The atmosphere is top notch. The wait staff are amazingly helpful and wonderfully fully. I love the bands. I usually just drink bottles of spotted cows. But the bands are $10 for all the cows that I want to drink. Makes itself in 2 beers. Love this place.

Not good food, the cook thinks his food is good but it's not at all, it's all over cooked and chewy, the chicken tacos tasted like wet beef jerky and over charges for such bad food

We love the Karaoke DJ, we been following himFor years. This is not against him. I used to bring my co workers for karaoke. They have the 14 dollar rail deal the 20 the 30 for top shelf liquor. But just so you know. If you’re only looking to pay for one of those 3 deals this place won’t welcome you. They push you to spend more money and if you refuse they will let you know! I was force to pay for a drink separately when ITold the bartender that I wanted the 20 dollar dealHe charged me for the drink then he told me that he couldn’t void the beer that he made a mistake. That I had to start over and pay 26 dollars for a 20 dollar deal. 6 dollar for the beer that should’ve been included in my 20 dollar deal.So I got the message that if I’mOnly coming to get any of their deals and not spend any more money I’m not welcome in this place. We’ll you succeed. I’m not coming back to this place ever again.

Maybe do a better job of keeping the panhandlers for pestering patrons.

Drinks are unfortunately priced normally, but the staff and clientele make this worth stopping by. Immediately friendly and inclusive to a pair of strangers from out of town. :)Lots of bonus points for being one of the few places with music I actively enjoyed - that being "house" style with artists such as Seven Lions, Illenium, Ellie Goulding, etc.

Went there for the NY. Was garbage. Music sucked. Bartender was prejudice. Drink was weak. Don't go there if you're black or looking for a urban atmosphere.

Subs are powerful but the speakers are not very good. That's great if you're going to have gender neutral bathrooms but you should have stalls! Should not walk into a gender neutral bathroom and have a bunch of peoples' backs at urinals be the first thing you see when you walk in. Duh. Doors. On. Stalls. They were charging for tap water which is trashy.

I gave this place 4 stars because they really are trying. It was Halloween and my first time coming here since it morphed from that God forsaken place La cage. I was first met by a rather, muscular? but attractive guy with a beard who said "50 dollar cover" I thought, was he joking? must have been. I gave him the " your joke failed" smile and walked in. I then saw a patron who had a body of a God even in his costume!! he started a conversation with me, only to find out that he was there with his girlfriend (damn), there were a lot of " I'm here with my girlfriend" guys there which made me wonder if this was still one of "our" bars. I actually started looking for a rainbow flag. Then I saw Jj!! Jj is one of those staple bartenders that everyone knows and with good reason. He's always attentive, quick with a proper drink, and isn't to busy to care about how your evening is going...not to mention adorable. I took my drink and walked around, very nice remodeling, but confusing to a new comer as to where to go. The dance floor is actually a large enough space to werk it out properly, props given. It wasn't as crowded as I expected for as nice a place it was, but then I went upstairs. A very well attended show was in session!! Props given for having an adequate space for a lost artform in our community. The performers were sober, well practiced, and stomped for their tips. I rather enjoyed myself, except for the occasional spotlight in the face, but what's to be expected when a performer works the audience. Will I go back to LVL? hell yeah! I'd love to see it on a action packed night. My next adventure is to check out the food, a good ideal for date night with the hubby. Give this place a chance, it is well worth our attention.

Worst operated business I've ever seen. They try to make you pay cover at the door but choose "VIPs" for free entry when they feel like. Then the charge an additional cover to go upstairs to see the drag show, which takes away from the queens. The drag show (after you pay) is great but the staff sucks

I only gave it 1star because I had to! I’m not sure what happened to this establishment! La Cage known as LVL know use to be the pillar of LGBT night life in Milwaukee now it just good night! Zzzzz
