It's a nice bar in Ybor. Cover charge is $5. No food options
Amazing friendly environment, having drag performance and friendly people. Best place to go to have fun
What an absolute dump. It's honestly impressive. They changed locations, changed the name, and somehow still have all the same problems. New building, same garbage management, same security on power trips, same terrible customer experience. The security staff act like they're working a maximum-security prison instead of a nightclub. Every interaction feels like they're looking for a reason to start something instead of doing their actual job. We brought a legitimate issue to their attention and somehow WE ended up being the problem. That's when it became clear nobody there actually cares about customers. They don't care what happened, they don't care who's right, and they definitely don't care if you ever come back. Then you look at the reviews and see the same complaints over and over. Unprofessional staff. Bad security. Poor handling of incidents. Customers feeling unsafe. At some point that's not a coincidence, it's just the culture of the place. The drinks are weak, the crowd is full of people trying to start problems, and the staff somehow make the experience even worse. I genuinely don't understand how this place stays in business. Tampa is packed with bars and clubs that actually know how to treat customers like human beings. Go literally anywhere else.
