“Food definitely has got better! Finally the burger was delicious def recommended and the staff was very friendly”

“Didn't eat, but had one cocktail, danced with several strangers, enjoyed the music & atmosphere. Accidentally met a RuGirl (Heidi n Closet)”

“Drag goes late Friday night so if you want to dance plan for a late night”

“Food is always great! The ranch wrap is a good Veggie option, and the fries hit!”

“Celebrated Halloween here and it was such a friendly, fun vibe. They held a costume contest, hosted by Thorgy Thor that was super entertaining. Cover was $15/person. Space was large with multiple bars, including an outdoor area with tables/seats.”

“We had the best time during drag brunch while visiting from Arizona, everyone was so welcoming & ate it up with the performances!! Our server Carlos was the BEST, and there couldn’t have been a better host than Batty Davis, she definitely set the vibes for a fun time!🩷”

“My husband and I had a fantastic time at Drag Brunch with Tayce this past weekend and can’t wait to get to come back next time we are in town.”

“SO Impressed!! Cool bar up front, Serious Disco in the back. The Energy and Vibe was LITTT!!”

“Fun club in the back and nice staff. Love that they show music videos on the TVs, and the disney bingo is fun!! Hummus is very garlicky bit good.”

“The bar is really nice and overall I felt comfortable. The service was friendly, but I had the impression that some of the waiters seemed a bit disinterested. Maybe I didn’t fully understand their role, but at times the friendliness felt somewhat forced. A pity, because the overall atmosphere is otherwise very pleasant.”

“On 6/6, Roscoe’s didn’t let my friend in bc they said he was intoxicated! I requested to see a manager (bc we were fine) and he said we couldn’t go in because “she” (referring to my other friend) was intoxicated. I told him that we were requesting to see a manager to make that determination and show we were all fine. He said it doesn’t even matter. Security was not as harsh with everyone else! Is it bc they were are not white???! Progress let us in with open arms! I legit cried! Never expired this 😢”
