So that may be the reason it's listed a a dive bar. If you want a bourbon and Coke or a vodka seven then by all means this is your place. If you want something that requires more than 2 ingredients...keep walking. The drinks were cheap. But really poorly made. My wife asked for a Colorado bulldog. She had been talking about getting one forever. Not only did the bartender have to Google the recipe but he had no coffee liquor and subbed Baileys...uh, ok. My Top shelf vodka martini was half Tito's and half well. I watched him poor it...and I watched him water it down with something from the Coke shooter. You know they aren't keeping Tito's vodka or vermouth in there. There's a jukebox and tiny dance floor but I see more folks just bellying up to the bar here than grooving out on the dance floor. It seemed more a cruise bar and an all day hang out for regulars.

If you're not here for the beautifully buff bartenders (henceforth known as the BBB) that can put…read moreon a great show (making your drink) then go home! Gay bar? Eh...maybe. But Chiquita's could just as easily be a simple sports bar. The last time I was here I dragged along my heterosexual drinking partner for the night, Nathan. He'd never been to any of the gay bars, but ran into a couple of people he actually knew so don't be afraid to give this place a shot because if I've said it once, I'll say it again...It's not about being gay, bi or straight, it's just about being comfortable with who you are. Chiquitas is pretty small and it's on the corner of Pride Square. There's plenty of seating and this really is a bar. So you're not going to see a whole lot of dancing going on. The juke box is new school so you have unlimited options for music. I've been here multiple times and I always just chat up strangers at the bar, but I feel pretty confident in the fact that there's a pool table here. But then again maybe there's not. Next time I go I will really focus on my surroundings so I can positively determine if there is in fact a pool table. And like I said the BBB can usually put on a pretty good show. If you go on a slower night most of them throw their best tricks and that alone is pretty entertaining. And of course the BBB are all easy on the eyes. Chiquitas does needs some work to the interior, but whatevs...it's perfect start to a night out or a great place to chat up locals while sipping a drink.

In the beginning we did stick around for the drag shows but then started leaving because its almost the same performers on Fridays and Sundays which left us scratching our heads. We might give the drag shows a second chance once we start seeing performers we still have not seen perform there. But there is also something else we don't like, the guy who hosts the show like to sometimes make fun of some performers and some people in the audience, this is not funny, it's bullying and not professional for someone with a microphone to be shaming people for a cheap laugh.
