Okay I wouldn't say it's the best. I went on a late Friday night, very chill very vibey$6.00 is a little too much for me, maybe next time I come there on Wednesday. When it's cheaper. I'll buy two drinks 🍻.

I've gone a few times and have had a blast each time. However my most recent time could have been a lot better if this guy just left me alone. He was rude and continued to say feel my muscles. I'm not changing myself because you don't like me. I had to cash out but I stayed seated because he kept asking to go to my car. I was there to look at the beautiful dancers but he kept trying to grab me. If the bartender didn't catch my eyes and walk out there to get something from his car I wouldn't have left and felt uneasy. Thank you mister bartender for noticing. You have always been super kind to me.

Always a great time. Staff is friendly. Busy and loud sometime. But also quiet and relaxing other times.

Terrible place, it turns out to be a good vibe in the morning to get a nice cocktail and then turns another table. I guess so called a regular is always there and thinks he runs a place kicks me out on my day off to chill and relax. Telling me off I need to go and not welcome to be at the establishment. Scription of the guy, white, 5 10 at least and white. Never come here again.

When I go, I'll fix the stars on the rate score. I am okay. I'm on the heavier side, but I'm not ugly just cause people see me they think they shouldn't even look my way again. People, they see a big person... Iand they automatically be kthinking negative...

Went to this local bar for a drink and it totally failed the customer service experience.Sat at the bar, the bartender was chatting with another patron and glanced over my way, then continued to chat. Now, there are no other persons at the bar 10 feet on either side of me.Several minute went by and another person came in and sat 3 seats from me and the bartender immediately went to him and took order. Didn't even acknowledge me the whole time.A big thumbs down for their service. Too bad, look like a chill place to drink too.

So I'm sitting at this bar perplexed. Why in anyone right mind would I have to buy 2 drinks before I can be served water? And someone was fired for not...

I love it here!I'd been putting off visiting for years and I regret it. The first thing I noticed was the vibe. There was a positive energy inside, it was clean, calm and inviting. The drinks were incredibly reasonable, I haven't paid prices like that since I lived in the UK. The owner worked tirelessly behind the bar ALL night. I met several wonderful people throughout the night, had my first dance and had an absolute blast! The staff🤦🏼‍♂️ The staff were great, super friendly, fun, down to earth and particularly stunning. My night ended at 7am 😁.

Went to the Cruisin' Drag Cabaret Drag Show and had so much fun. What a great space to see a show. The show was in a dedicated room separate from the main bar, so the focus was all about the show. The entertainers were some of the best I have seen. The staff was friendly and the drink prices were cheap. Highly recommended! They have a rotating cast, so every show has a different mix of top quality entertainers. Can't waited to go again and again.

Gay first timers. Wife and I went because of the Robin Banks show. Spent a few bucks, had a couple drinks and had a memorable time. Had to leave so don’t know what the rest of the night was like, but only good vibes here. Must try!

We felt so welcomed as soon as we entered the place.Amazing job by the way, on the renovations! So fantastic! The upgraded stage, lights, furniture, all of it, wonderful!
