We paid £10 for booth seating thinking it would be near the stage. It couldn’t have been further from the stage! We had to ask three members about our seats which were behind a hen night as far as you could get from the stage. The ticket included queue jump, there was no queue. In short save yourself the tenner and spend it at the bar!

Booked for 13 for a hen party and paid for a party package of £35 a head which you should get 5 drinks, balloons, sparkling shots each and table service. When we arrived the booths didn't have any balloons, they didn’t even give us enough drinks tickets we had to ask for more as not enough for 5 drinks each and we never had table service or sparkling shots while we were there! The booths are miles away from the stage so if you didn’t get up to go see the act's you had to watch it on a tv screen which when you pay for booths you at least expect to be near or can actually see the acts! Luckily for us we made our own entertainment. Complete waste of money and false advertising.

Love it in here. Came during the day and it was as lively as if it was in the evening. The staff were all very polite. They have their own bar just for cocktails and these were delicious and good value for money. It is £8.50 for 1 cocktail or 2 for £15 and they have a variety. The music was good and there was also a drag queen. Would definitely come back

Absolutely love this place. But the new toilets renovation has really bothered me. When I first started to come here there were just toilets. Not labelled with genders but just toilets everyone could go in. I admit they were a bit sketchy and this renovation is nice, but now the toilets are gendered. In the future I wouldn’t like to see gendered toilets at an LGBT nightclub. Maybe change it to be rooms for urinals and stalls. Because as I am a very feminine man who likes to dress up as a female I don’t feel comfortable in gendered bathrooms. Overall it’s a really nice place and I recommend it.

Fun gay bar in the gay hood of Leeds. Large space with a great outdoor area. Small dance floor. Fun mixed crowd. Have to mention that on the weekend there were likely more straight people than gay people including the men. Be careful who you cruise as I got called out by a straight boy who didn't like me checking out his friend. In a gay bar! The shows here on the weekend were fantastic. So much more elaborate than the typical drag show. Lots of fun just beware the gay panic of the straight boys.
