What reviewers say

Some visitors found the drag shows to be a perfect mix of class and trash, and enjoyed the other patrons. However, multiple reviews mention rude, aggressive, and potentially racist behavior from the owner and bartenders, with some guests being asked to leave without explanation and concerns about the bar's cleanliness and safety. There are also complaints about the venue not accepting Apple Pay and staff struggling with card payments, advising cash only.

Cheap drinks but not strong. Duck Dynasty with a gay flag vibe

After posting an AI ad and facing backlash from several individuals in the community, they messaged multiple people saying that the establishment was “obviously not for you”. Way to really bring people in during an already hard time for the LGBTQIA+ community. You can’t cut corners and expect people to not have opinions about it.

Went for a beer, walked in the other room to see the environment.. a minute later “owner/manager” drunk stumbling in complaining no tip on the one beer. That we should leave. Very Aggressive. Poor management.. pathetic
