    a bucket full of bottles of wine and snacks
    Ray G.

    Always a great time here. Great music and a great drag show. Staff is very friendly. Love that they give you snacks you can munch on while watching a great show. Mixed drinks are great here and reasonably priced. They aren't water down drinks or overly made with mixers.

    So, I went to Plaza last night. Outside, it didn't say it was being used as a venue for a party, so when my friends and I showed up, we had the uncomfortable experience of feeling like we were crashing a stranger's space. Seriously, why didn't they shut the venue down for the party and then open at 10? We asked the security guard twice what the deal was, and he explained that the party would soon be ending. Fine. We waited for about 20 minutes and the situation didn't improve, so my friends and I went to ask for a refund of our entrance fee because we didn't have the experience we paid for. The venue was catering to a predominantly white audience instead of the typical queer latino audience. In other words, the vibe felt off. The security guard, who was in charge of everything apparently, refused to refund us. We went back and forth for about ten minutes and he even told me that I need to "calm down" when I was speaking to him in a moderate tone. Seriously, would it have been that hard to let three people get their hard-earned money back? Especially since Sunday entrance fee is $10/person. We gave in and went back to try to enjoy the drag show. The drinks we ordered weren't the best unfortunately as they had a bitter edge, perhaps because of the quality of the liquor. The drag show had mostly English music instead of typical Juan Gabriel/Paquita songs. Super disappointing. The night was a bust and I'm still frustrated by the obnoxious experience I had with the security guy. That was horrible customer service.

    This lady was AMAZING!  Her dancing was out of this world.  Don't miss her!!

We didn't want the fun to end, so one last night cap was in order. Parking is a bit difficult, but we managed to snag a spot. There is a big bar in the center if the room and a smaller bar out on the patio. There are also two pool tables and a stage for various events. My friends ordered beer and I kept it simple with a vodka soda. They don't serve food but the bartender said outside eats are welcomed. The DJ was bouncing and the staff & patrons were friendly and welcoming. I like the vibe here and would come back. They host nightly events such as: RuPaul's Drag Race Viewing Party on Fridays. $5 Domestic drafts on Sundays, drink specials and free pool on Mondays, $6 Wells on Wednesday and various contests monthly.

Parking situation is a bit of a hassle. Not their fault as it's in a residential area so parking can be a challenge. It was just after 7 when we arrived and the crowd was completely different from the last visit. More mellow as it was still early. Makes it easier to get a drink at the bar. Pool table was already utilized which seemed to always be the case. There were a couple of people inside along the bar area but majority was on the outdoor patio. It was somewhat busy but nothing compared to how this place can be. Especially when there's an event. Drinks are always a good price. We got a pitcher of beer which had a cooling pack inside. The question of the night was, will this thing take up the amount of glasses we could get out of the pitcher...lol... I've been a good amount of time but honestly don't know if they have a dance floor or not. We always spend time on the patio. There's 2 restroom, one with the toilet which the line can get crazy. The other is a communal one where it tends to be more easily accessible. It's cash only for drinks. Service has always been good and the crowds always fun.

I understand ID policies. I had lost my ID and only had photos of my passport and identification, so I asked politely if there was any way I could come in. I also mentioned I wasn't drinking just there for a friends birthday. What followed was honestly one of the most uncomfortable interactions I've ever had at a business. Instead of giving a simple yes or no, the security guard began loudly berating me for several minutes in front of a full line of people. He repeatedly said things like "what kind of person doesn't bring their ID" over and over again, questioned my intelligence, and spoke about me to my friend instead of addressing me directly. I stayed calm and kept saying it's completely fine if the answer is no - I just needed an answer. But he continued escalating, repeating himself, and making the situation more and more uncomfortable. At one point, people in line were visibly confused and reacting to what was happening. I ended up leaving crying, shaken and upset, which is not something I've ever experienced from simply asking a question at the door of a bar. I have never been so confused and shaken up this is such concerning behavior. Again, I fully respect policies. A simple "no, sorry" would have been completely fine. This review is only about the way the situation was handled. It felt unnecessarily aggressive and honestly unstable, and it created a very uncomfortable environment not just for me, but for everyone standing there. I hope management is aware of how their staff is representing the business, because this kind of interaction leaves a lasting impression.

You enter through a door and go up a flight of steps to the main entrance. It's a pretty big layout with multiple bars and then a side area for sitting or smoking as there's windows that open up to the outside. I did not drink or eat anything here. I was a little bit hesitant to go because it's a gay bar with mostly males and I didn't want to get the, "What is she doing here?" look, but nobody gave a eff. Everyone was pretty much in their own world and mainly socializing and catching up with each other. In the main room there were go-go dancers and I got to meet Greg since my friend is friend's with Greg's friend and he was my favorite dancer! Aside from that, I surprisingly had the best time!I was planning on leaving 45 minutes after I got there because I was tired and I thought it would be awkward, but I ended up staying until 1 a.m. straight dancing my ass off because the music was that good! I took a break around 12:45 am because it was getting hot in there and when I went back to the dance floor the music got super loud and more crowded and I became super aware and overstimulated and called it a night. If you're looking for a fun time with friends Precinct is a vibe and the people that work there and just overall patrons are friendly and in a good mood. I witnessed no drama when I was there!
