First visit and I will definitely be back, the staff was very friendly, the food and drinks were delicious.

Personally felt very profiled here tbh… as a person of color. Not sure if it was a busy night but it took ten minutes to be asked if we wanted a drink and after just one they handed use a check without asking if we wanted another one. Oh well, maybe we misread the situation <3

I spent a lot of hours at Roscoe's in the late 1900s. It was great to see it still open and thriving!

I came here, looking to have a good meal and unwind and enjoy the atmosphere. But instead, I was greeted halfheartedly at the door and then I was placed on the far side of the bar where no one else was sitting. I felt like the ugly stepchild that no one wanted to talk to. The service was mediocre. The food was OK though just not what I expected.

We had so much fun at the drag brunch 10/5. The ladies did not disappoint with their Taylor Swift songs. Food and Drinks were also excellent. Will definitely be back!

We had the best time during drag brunch while visiting from Arizona, everyone was so welcoming & ate it up with the performances!! Our server Carlos was the BEST, and there couldn’t have been a better host than Batty Davis, she definitely set the vibes for a fun time!🩷

Surprisingly delicious food for a bottomless brunch. Good vegetarian options and everyone was super happy with what they got. Ala carte and bottomless were good deals.

We went to Roscoe's for Drag Brunch on Saturday and had a great time. I had made a reservation for the brunch and will say I was disqappointed to be sat at a table where we hardly could see the show. Each entertainer did make a point to walk over to where we were in the corner and dance a bit so we could see some of the performance. Our server Carlos was very nice and all our food was tasty. I had the mycoprotein wings with fries, my friends ordered the nachos, Mac/chz bites and salad. We enjoyed everything we ordered and felt the portions were appropriate. This was a great activity for a Saturday afternoon.

Warning: review contains sexual assault stories.
I am a gay man writing this with probable lifelong PTSD from bars that were like this and allowed my sexual assault.

Absolutely not a safe bar for men or women. Obviously a bit worse for men in this area, but so many women have told me stories as an advocate for the subject. I’ve witnessed tonight a women being forcefully made out with whom was clearly just too drunk to say no. This was right in the door, by the security guard. I’ve heard stories of roofies, sexual assault in terms of inappropriate, forced touching, and so on too much about this place for me not to get the word out. When I mentioned it to the manager and security guard, they waved me off/hung up on me on the phone when I tried to place my complaint, 100% soberly, as I was protesting. Not drinking.

This is what I would define as a bars job. Public safety in their areas. Being forced to make out with someone while the security guard is inches away, is not how you enforce public safety. This is not a safe bar to go to for anyone male or female. They borderline approve of sexual assault. Be careful if you go there, and know they did not do you a service. Tip lightly.

My husband and I had a fantastic time at Drag Brunch with Tayce this past weekend and can’t wait to get to come back next time we are in town.

The performers and queens were amazing as usual! Our food and drinks were good. The seating system was unusual and, frankly, unfair although I can understand how it's set to help staff. I made a reservation several weeks ahead and got there early in-line for 12pm. We were sat on a 6 top at the furthest corner of the restaurant behind 10 empty tables and little visibility (our table was right behind the busy staff runners station). I am not sure what the system for seating is as some early folks were sat at the front and some intentionally towards the back, I am sure there is a logistical way this is smoother for the staff, but I couldn't tell ya as we asked to move and were told no at first and then moved later. So, come early and you might get a good seat or be tucked away, or come late once the show is 30 min in and you have a better chance of getting front seating! Regardless I am thankful we were ultimately moved because the queens were great and we were able to tip all of them!

The bar is really nice and overall I felt comfortable. The service was friendly, but I had the impression that some of the waiters seemed a bit disinterested. Maybe I didn’t fully understand their role, but at times the friendliness felt somewhat forced. A pity, because the overall atmosphere is otherwise very pleasant.
