Great place but beware of the bartenders if you don’t tip on your second round he will yell out loud that if you don’t tip they won’t serve you. Lol tip is not mandatory. Maybe get a job that’s promising.

DIX is such a good time, I always end up on side quests here. The staff is very friendly and the music is almost always good. The dance floor is where its at, and they put on some fun drag shows too!
