It defiantly have the best environment from a gay bar. Once in a whole their will be a fight in the smoking area which is usual for a bar. The bar is always packed with people and the bartenders are extremely friendly and make drinks perfect and very quick alway. You rarely ever have to flag them down. They do charge tip and couple dollars for using your card so beware. I would recommend asking for bartender kaci she is great. I haven't been to the drag show in a while but it was entertaining but for a little drive climax can offer a better show for no cover charge. Definitely check this place out on a Saturday to he the vibe.

5 Stars A Night to Remember at Splash!…read more My newly wedded wife and I came to Splash with a group of our closest friends (we're a fabulous crew of gays and lesbians), and let me just say--we had the time of our lives! From the moment we walked in, the energy was electric. The music was on point all night--nonstop bangers that kept us dancing until our feet couldn't take it anymore. The crowd was diverse, welcoming, and full of positive vibes. Everyone was just there to have a good time and celebrate being themselves, which made it feel like a big family reunion. The bartenders were super friendly and made some strong, tasty drinks (major bonus!). And we loved that there were different spaces to enjoy--whether you wanted to dance, chill, or chat with new people. It meant so much to us to celebrate our marriage in a place that felt safe, inclusive, and full of joy. Splash will forever be part of our love story now--and we'll definitely be back for more memories. Highly recommend Splash if you're looking for an unforgettable night out in an open, accepting, and ridiculously fun space. Love wins here--every time.

I am genuinely disgusted and deeply disappointed by Splash Nightclub's decision to stop accepting…read moreforeign IDs for entry. For an establishment that profits from the LGBTQ+ community and markets itself as a safe, inclusive space, this policy feels hypocritical, exclusionary, and completely out of touch with the very people who helped build queer nightlife and culture. Many immigrants, international students, travelers, and undocumented individuals already live under constant scrutiny and fear. To see an LGBT club -- a place that should understand discrimination and marginalization better than most -- adopt policies that mirror the same exclusionary attitudes and nationalist rhetoric dominating today's political climate is honestly heartbreaking. Queer spaces were created to protect people who were rejected elsewhere. They were never meant to participate in making vulnerable communities feel unwelcome or suspect. Watching Splash bend toward policies that feel aligned with anti-immigrant and Trump-era thinking is beyond disappointing -- it feels like a betrayal of the values of acceptance, safety, and community that LGBTQ+ spaces are supposed to stand for. I expected better from a club that claims to celebrate diversity. This decision sends a loud message, and unfortunately it's not one of inclusion.

Sadly disappointed…read more My friends and I stopped by Commonwealth on a Saturday afternoon for a late brunch. It was a beautiful day so it was busy for both indoor and outdoor seating. Here, you order your food, grab a number, and find your own seat for the food to be brought out to you. We sat at a table outside to decide what to order. There were no menus available so we just had to search for it online before heading inside to order. Despite being third in line from the register, we had an extremely long wait to order. There was only one person running the register who also had to make the drinks, meaning the service incredibly slow. We wanted to order the five taco platter, garlic fries, chicken Caesar salad, and mimosa pitcher. Sadly, we were only able to get the pitcher and salad. The cashier told us "sorry, we aren't doing fries right now." Not doing fries? Every plate in the vicinity had fries on them. She said that because it was brunch hour, only food on the brunch menu could be ordered. We looked at the brunch menu again and literally saw garlic fries as an option as a side for the burgers/sandwiches. No where did it specify that you can't order off the other menu and both were available online. What bothered us about this is that we placed this order at around 1:50pm, and brunch ended at 2:00pm. I understand that we are not entitled to things on the lunch menu during brunch-time for items like the tacos, but considering the menu swap was less than 10 minutes away and they were quite literally were "doing fries" at the time, it didn't make much sense to us. The only food that we ended up ordering was the Chicken Caesar Salad. This one dish took a super long time to receive. By the time it was brought out, the three of us nearly finished the Mimosa pitcher. The waitress noticed we had no silverware and said she would go grab us some. Because of how the service had been going thus far, we placed a bet on whether or not the waitress would come back with the silverware. Surprise, surprise. She didn't. We had to go inside later and search for silverware ourselves. We weren't even able to get sharing plates which was upsetting since the waitress asked us if we would be sharing the salad. The salad itself looked delicious, but was bland. The dressing was missing that zing and zest that a Caesar dressing typically has. I do appreciate that is was a chopped salad, had avocado, and seasoned croutons. It is just unfortunate that it was lacking any flavor at all. The food prices are quite affordable for the quantity of food you receive though. This experience was disappointing because I was so optimistic about the place. The menu looked good, it had fun and casual vibes and a cool crowd of people. If Commonwealth worked towards better service practices, it would have been a more positive experience.
