We went over the weekend with friends to watch the show. It was pretty clear when we walked in, we weren't the vibe which is fine, until it effects service and drink pours. Even if we weren't the vibe, it's a drag show night, so who cares if they're a paying customer not causing drama. I've never left a drink unfinished in a bar but the straight tequila Long Island Ice Tea was a first for me and gross. The dried orange garnish, while I get trying to be more elevated, should be an addition to a lemon wedge that should accompany any Long Island Ice tea. I'm not sure how the bar isn't hemorrhaging money with drink pours like that. We ordered food and it took more than an hour to receive. It was a sampler appetizer platter that should be fried bar food. It came with absolutely no sauces or presentation. The tray was entirely too big for what it served on it. It came to the table looking picked over. It was airfried and tasted freezer burnt. I did not get farther than a bite, and struggled to even swallow the bite. Personally I would not serve food like that ever. If you can't cook it properly don't put it on the menu. Waiting an hour for that big of a disappointment is ridiculous. I always want very badly to support places like this but there must be a standard regardless of what the bar supports.

It pains my heart to write this review because I wanted to love this place so much because it’s the only one of its kind in the area! I had made plans all week with out of state friends to come here and we were all so excited! My husband had never seen a drag show or a queen other than on TV. So we enter the building and walk up to the bar, I wanted to make sure we were able to park where we did and didn’t get to speak before I was cut off “did you get checked in yet” I understand checking ID’s and such but let me make sure I can leave my car where it is or just let me speak period! Got all checked in and started finding ourselves around the place and to our table that was very clearly marked with our last name! I’m a big girl mind you, the tables are so pretty but no chance is my big self sitting in the chair we were given without breaking it so we moved tables. Grabbing the menu we started looking at the options. We go to the bar to order my husband is treated as a king where girl friends and I felt like we were a bother! The drinks were extremely over poured! As an ex bar tender I know a few things still and my captain and coke was way over poured with just a splash of coke, most people wouldn’t complain but, I’m a numbers kinda girl and you can’t make money over pouring drinks!! Friend ordered a Long Island that was almost all top shelf tequila, although the bar tender had great flair the drink making an attitude were not ok at all! And a dried ORANGE in a Long Island? Why? Does this man not know how to make a drink properly? We also ordered a sampler platter while ordering drinks. Went to our seats and were just hanging out enjoying each other and others we had spoke with, half an hour goes by, still no food. A wonderful gentleman(Travis) went to check on it for us and it hadn’t even been started. 25 more minutes pass and I go check on it only to see the “cook” leaving things in a basket to get cold while making other things in an air fryer! He handed me what was finished and said the chicken would be right out. Without sauces or anything else I took the “platter” to the table only to the dissatisfaction of everyone at the table, cold uncooked waffle fries, soggy freezer burnt not fully cooked mozzarella sticks and we aren’t even sure what else it actually was. Again Travis to the rescue with some sauces to attempt to save the food. After we pick at things and try to eat we decided against trying to eat anything and decide to leave to go get food. I then stood at the bar for 15 minutes to try to close our tab. I stood and observed the patrons and bar tender as I was ignored and continued to see an attitude of some sort and continuos over pouring but only for certain customers. I grew up in a restaurant and bar owned by my grandparents, am safe serv certified and know the things I saw last night are unacceptable! This place has great potential! I want to see it excell but, with the people working and the attitude of the bar tender that won’t happen sadly!! The Queens were phenomenal

Absolutely incredible experience, very welcoming and loving. I appreciate that they have 18+ until 11 and 21+ after 11 with 2 different sets of shows. It helps everyone feel involved while still allowing adult time to drink and mingle without people too young.

The drag show was a blast! It was so much fun. But that isn’t the only amazing part. When I had thought I lost something the ENTIRE bar stopped what they were doing to help me look. The vibe of the bar was amazing and everyone that works there and visits there was amazing. 10/10 would recommend
my bestie and I went Saturday for her birthday and it was AMAZING!! The show was awesome the queens were fierce!!! they even gave my bestie a shout out for her bday and brought her up on stage 10000000000 percent will be back
