Fantastic atmosphere! The bar tenders are amazing at their craft and super friendly. The drag performers are all super talented and different event and show themes happen all the time and I always recommend checking out their socials for what is happening. Everything is reasonably priced and its all cash only with an atm inside incase you forget.
