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

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

Dj 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.

Went 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.

Benny 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!

We 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!

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

I 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.

Went 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.
