This is a gem ✨️ ! Lots happening here on a weekly/monthly basis. Atmosphere and sound system is on point! Drinks and food to boot get down there!
This place closes at a different time every night and only leaves a hastily written note on the door when they do, I have enjoyed several events here and it’s a nice place for singles mixers and Karaoke but it seems they are not staffed enough to uphold consistent hours despite their google page claiming they are open until 2am Furthermore, this location has no outdoor patio, I remember when this spot used be a gay bar called The Local, I never had a chance to visit it then, but the new owners seem to have abandoned the outdoor space, including the stage designed for drag performances, definitely a shame in a post Covid world Overall this bar is OK; the drinks are good, the atmosphere is neat and the events are fun if you enjoy chill meetups, but the food is expensive and they are not a place that provides a reliable source of community for anyone who gets off work after 10pm, which is understandable but still disappointing
Everything was great except for the bartender on Friday night. Didnt catch their name. The bartender was beyond rude, I asked for a drink customized because Im allergic to a specific ingredient. They then proceeded to be super rude, roll their eyes and tell me that what I was asking for was incorrect. I knew it wasnt the drink but it was the most similar thing to what I could have. I let it slide and figured they were having a bad night, but then this happened again for the next 3 drinks that my friend and I ordered. Its already hard as it is to find things you can have when youre allergic to so many things and then to end up leaving that night feeling like I had done something wrong was super upsetting. Everyone else there though was so sweet and kind. Def will be considering whether id go back or not though.
This is a cute little bar that I recently "discovered." Most often not very busy, so come with a friend or two until it picks up. The Tuesday Karaoke is really fun!
My partner and I went to Back2Earth. My partner is a black trans man and we experienced a lot of racism while there unfortunately. Examples being, coming to us last when asking for drinks even though we were up at the bar first. After a while of being there my partner and I went into the bathroom to pee together and I understand having a one person policy, but there was a group of 5 girls who went into one bathroom together, but we were the ones who the staff came to pound on the door telling us to get out. Doesn't make sense to me at all to do that to us and only us, but okay. We were really just not treated nicely at all, and we definitely noticed other people were being treated much kinder. Don't love that. There were lots of rumors about them being racist, but we wanted to see for ourselves.
Really great gay/queer space. Locally owned with a very laid back and fresh, eco modern vibe. The plant wall is very cool and makes the large, black open space much more friendly and tranquil. Two booths, several Large long tables for larger groups, tall round tables with stools for smaller groups, lots of standing room, and seating around the bar. The area near the front could also be a dance floor but I have never seen it used that way. Large video screens play popular shows and events. Separate smallish pinball, video game room. Nice, clean bathrooms for a bar Large, well stocked bar with friendly bartenders. They pour a reasonably strong cocktail and use premium mixers. Garnishes were fresh. Happy hour starts when they open (7PM to 9PM.) Small food menu but everything is reasonably priced, comes to the table quickly, is generously portioned, and better quality than most bar food. It looks like they have some fun drink specials. Different activities, and themes each night. Adequate parking on the side of the building. I really liked this place.
Very cool spot, staff is incredible and inviting. The crowd is really friendly as well. Love the vibes of this place.
