Needs music that you can dance to. Has good beasts but not enough to let loose and throw down. So many missed drops with just pump and pass.

This is not a LGBTQ+ bar. Be prepared to be pushed around by straight people who are extremely rude…

Indeed a straight bar, be prepared to be the minority surrounded by bachelor/birthday girls
