The show gets a 5 out of 5 star review. But the place is just a 1 star. Went for a show and the show was amazing! Its the only thing that saved the experience. But the bartender in the bottom bar during the evening made waiting for the show to start a horrible experience. Everyone in my group is in the age range of 22-30 and we were told, at the door, we could go up to the rooftop bar until the show started, due to it closing at that time. We tried to go up there and the bartender yelled at us. He told us to "find a seat and sit down because we cant line up and block the stair well cause its a fire hazard." We were trying to go to the rooftop bar though. And then immediately afterwards, other people stood in the stair well and were blocking it and he didnt say anything to them. People were continously going up the stairs, even a group with a small child. When we were told everyone under 21 had to stay on the main floor until show time. The bartender was VERY loud and VERY rude, for no reason. Even when people from my group went to get a drink, he was rude. Not to mention the ONE mixed drink, he made, tasted HORRIBLE and made one of us sick. Just cause you can pour some liquor into a cup, doesnt mean you should be a bartender. He had the worst customer service etiquette I have ever experienced anywhere in my life. He needs to be humbled or find a new job.

Great spot! Went for a show, but we ate dinner there before the show started. Good spot, slightly limited menu, so just check (most items are listed online) before you go.

The worst party I’ve ever attended. DJ was just sharing random Youtube videos. But on the other hand this is the best comedy club, if you want to laugh a bunch.

Wife & kids came here for a concert & loved every bit of the experience! From the food to the bands & the bartenders . I had to work and could not attend 😪 so I guess I missed out on a great night.

In a dive bar where drinks flow cheap and sweet,
And the floor quivers under dancing feet.
It's charm, quite unique,
Where the joyful seek,
A haven where gays can move to the beat.

Though the ground might sway, the spirits soar,
In a place where inclusivity's core.
Nightly, they dance away,
Till the break of day,
In a world of their own, who could ask for more?

Food is ridiculously priced- but the main draw is the artists they hold the venue for. The layout is pretty awkward, leaving artists having to push through crowds to get on stage and trapped when the set ends, and the stage is at a weird angle. Blessed be that they host good artists

Really cool club/ music venue!

Love that there are 3 floors to enjoy. The bartenders and staff were very friendly. The rooftop bar was a perfect place to enjoy an appetizer before the show I was there for. The bar on the first floor is cute and clean with plenty of seating.

The 2nd floor, though, was where the action was. Thought the barn door was a unique touch- wouldn't have known anything was there if I didn't see someone going in/ out before the event started!

The sound during the show was better than expected for a small club! Really interesting and intimate venue to catch live music in.
