It’s sooooo hot in there… probably should work on getting some kinda ventilation or ac system!!! And the bathroom line was ridiculously long. We left out and went to use the bathroom outside. It was much quicker !!!….. Owner claims they have a new HVAC system but while they are busy responding to reviews, they probably should work on getting a refund for the so-called new system. I’ve been in plenty of packed clubs and it has never been that hot.??♂️ Also, while you may have three bathrooms, they all are Small and always have a line but I guess watered down overpriced drinks will run through a person??♂️

The foods sucks, the frozen margaritas are weak & it is extremely hot! They have good vibes some nights & the drag show would be more enjoyable if there was more space. I distinctly remember the last time we went the dance floor was dead & DJ Statistics asked for requests and when my partner tried she said that the DJ was hella rude to her. If you need help doin ur job u should at least be nice about it. The bartenders are the best!!! I think this place would benefit from setting two different tones on each floor, with the more chill vibes being downstairs.

So, I've been here twice with the intention of staying to party most of the night, and both times had to leave within 1-2 hrs because I couldn't stand the music. Amateur rapping over a mediocre beat or a remix of a mainstream pop/RnB song, and it's always played too loud to hear your own thoughts, with poor equalizing. If the music was like 25% quieter and/or equalized and mixed professionally it'd be a great spot. But they need to fire their DJ before I'll go there again.

A great queer bar to visit while in Richmond. They have a bunch of delicious cocktails and their fries really are famous!

I trust this message finds you well. I am a resident of the apartments situated above the esteemed Club Papi's. Firstly, I would like to express my admiration for the vibrant atmosphere fostered by Papi's, a venue that showcases the city of Richmond's commitment to nurturing a unique and diverse community. As a person who used to enjoy nights out and the club scene, I appreciate the passion with which this establishment embraces its cultural role.However, I would like to raise a concern regarding the ethical implications of the consistently loud music played during late hours within our shared proximity. While I acknowledge that Richmond lacks specific regulations dictating the distance between clubs and residential areas, I wish to highlight the presence of a small community residing above the club Papi's. Specifically, the parties held at Papi's each weekend and impromptu parties held during the week outside of the club's regular operating hours, allowing performers to express themselves through music from Friday to Saturday night (9 pm - 2 am), contribute to the issue at hand.My primary concern pertains to the escalating volume of music throughout the night, particularly on occasions such as nights outside of regular business hours. I comprehend that the vibrancy and liveliness of the club contribute significantly to its success; however, I question the necessity of excessively loud music during off-peak hours. During these hours, I experience vibration inside of my dwelling as well as outside in the halls, loud banging noises as well as arguing in the stairwell and people forcing themselves onto the roof due to Papi's lack of security on their level of the building. While I respect the cultural significance, I believe that consideration for both the internal and external community is imperative in nurturing a harmonious environment.As a dedicated employee of the state who unexpectedly found residence above a club, I am keen to address the issue of the excessive noise from Papi's. My earnest request is for Club Papi's management to contemplate the impact of their music on the tenants residing above, especially on nights when the club is not supposed to be operational (Monday-Thursday nights). My sole desire, as a resident of the apartments above Papi's, is for the volume of music to be moderated, taking into account the safety and well-being of not only myself but the other residents residing above the club premises.I sincerely appreciate your attention to this matter and hope for a constructive resolution that ensures a peaceful coexistence between the club and its neighboring residents.Thank you for your time and understanding.

Quite possibly the worst brunch that I have ever been to. The food was completely inedible, several tables never received their food before the end of the drag brunch, and there was ONE server for the ENTIRE restaurant. Also no working air conditioning.Queer tip to the straight owners: have good service, get people drunk and they’ll spend more money. But you’re straight and fleecing the queer community, so I get that it’s hard.

Some of the worst food I have had in Richmond. Was both cold and burnt at the same time. We went for drag brunch and our food arrived after the show had already ended. The entertainers were amazing, but does not excuse the terrible management and inedible food.

Went when they said they were open the doors were locked, and nobody would answer the phone thumbs down
Everything was great! The Queens, People , hosts, bartenders, security were all great! 1st time coming and it was LIT! The only downside was the downstairs restroom. I don’t care too much about men and women in the same bathroom. However it would be nice if the stall door could lock. I would visit again!!

The drag show & the drinks were awesome! But unfortunately, I can't say the same for the food. I only order wings, safe right. Nope! They were cooked too hard, and the meat just tasted rotted for some reason.
