I'm his wing momma . Hahahah I also love the decor here!!! Pic attached can I borrow that!!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH my beautiful boy had been struggling with his homosexuality for almost 39 years! Finally this year, he came out to me and his daddy, although we already knew . The closet was a beaded curtain you could say so I brought him here for (bottom)less mimosas. Hahaahahah. The men here were so welcoming to my son they even walked him to the bathroom when he was lost!!!! he decided to wear his low rise skinny jeans here, mama wasn't sure of it but he had been making so many fwb( friends with bottoms!!!) Forty years ago, you made me a mom, and what a ride it has been! You've brought me more love, laughter, and pride‍‍‍‍‍‍ than I ever could have imagined. I'm so glad we got to celebrate this milestone with your dad, your Other Mother and your Other Father, and your youngest sister! And can we just take a moment to appreciate that your dad and I have officially been winning at this coparenting thing for FOUR DECADES?! It hasn't always been easy, but we must have done something right because we raised one heck of a human. Ryan, watching you grow into the man you are today has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I am so incredibly proud of you, and no matter how old you get, you'll always be my baby boy. (Sorry, that's just how it works!) Here's to 40 years of you, all the adventures still ahead, and the family that will always be cheering you on. Signing off - sue Xx

Their happy hour is buy one get one and last until 8 PM. There is also a nice patio space which is great for the warmer weather.

Subdays are arguably one of the best days to go as they typically have beer bust for stupid cheap. Unlimited beer or seltzer as do many other gay bars in the area.

Had about 15 regulars yelling at my all over asking to roll a joint for my pain. Never had any racial interactions. The guy discriminated because he thought I was a strait white guy or homeless or some shit. This is wild. For one its denver. For two the only reason why i came to the bar is because its suppost to be inclusive. Worst experience ive ever had anywhere in town. Place is a regulars shit hole.

It is family owned so that's something I truly respect because sometimes you will see several family members working. From Sylvia the mom to Vanessa the sister of Joey who is the owner. You can always have a great time at Vybe because it is pretty much a canvas and you bring the energy they have the vybe. Ther eis a gorgeous patio with screens out there and a huge outdoor stage area that is sometimes used for bigger events. The food is on the subpar side as they do not have a kitchen. They do try to serve bar items. But other than that I think that is the only thing that keeps them from being 5 star much less, have more business as it is dead sometimes.

They booked a racist queen tonight, named Sin St. Clair, to perform who told another queen to, "go back to her country" and "heil hitler". When I spoke to an employee about the incident at 12:45 PM Friday June 5th, he told me,"it doesn't really matter, itll be fine" and refused to condemn her behavior and is still paying her to perform tonight. Its very disappointing to see a queer spot allow and even defend racism within the community.

This review is a bit different from my usual ones, but for good reason…read more This past Friday some friends and I attended the Jazz night in the Jungle room and loved it. We eventually transitioned to the Rose room so we could chat amongst ourselves. The space is large, with booths and tables spread out around the room. We initially made ourselves comfortable near the stage, but then quickly moved to a booth as it was larger and could accommodate the rest of our friends who planned to join us. I sat on the outer most side of the booth, with a good view of the rest of the room, and made awkward eye contact with a man, who then continued to stare me down. He then approached our table, became increasingly combative and aggressive, claiming the table was his and honestly, just seemed to be looking to fight. I write this review not to dog on the crowd, but rather remark on how safe the staff and other patrons made us feel during this encounter. We held our own, eventually insisting this distraught individual leave us alone, all the while the barista at the coffee bar watched vigilantly, using hand signals to ensure we felt safe. Another table began recording the encounter, which I think further deterred the man from his verbal assault on our group. I've experienced similar at other bars and have been left feeling more scared, but because of the way the community at the Pearl stood beside us, felt regulated after the encounter, and continued to enjoy my night. My only note is that they should lower the cost of wine by the glass, or get bigger glasses! I can purchase the same brands by the bottle at the grocery store for the cost of a glass here. I'll definitely be back

I was invited by a friend to check this place out--she mentioned it was a new lesbian bar. When I…read moresaw the address, I realized it was the old Mercury Café, which I've never been a fan of due to the parking and the general area. Had I known beforehand, I probably wouldn't have come. That said, I was surprised to actually find parking not too far away. I did pass a few questionable characters on my walk over, and I hoped my car would still be there when I got back. Once inside, I met up with my friend. Like others have mentioned, the music in the main bar area was extremely loud--too loud to hold a conversation. It was crowded, and people kept bumping into each other, but to be fair, everyone was respectful about it. No one seemed to be doing it with bad intentions. The line at the bar was chaotic, but once I finally got up there, the bartenders were super friendly and attentive. We eventually made our way to the adjoining room, and it was a completely different vibe--much quieter and more relaxed. We could actually talk. I decided to order food. One server--tall, with black hair and torn fishnets--told me I had to order at the bar. But another server, much more accommodating, let me order from her directly and took great care of us. I ordered the patty melt, and it was surprisingly good--definitely better than what the Mercury Café used to offer (which was strictly vegetarian). Ultimately, though, I don't think I'll be returning. The noise level in the main bar was just too much, and the overall environment felt uncomfortable to me. Yes, it's a bar, but the acoustics in that building are rough for the kind of crowd they attract. I did notice they host various classes upstairs, which could be a cool draw for some people--just not quite enough to get me back.

The bar had just opened and it was quiet. Lots of tvs. Fun bartenders and unassuming prices make this a good choice. Wine was cheap and so was the fireball and vodka. Imagine that, cheap Fireball... By 7pm it was a big crowd and fun energy was happening. On our way out we had to have some taqueria style tacos from Tacos Martin then went back in to chow down and watch this week's episode of RPDR replayed at 7:30. I'm not a gay bar aficionado but I know what I'm comfortable with and what feels fun and this is it. Kitty corner across the street is the brother bar Trade. Haven't been there but it's a local fave too.

It isn't HUGE, but it ain't nothing... and it's very dive bar. Food, I can't comment on because I didn't have any... but the drinks were good and their machines and nozzles appeared to be cleaned with regularity, so... things actually TASTED good. Went here during Pride, and they were chill AF to let us crash out from the heat for a bit, and use the restroom and everything, so that's a great thing and a tip in their direction. Made sure to buy some drinks, and a water, and tip the bar staff. Could use a little TLC, but I don't think that's its appeal. It's embracing its dive feel... and I don't think that's a bad thing. This area is... interesting at night. Lots of... wandering people, from rich businessmen and the common everyday folk, to sex workers and homeless people. The whole gang is down in this zone, so you will... mix and mingle, so prepare for that in whatever way you want or need. I'd suggest a backpack being down here; bags are not given out, you have to buy them, and the reusable bags have a tax on them now too... so just bring your own bag. Even a little drawstring bag would be fine; just something to carry odds and ends around in. If during the summer, HATS AND SUNGLASSES, are highly recommended. During the winter, this area gets pretty regular traffic, so the snow stays tamped down.

It still is absolutely a dive bar with all the dive bar things like cheap drinks, pool table, semi functioning bathroom. Drinks were super cheap during happy hour ($1 off each drink). A high life can was $2. You can't beat that! The change machine and pool table are a little beat up but that's to be expected. Bathroom was in a similar state. The highlight during my recent visit was definitely the bartender. I forgot to catch his name but he was killing it behind the bar and troubleshooting the change machine all by himself. If you're looking for a true dive bar, William's Tavern is a great choice. Tip: Don't pay to park at the meters on 17th. The streets going perpendicular are free for 2 hours!
