“My watering hole and go-to spot. Whether I’m stopping in for a drink by myself, enjoying an after-dinner cocktail, or meeting with LGBTQ-friendly clients after work, Club 20 always feels welcoming and comfortable.
What really makes this place special is the staff. The smiles, the conversations, and the fact they already know me and my drink when I walk in says everything about the atmosphere they’ve created. Jeremy, who has become a staple behind the bar, is incredibly kind, gracious, and attentive, along with the rest of the bartenders and staff who always go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home.
Club 20 is more than just a bar — it’s a community. Their welcoming environment caters to everyone, whether you’re part of the LGBTQ community or not. At Club 20, everyone is treated like family, and that’s something rare to find these days. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great drinks, great people, and a place that genuinely makes you feel like you belong.“

“We actually got lucky! Went on a sibling lunch with my sister and ended up finding out they have a brunch buffet so more food for me. lol Always wanted to eat at an alphabet people restaurant and finally got to. The food was awesome and the staff was nice.“
