We had the event catered but he was so flexible to the needs of our group as we had folks from 8 weeks old to close to 80 and everything in between. The building has so many layers to it and everybody found their happy space.Shaun really charged a very minimal charge,really just for clean up .They have a full service bar and I must say they make a great margarita .Thank you Shaun,Press Club for honoring your member and her family and not taking advantage at what was a difficult time .

Finally Albuquerque has another gay bar! Partner and I went last weekend and it was cute! We went…read moreearly around 8ish we did not have to pay a cover, but expect to pay $15 after 9 pm. The staff were great, friendly and welcoming. The only thing is the bar is "intimate", they do have a dance floor, we did get to see, also kinda small. It will be fun to see this new bar find their footing after a few months. I will definitely go back to try it again! #supportlocal

The menus are on a vinyl, to match their theme. And their drink menu is fun. What was disappointing was that 1. we had to wait 25 minutes for a bartender to show up and get our orders, then another long time to get the drinks. After the wait, a second drink was out of the question. 2. This is a vinyl lounge, and even though they had a setup for a DJ, there was no one playing but a speaker. 3. Some or our drinks did not come out with all the "frills" and effects as described on the menu, so we missed part of the experience. Not sure if it was an off night for them but my experience wasn't great.

We heard about Zema when in town so when we got a evening open we stopped in the other day. The walk up was pretty great. The location is a refurbished motel. We walked into a couple gals working the front desk. Long story short I rubbed the wrong banana but they helped me out. Once inside we grabbed a table a appreciated the clubs layout. They have some retro club music going, but no DJ. When we left about an hour later a DJ hadn't steppe dup, but the music was pretty good all the same. We had to wait for our 1st drink for a while. The gal at the front said the DJ has stepped away for a while but would be back soon enough. The drinks were ok, the service was so-so. We really wanted to like the place, hopefully next time things are more together.

Park in the back and enter thru the big black door on the parking lot side. Be nice to everyone - many of the people helping out are volunteers. After entry, head to the back, which is the closest area to Central Ave, for a generous bar area and great dance floor with a stage. Make yourself at home and make some new friends.

They explained to me that they are having a problem with a leak in the plumbing from next-door. The floor wasn't wet. Obviously someone had spelled A sticky drink on the floor, and my flip-flop stuck to it as I walked in the door. Someone had taken time out of their busy day to put a wet floor sign in the restroom. Both gentlemen were standing at the front of the establishment doing absolutely nothing and someone could've run a mop over the floor, but nobody bothered. Just so gross.

We got popcorn and a soda! It was so much fun being there with all the cult classic lovers singing and being dressed up. & then I came again by myself for breakfast and brunch to watch Beauty & the Beast. Breakfast was spectacular! Such great options. It was a buffet style. Tickets plus brunch are such good prices. The staff and bartender were so nice and seemed genuinely happy to be there! I can't wait to come back. Sucha great experience. The fact it's local and has been around since the 30's makes it even better.

The chairs in Accessible area move and while they have arms, they are high enough to allow for larger behinds to sit in them. Even the main seating has been updated to allow for larger behinds, though you are very close arm and leg wise in those seats and getting out with a cane would not be advisable. Sound is great and so far every play has been stellar. From the Popejoy of my childhood the improvements are astronomical. A+ (PS they now allow the food from their little food area to be taken into the theater. No outside food. It's cookies, nuts and candies, hot drinks or sodas and water. (Baked goods and warm drinks are 'as available' and may run out or be unavailable some shows.)
