on designated nights, the audience gets to cast a vote for their favorite performer. They have decent bar food, kitchen stays open pretty late, the drinks are great, and it's a nice touch that they offer specials named after the performers! It's a great date night or friends night out option. I'll definitely be a repeat customer. They have paid street parking out front, no issues with it being over run and there's an on site ATM and QR codes for tipping in case you forgot case to tip the acts.

Was not informed when food was delivered so it was cold when I got it. The order of cheese curds is pretty small for the price. The chicken was also pretty dry and bland. I've eaten here before so I know it's good but this experience wasn't up to par

Great spot. If you live in the area, do yourself a favor and check this place out!Went tonight to watch a friend perform in a play (Clash on Clark is the quaint venue upstairs) This place is exactly the type of space that you want in Chicago. Local Arts... food, drinks, welcoming staff on all levels. Chicago, you know what we've been missing in the past few years and this place is picking it up.

Food and atmosphere is nice for a local type of karaoke and show bar. 1 star because the Caucasian bartender at the front bar took 2-3 shots with his friends and vaped while we were the only other customers in the bar waiting to close out. Had to walk up to the bar for help, but he ignored and proceeded to socialize. When his tip reflected the awful service, he followed us outside the bar and called out an insult. He was probably drunk, beyond unprofessional and rude. Too bad because I’m local and would’ve given the place lots of business, but that staff member completely deterred me from ever stepping foot in there again.

Waited awkwardly at the bar for 10 minutes while the bartender in the vikings jersey vaped and texted and ignored me. Hard pass.
