    I've been here twice now and it was overall a fun experience. The crowd is mostly older locals and gay men. The bartenders and Freddy are friendly. Other reviews in the past said that they cleared the tables too early but we didn't experience that the most recent time we came. Happy hour has great food and drink deals. I enjoyed their blue pina colada and my friend really liked their flashing ice cube. The drag is fine for a no cover place. The first time we went one of the queens groped me though which wasn't cool.

    The atmosphere was great, Had a fun time. Wasn't really impressed by the food, it was decent but prices were good . Make sure to bring cash to tip the drag queens

    yasssss queen! my first drag show and certainly won't be my last! i had reserved my table ~1 wk in advance for the 9pm show. i wasn't expecting the $5 cover / person but it was fine. our service was great and the servers were such characters! our food was surprisingly really tasty and our drinks were strong. the show was very entertaining and interactive and they certainly took their time -- it went 9-11pm. the music all night was ~fabulous~ and the karaoke was a blast. the crowd and vibe just made you feel safe and unjudged and free to be yourself and have fun. i will definitely be coming back... and bringing more $1 bills with me when i come!

    This bar caters to the LBGT+ community, but welcomes everyone. It is located in a busy restaurant/bar district. There is metered street parking available to park. The place has a decent sized dining area, a bar in the center with seating, an outdoor patio in the back, a small stage (where they do the karoke and the trivia host sits), and and small area in the front, between the front door and the door that leads to the dining area that has seating. The bar is very colorful and has a really cool vibe. The bar was packed and there were having trivia night going on. It was so packed that I ended up going out to the back patio to eat. The staff there is very friendly. I really liked them. The bar hosts karaoke every night and drag nights, other things on select nights. They have a full service bar, a few signature cocktails, burgers, sandwiches, salads and pasta. I ordered the Ryan Sammich which came with sweet potatoes fries. It took a very long time for me to get my food. It was over 30 minutes. The food was ok, nothing special. The chicken breast on the sandwich was small and it did not have much flavor. Don't get me wrong, this is a fun place. They have a lot going on and a fun, awesome staff. I probably would not come back here for just the food though. If I did come back, it would probably involve participating in one of their special events.

    We love this place. The food is fine. You're not going there for a gourmet meal. There is a good selection of bar food. We were all happy. However, the atmosphere is uplifting and happy. The gaudy tchotchkes are fun to look. The service was perfect. Thank you Michael. The karaoke was hopping. It's just a welcoming place that I recommend to anyone for a different dinner experience. Go, you won't regret it!

This review is in response to Kerry D. The fireplace is a place of peace and safety. The issue started when she went to the women's restroom and started shouting to someone that she assume identified as male & what body parts they may have had that "you don't belong in a woman's restroom" she harassed the individual all the way to the bar. What Kerry doesn't know is that the women's restroom is singles stalled & have a lock for the safety of those who don't identify as male. Kerry didn't know that & didn't bother to understand because Kerry D never bother genuinely needed to use the restroom. Once there at the bar she tried to get the bartenders attention but only sat there with her hand up. The bartender didn't notice her. So security stepped in to meditate the situation. She shunned off security with both her shoulder and her arm until security announced that they were the proper authority to address about the situation. Once she finally acknowledged security she asked them to step to there top of the stairs. Once there she proceeded to lie and say that the individual coming out of the bathroom just started randomly screaming at her. Security asked what was said and she seem to not be able to remember. Once questioned about what did the persons gender have to do with allegedly yelling at her because she was asked "if this person yelled at you what do their gender have to do with the situation at hand" She had no rebuttal. She VOLUNTEERED to leave the premises. Security escorted her down stairs out the door but she insisted on going to TO THE BARTENDERS at the bottom bar where she then tried to lie about her interactions AGAIN with both security and the patron. The bartenders then attempted to take control over the situation to further try to Meditate the situation but yet again was combative. Kerry D asked for the managers name. What Kerry D didn't know was that it was a manager on duty. When she was instructed to speak with the manager on duty She threw a fit for reasons unknown..When the manager tried to meditate the situation and asked what happened. Kerry didn't want to explain. There was not any three big men against her. Nor was she assaulted at all. Not even when she was asked to leave the bar again. All employees were very patient with Kerry D until she refuse to cooperate & was asked to leave again. She was leaving out & still threw an unknown substance from a water bottle on her friend, bar employees, & patrons. Everyone from strangers to bar employees were all nice to Kerry D but Kerry D was not happy that her entitlement at there bar earned her any leverage over what was right and what was wrong.

For under $70 two people can have crab cakes benedict, fried brussels, crispy French toast... I don't even remember. Like ten different things! I didn't have to eat again until 9pm. The food was great! Vinny, who was our handler (clearly he has training in special education or something because we that table.

Unfortunately, service started off on the wrong foot. There was a very large party already on the patio, and I was seated behind them. I waited about 12-15 minutes before the rest of my group arrived, but no server ever came by. We decided to head inside to get re‑seated, but couldn't find a hostess anywhere. We eventually flagged down a random server in the bar area and asked if a four‑top could be cleared so we could sit there instead. Thankfully, once we moved inside, everything improved dramatically. Service from that point on was attentive and friendly. The "Peoples Hour" menu was a highlight--great pricing without feeling "cheap." Appetizers were $6-10, cocktails $6-8, wines $6, and beers $6.50. The Down & Dirty (a vodka martini variation without vermouth) was solid, and the Out of the Office...Forever rum punch was decent. For food, we tried several items: - Makers Mini Nachos with steak -- Generous toppings but the chips got soggy quickly under all the queso, sour cream, and guac, which is not necessarily a bad thing. - Taco-bout Fish -- Crispy cod with a lemon aioli; one of the better bites of the night. - Drop It Like It's Hot -- Really good chicken tenders with a spicy Comeback sauce. - Lil B sliders -- Nicely cooked and not overdone; the Comeback sauce added a nice kick. The space has an upscale sports‑bar vibe with TVs above and around the bar. Seating can feel tight when it's busy, and the noise level definitely climbs, so keep that in mind if you're looking for a quieter meal. Despite the rocky start, the rest of the evening was enjoyable. Good food, great happy hour pricing, and solid service once we were settled inside. I'd return--just probably not to the patio during a big party.
