Great neighborhood queer bar with friendly service, cheap drinks and clean gender-neutral restrooms. I also love their Cajun food options, especially the spicy sausage.

Bartender pressured me to tip and threatened me. Verbatim said "We aren't corporate if you don't tip me I won't serve you" around 9pm
