One of the best bars I've ever been to. Everyone from the patrons to the bar staff themselves were so nice and inviting. The drag shows were a lot of fun and the drinks are reasonably priced as well. I will definitely come back every chance I get to be in town

Was a fun place. Very friendly bartenders. The only complaint was the round little tables are very unstable and I kept thinking I was going to knock over my drinks that were on it .
