9 months agoI was in town with my 2 gay friends. We came and had a few drinks 🍾🥃 on a Wednesday night. The Bouncer was super friendly.

2 months agoIt's one of those big clubs with multiple rooms that each have different music, lighting, layout, and vibes. You'll love it!

7 months agoDj was actually good and knew how to phrase mix in key which was refreshing as there is a lot of bad DJs out there taking up space. Not sure if they were a resident dj but I would go again. Sound system was good really bassey but not too bassey. Drinks were made right which was appetizing and delishious. Not a long line to get in security was good.

2 months agoWent on a Tuesday evening when staying at a nearby hotel. Not that it matters, but I am a hetero male. The vibes were awesome and everyone was kickass. Would go again.

2 years agoBenny the bartender if you are reading this you are amazing! My boyfriend and I wanted to go to a bar for our 5 year anniversary and I picked this one. It was our first time going to a LGBTQ bar and we loved every bit of it. Even at 7pm when they started to play our favorite show- Friday Night Smackdown. Music was great and the people were amazing. We had fun! I had 4 or 5 drinks which came out to be $24.00! I highly recommend this place! Super fun!
Maria Teniente
5 months agoWe had the best time there. Met so many wonderful kind, happy people it was so fantastic. We ended going back the next night after going to a few different places. We had just as much as fun as the first time that we went. I had a fantastic bartender. I told him what kind of drink I needed and came up with a drink for me. It was delicious and just the kind of flavor I was wanting. He remembered me from the night before and made me the same drink again all night long. Huge shout out to Danny, a fantastic bartender with a beautiful smile and so wonderfully friendly!

month agoGreat vibes. Good drinks, Sam's the best! Best and hottest chicken tenders in town especially if you end up crying into them.

2 months agoI stopped in a few weeks ago for an event my softball league was putting on. The renovations make the space feel spacious. I don't drink anymore so I don't find myself there much but they do have a few NA options.
Heather Alderink
month agoWent in for a drink before the Prince sing-along. Still the same awesome bartenders and ridiculously fun crowd. If you're downtown, you don't want to miss this place. Always fun.
