Heard about this place through their charity work/events. The group was fun and invited us to check them out. Fast forward to a few weeks later. Had a blast, casual and comfortable. Kind of reminds me of a local place for family and friends to check in but when the entertainment started it was loud and exciting. Best belly laughs ever. They are labeled as a "gay" bar, the only gay thing about the place is the level of fun you have. Straight customers that will visit again when we are in the area. They even had the Cubs game on when we first arrived. read more

Great drinks, friendly staff, and an inviting group of locals make this bar a great time! Don't miss the drag show Fridays and Saturdays at 11p! read more

Given the scarcity of openly gay establishments in CR, its hard to criticize this place too much. I am pleasantly surprised by how well this place entertains for the size of the venue. The drag shows are on point and much improved compared to several years back. And the queens are unbelievably nice and friendly. Many kudos! Drinks are a good price but the selection is limited. Don't assume that when you ask for a "gin and diet" that your going to get diet tonic. Only diet they carry is Diet Coke. Pool table is in great shape with decent quality pool sticks. The bartender is short and rather blunt. Don't expect to get any real conversation out of the staff. Doorman was rude by calling out my age. Not appropriate nor his f*cking job. Bouncer was extra special towards my friends who were just trying to respectably walk outside to vape. There is no signs on the back door that you can't use it . Atmosphere is rather dark and grungy. But the bathrooms are very clean! And there is soap! Thank heavens! Dance songs are much better than previous visits. But for the love of god, please STOP playing Backstreet Boys "Everybody". That song is not making a come back despite playing it every night. More EDM would be great! They need an actual vape and smoking section outside with chairs, table, and space heater in the winter, so we don't look like a bunch of hoodlums loitering the parking lot. It's insulting that your a bar and you don't have a respectable place for people to relax outside in chairs especially when there is space. Fence off a few parking spaces and use the back door to access a smoking section. Having a bunch of drunk patrons floating throughout the parking lot to smoke is dangerous and a potential accident is just waiting to happen. Was really glad that we ordered a pizza and the staff were receptive to allow us to eat it in the bar. That made my night. Would be better if they offered a limited menu of available microwaveable snacks for late night grub. Overall this is a good place to go for late night entertainment but that is prefaced with the fact that there is no list of alternative choices. read more

Service was friendly. The regulars were nice. Showed up for trivia night, and left before it was over because it took too long with the several "smoke" breaks taken. We got 3 drinks each and didn't even have a slight buzz. (And I am a light weight) Clean but dark. read more

Wow. I used to love this place and now everyone seems like they don't want to be there. Shows are tired and if the owner is as unhappy as he is telling everyone, it's time to give it up. With all the work this places needs I don't know if it can be saved. very sad. read more

This is the most fun place I have ever been. Katrina, Belle, Damian, David, and Joey are the best around. Great hamburgers. The fries are okay.... The door guy on Fridays is adorable. Love it here. Always fun! read more
