The bartender was not friendly at all and didn't say a single word to us except for the drink price. The service was fine. The menu had an entire page of White Russian-type drinks which I had a sip of. If you like White Russians then this might be your place. They don't service Miller or Budweiser products and are proud of it. The place is a weird twist between a 1950's bar and a hipster kinda spot. The booths are cool and are good for a date night. I probably wouldn't go back but it was an experience.

There is an older jukebox available to play music, and the sound in that place was really great. They were closed during the pandemic I believe, but now they are open again. A week after we visited there someone vandalized the back or side of the building with graffiti, which is unfortunate! It's a swank place, and I hope that more people realize just how much fun it is to be there. The seats seem kind of retro and has a lot of big wide curves to it. I hope that the musty smell can get cleared out somehow because that's a little overwhelming, but I think it's just from being closed up for so long. We will definitely be back!

Its a small town bar in the big city of La Crosse. It doesn't have the flashy extravaganza of a club like Saloon in Minneapolis; it's made more for the working gay wanting a tipple after a shift. You come in, grab a drink, hang out, and make memories like Cheers or more aptly QaF. There's dirt cheap drink prices if you want to indulge in bad decisioning and go home with a new friend, but the most of the patrons grab a beer and chat amongst themselves. The staff are fun and bring a homey vibe, definitely can see how some of the other reviews provided feedback on regulars versus newcomers. But being new to the city and having a tad more melanin than the average Wisconsinite, I didn't experience the discrimination that was aforementioned. The other thing I really appreciate was the gender expression diversity. It's not all cis male appearing dudes.

The bartenders only service the regulars first, sitting at the bar it took 15 min before either bartender served us, 2. The tunes box doesn't let you do fast passes, which doesn't allow you to know when your music or songs come on so it could be hours or days, per the bartender said and they apparently can skip it behind the bar but didn't allow some gay pop tunes, and 3. Says no vaping but they allow the regulars; us newbies were told no vaping but they didn't say anything to the regulars. I also went up and asked the lesbian over weight short haired bartender and she said no we don't allow it so everyone could hear their music (the fast pass) and i said well that's bad for business because my songs can be days or hours before we hear it and she shrugged her shoulder.
