That was the strangest experience of my life at any LGBTQ bar / club. The security were literally sticking their hands in everyone's pockets and feeling around. Luckily I wasn't wearing tight pants or it would have been really awkward and borderline inappropriate for security. The people hanging out here weren't very nice either. That was the strangest part of going here. There was a woman trying to ask for money to get home or get food and one of the people outside the club decided that he would ensure that no one helped her. There also was an entry fee and there was no drag show; so what was the entry fee for? There also was only floor 1 in action, and it was cramped full of people. That was my strangest LGBTQ bar / club experience EVER! And i have been to dozens of LGBTQ bars / clubs across the world. Usually the staff are extra chill at these places cause they know what we go through as LGBTQ people or they are LGBTQ themselves. The staff wasn't nice. There was no please, thank you, your welcome or excuse me. It was just demands.

Don’t go here unless you want to be flirted with by security outside and harassed. Place has went down hill. Shitty music , rude bouncers. Not worth the money to get in. I feel like ppl only come here bc it’s open until 4 am.

It's a club! All the people here are friendly and happy too. Not a ton of chairs so you might be standing for the most part.
