Unconscionably unsafe and inaccessible. Came for a ticketed show that was dangerously oversold, and there was no consideration for ADA accessibility. My friend is currently disabled and can’t stand and we were told by three staff there was nothing they could do until we badgered someone into getting a chair for us - which we had to walk through a dangerously packed crowd to get to. Someone else had a medical emergency in the middle of the show and there was NO safe egress available, just a bunch of people trying to get someone out of the crowd with no safe way to do so. Unsafe and inaccessible - queer spaces aren’t inclusive unless they care about the most vulnerable among us.

I had stepped out of the 3 Dollar Bill to assist a friend to a car. While I knew that stepping out of the establishment may forego my ticket, I was willing to repay it for reentry. When attempting to reenter, the security at the front were very rude and agressive. While the ticketing person said I was allowed back in if I stepped out, the front of house (security) said absolutely not. My friend was inside trying to reason to the security gentleman and lady, but they exagerated saying that I came in and out six times. This is a total and complete lie. While I have had many a good time at this place, treating patrons this way is unacceptable. If one needs to step out of the club for whatever reason, especially with a reason of seeing a friend to safe transportation, and wishes to return the establishment, its front-of-house staff should absolutely accept them back in without shame or embarassement to the patron (in front of a whole line of other patrons waiting to get in). I love the 3 Dollar Bill, but I do not love being treated the way I have been this evening.

Watching the RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars finale at 3 Dollar Bill was an electrifying experience. The venue's vibrant and inclusive atmosphere, combined with the high-energy drag performances, made the night unforgettable. The crowd was fully engaged, cheering on their favorites, which added to the excitement. With its welcoming vibe, fantastic entertainment, and sense of community, 3 Dollar Bill is the perfect place to enjoy a drag show and celebrate the art of drag. ?

3rd time coming in the place and nothing compared to my previous experiences. They were having this VOGUING WHATEVER IT WAS and i decided to step in since a friend was visiting the city and just wanted to take him out and 3 Dollar Bill was my closest option. SECURITY GUARDS (MALE AND FEMALE) NASTY, DISRESPECTFUL TOWARDS people at the entrance when asking for IDs and redirecting to the payment window. There was a no-reentry policy they never mentioned at the door so what happened was I went outside to pick up some other friends who were joining us and yo my surprise I was told I had to pay for my entrance again. WHAT THAT HELL IS EVEN THAT? when I had just paid and came in the venue no longer than 10 mins ago. Next time I should know better to what events 3 Dollar Bill holds I will be going too, because the vibe in the place felt so off ever since I stepped in.

Going to see a ticketed event here? Don't. Save yourself.
Went to a ticketed event at this club and I was shocked at the massive fire hazard this club allowed. Everyone was packed into one small room with barriers between general admission and VIP, which would make escape in case of an emergency a nightmare and create a tripping/trampling hazard. Hell, someone had an actual medical event during the performance and it took several minutes to get them to safety out of the densely-packed crowded. And it wasn't even the security at 3 Dollar Bill who took care of the person, it was the performance crew. Because that's not a liability at all.
Also for an inclusive space, there is little to no assistance or even basic decency for guests with disabilities. At said event, people had to beg to get a chair so they could sit because of their physical disabilities and were just sat in a corner. What would have happened to those folks if an evacuation needed to occur? Probably nothing good. The event (as it seems nearly all events are at this bar) was standing-room only too, so even if you don't have a medical disability, you have to be well enough to stand for several hours at a time. If you even wanted to stay because you can't see anything if you're unlucky enough to get trapped in the back.
So, to recap: the establishment allowed a packed event with no accessibility measures, no thought or protocol as to how folks could safely evacuate in case of an emergency, and generally a "shrug-it-off" mentality when it comes to everything from basic questions to safety measures. I hope productions and companies see these practices and beg off to better venues, cause honey, this is a bad look.

This venue’s ticketed events are dangerous, inaccessible, and staffed by security and crew that are not doing their jobs properly.
I was just at the fagtasia show and it took over half an hour and yelling at four people to get a chair in VIP for my friend who is temporarily disabled. Before that, I was basically told “oh well we can’t help you, the venue isn’t built for that.”
On top of that, there was no safe way to get out of that room. You were packed tight into a room where anyone who was having mobility issues or a medical issue couldn’t easily leave the space to get help. A responsible venue would create clear entry and exit points that are clear and allow easy movement. Wouldn’t you know it: someone fainted in the middle of the show. Nothing stopped, security wasn’t involved, ppl from GA had to drag the person over to a booth in the corner to give them medical attention.
I was deeply disgusted and humiliated. For a queer club that touts inclusivity for all, this is unacceptable, and if your security issues during your SRO ticketed events arent fixed, someone is going to die or get seriously hurt at one of these shows.

Great space to dance and hang out. Watch for their special events
Having been to last year's RPDR finale event and after-party, this year's event was a complete 180 for the worst. Came with my partner and mother to both events - M&G included - and endured a dangerously oversold and overpacked crowd that evoked a complete hazard in every sense of the word. Was knocked in the head several times in trying to protect my mother. Then, was in the head of the crowd at Banana Fever when the M&G was announced, so making our way through a gridlocked crowd was an absolute disaster and danger. A couple people passed out and security took no notice, requiring those around them to drag them to a somewhat safe space. Management and security were nothing but agitated psuedo-buffers of the night, doing nothing but standing like angry deer in headlights when tasked to crowd control and alleviate the hazard. Such a disappointment after having spent so much money for queens that were deserving of a much better experience.

I am writing a review regarding the April 19th Banana Fever Ball event. The event was packed, which resulted in people pushing to enter the main room with the stage. It got to a point where I could barely see the stage or lift my arms, so I decided to leave.I and several other people concerned about the situation were trying to get out at that point. People standing by the bar, those entering the venue, and those waiting for the meet and greet were pushing in opposite directions, and a woman was crushed in between a number of people and was screaming. It was really scary and required security to intervene and escort us out. I am frustrated as I paid a lot for the event and waited more than 40 minutes in line with a prepaid ticket to get in. I will not return to the venue unless events are not oversold and crowd control is properly performed in the future.

Legitimately the most rude staff I've ever met. Their security is awful and won't let you back in even if you have a damn wrist band that you paid to have. Y'all need to have better attitudes.

It’s a wonderful atmosphere and crowd, but the sound system is TOO LOUD. I’ve been to many, many bars/clubs, and this it the only sound system that actively aggravates and it painful to my ears. And, of course, they don’t give out/sell ear plugs.It’s truly unbearable and sadly often takes away from an otherwise great event. My friends and I sometimes even decide to go to a differently venue because we can’t handle dealing with the noise that night.Please fix it!

The bartenders were cool. However, security didn’t want to let me it because I didn’t have my passport with me (which btw, it’s a really important document to bring to a party and I could potentiallly loose it, so I don’t take it to these type of places).We bought tickets to the mirage show but no one told us it was on the yard and we couldn’t see it. So we lost the money.Overall the service was confusing and a bit xenophobic. Couldn’t see mirage even when I paid. Rude security staff which might be cause my accent. 0/10
