Axis is an epic experience! I’ve taken my straight friends and my mom has been going since before I came out lol. The drag shows are incredible, the drinks are strong, it’s such a vibe! Shoutout to Adrian!! incredible bartender & easy on the eyes.

Every time I find myself in the Short North (on the weekends) I immediately see what Axis has going on! From the front security, to the bathroom attendant, Ive never had an issue! Everyone is friendly, accepting, and push inclusivity! The entertainment is TOP NOTCH! The Queens, the dancers, the Kings and all in between. Every different kind of person is celebrated, and thats exactly what I look for! PRIDE is coming up and thats the first place youll be able to find me! If you havent been, you need to!
