Very reasonable cover and everyone I interacted with from the front door to the bartenders were hospitable. If you didn't bring cash to tip at the drag show, no worries there's an ATM at the front door. Restrooms are nice and clean and very well positioned. There were a couple different rooms with differing music and vibes and I was here for it! The drag show was one of the best I've seen in quite a while! Those ladies were workin it! The vibe inside everywhere was nice and warm which definitely matches the locale. Definitely suggest checking it out! Cool people cool music great atmosphere.

Modernized yet fun and plenty of seating. It's awesome to sit outside to enjoy the weather and people watching. The back patio offers a bit less traffic but ample seating too and music is pumped overhead. Inside offers a small dancing area, bar seating and another bar. The staff was great the night we visited. They scan your card, hand it back and will close it out with a 20% tip (if you forget to close it). This is perfect so that you don't have to grab your card before leaving. Late hours. Periodic trivia. Fair prices for drinks. Sometimes karaoke. Parking can be touch because it's in the Highlands and only street parking is available.

They do them well and that's exactly why I love it.

I personally just love the indoor space - moody, dark, always filled with interesting people. I never have problem striking up a conversation and nine times out of ten, it's a really good one. I honestly find that rare nowadays. The ghost kitchen might be my favorite part. I recently finally got Gladwell's wings at their Sunday pop-up. DELICIOUS. Well cooked, generesouly sauced. Tender chicken, but with hints of crispy edges. The buffalo garlic sauce was perfection, unique in that it had a little more depth in the flavor than a typicaly buffalo, but not so far off that you're missing out on good ol' fashioned bar eats.
