Cactus is my go to and favorite places to chill. It's a fun club/bar..it has a very chill atmosphere especially during the week. Weekends are very busy with dancing and drag shows. The bartenders are great and knowledgeable, Matt is my favorite bartender always looks out for me.

Don’t accept military I’d. Of age to go in but they won’t accept a military I’d. Has to be state id. SMH.

The bartender was extremely rude. He could not make a margarita. We asked him to add a liquour to the magarita, he added sprite and tequila without the mix! My partner and I asked him if he was going to add the mix. He got an attitude when we tried to correct him. We had to complain to management. We declined to get another drink because we were so disappointed with our visit that night and doubt we will ever return.

I asked the bartender for 3 glasses of water and he insisted that the only water they had was bottled and that I had to pay $10 for 3 bottled waters. That's absolutely ridiculous, what bar doesn't provide water to patrons!!!

Love the atmosphere and the bar is nice but we watched a patron get carried into the bathroom off her feet as she threw up, security let them carry the unconscious girl to a car. We let security know and they just said it’s ok cause the other drunk males in the group were military and didn’t want them to get in trouble. We were very disturbed by this. I work with Veterans who have experienced MST after a heavy night of drinking. Let them know she needs a neutral party to take care of her … aka 911 for EMT services. Nada … I get when the supervisor told me they don’t wanna ruin careers … me personally, if that was my daughter I’d be more worried about her Soul. And the wolves who prey on weak and vulnerable women.

Fun place to go if there's a big event or holiday stuff going on, but on other nights it's really dead with no one on the floor. Drinks are strong, and the bartenders are good if that's what you're looking for. DJ plays the biker and cupid shuffle but nothing really current and it's the same songs every time I go. Not really worth the $8 cover, and there's no parking available if it's busy, so come early.

I lived here about 6 years ago…. I swear the same DJ plays the same old Music.Get a different Dj who plays a current/different/variety of music!! The biker shuffle and Cupid shuffle in 2023 is ridiculous

Hi! We went out last weekend and had a great time. Here are the details! We used to go out to the Cactus at its old location and the building wasnt great, the staff werent always very nice but it seems like all of that has changed! Everyone was smiling and having a good time. They had 4 drag queens 2 of them we knew before and 2 we didnt know. This was a great change seeing some new faces. Jasmine is our favorite and always entertains. The D.J. played a great variety of music that had people dancing most of the night and has a perfect mix of latin and dance music. They have an outdoor patio area now that is a welcome addition to the club. The service was a little slow from the kitchen and the food was a bit cold by time we got it however it was great flavors. Drinks were priced a little more than before but they have new cocktails that are worth the higher prices. I would suggest if you want a great drag show, great music and friendly faces to check out this new location! Totally recommend.Parking: We had to drive around a bit to find a parking spot so I would suggest ride share or riding with friends.
Great place with friendly and professional staff! Matt is killing at the bar! Awesome dude! The pool tables are fun for a quick after work relief!

Bad for me, my kind, whatever you wanna call it. I don't feel like it's a race thing there, it's just uncomfortable, cuz I'm white as a ghost. I have autism and they wouldn't let me wear shades. Shades was the "too far point" I guess. I tried to be comfy anyways, no avail. I stopped in THREE times to give a fair review only to find out if I show up at 11pm there is a cover charge for a place that my first two visits was told nothing was going on and NOW I needed CASH. Right now. I felt held up for money. Like this WASN'T the plan and the crowd just made them do that cuz employees should've said literally anything bout this. I had no cash. 3 strikes. I give up. First time out too. Disaster. Felt like an alien. An omen. I'm not welcomed. I tried so hard to be flexible and find only the guy mixing was welcoming (the one trying, not the other untrained kid). I wasn't rude, didn't yell or raise a fuss over my shades, lack of food accommodation/zero cola or ask for ANY special treatment (ftr). Oh well, like I said bad for me, bad for even mildly autistic folks maybe. Fit in or get out culture. Feeling "just be normal" in a gay bar sucks. Never again. On a lighter note, I hated the layout. I wanted to vibe alone'ish, get a feel for the place but nah. Think the door guy treated me like a drug addicted loon too cuz I had some sensory issues with the lights that I was trying to mitigate with shades.. as I do in life. I took a break in my car. I laughed that off. Combined total of events though == back to hell of talking to ppl online only. Bye.Dietary restrictions: They don't have any or at least I wasn't offered a route to be accommodated. 1 star cuz I was just made to leave and eat elsewhere. Didn't bug me but get a lettuce wrapped burger if you want that business.Parking: Bad. Nor many spots if the place isn't dead. You get a choice of like some Christian place and Texas restaurant if you can't get near and I wasn't sure if I'd be towed by any shop owners around the establishment. Too small (If not dead)

The people who hang out here are not very nice. It seems more like a nice place if you have attitude.
