Came here for the 7:30 show and this place truly is a gem! Very kind and attentive staff. The show is absolutely amazing, don't want to give too much away but you're in for a special treat! I love drag so much and have been to various places but this one is different in the variety and diversity. The venue itself is clean though I felt chilled so bring a sweater in case! Also the drinks were a little bit of a miss and the food menu is limited so don't plan on dinner but they offer brunch so I'll be returning for that. Overall, great time!

Nice place with good food. The green beans are immaculate as well as the catfish. Nothing but good vibes when you walk in. They take of you! Will be going back.

Fun gay burlesque show which seems to happen once per month. Day after Valentines so perhaps sparser crowd than normal. Great acts. Good sound,Seating is cumbersome because it is on long continuous rows of tables. (Not cafe tables) This also makes performers inable to weave about in the crowd because you cannot get from row 1 to row 2, 3, or 4 without going back to the front or way to thr back!. It kills what could otherwise be more caual spontaneity by the performers and actually isolates the patrons from each other. Bar service was slow due to waiters being spread too thin.I am glad to see Baton occupy the space in this very cool triangular vintage building. This was my first event, so I hope Baton's other shows are successful.No food was offered this night.

There was only 2 performer for the show. They could have canceled until the following week. Sunday night is not a good time.

Went to baton recently for my mom’s birthday since she went a few times back when you guys were located downtown but it was my first time and we absolutely loved it!! Since it was a few days after the new year there weren’t too many people who came to the show but honestly even if it was just my family there it would’ve been just as fun! The girls are all so fun and charming in their own way i truly could not choose a favorite. I also really like the style of the building itself with the ticket booth in front it really adds to the character of this place especially when so many places nowadays try to go for a minimal style that pleases everyone. Also shoutout to the queen who sat on my mom’s lap haha she’s gonna talk about that for the rest of her life ?

The New Year's Eve show was incredibly entertaining! This was my 5th year celebrating New Year's Eve at the Baton Club; in addition to attending many other countless shows in prior years.The performers are incredibly talented showing well-executed choreographed routines, spectacular costumes and flawless makeup applications!The food was delicious and the service staff are friendly.
