Didn't order food, but the atmosphere was superb! The drag show was outstanding and fun! The owner was a blast, responsible man and respectful as well. I really recommend checking out their drag show, super, super hype, fun, outrageous and I loved it!

Way over priced . I ordered a Bombay sapphire and sprite and got a double and it was 17.95 . Went to southbend and it was $10.00 . Almost half the price …. Atmosphere is odd , location is far away from other places also

Well we were having a great time all night. Yk the norm but one of the performers I think. Daniel acted really weird after the performance and made me really uncomfortable. Just thought I should let people know.

🤔🤔🙄 just popped in on a random day like normal and asked for a single shot..... I'm not sure if he could not hear or just felt like doing whatever he wanted to do but he come back with a double shot.... Ummm. Didn't ask for that.... Then proceeded to look at me like I was the crazy one lol he seemed nice about it... just waiting for my refund for the unwanted shot to hit my card... No real damage to my feelings about the bar but maybe stop allowing 60 and up to bartend???? Lol

A dive bar with Cheers vibes. And yes, you will know everyone's name, because regulars and employees are pretty cool. They emphasize that all who enter are like family, whether you come in for karaoke, standup, or a sense of comfort.
