If you want an all inclusive space with great drinks and an amazing atmosphere this is the place to go!!!! I have been coming here for 20+ years and it truly is my home. Inclusiveness is the first thing I feel when I walk in the door. Great entertainers, dancers, shows, and staff. Sammy has created what the LGBT community needed in Springfield.
We found this place last December (2023). We loved it. Since we are from CT and gotta drive 1 hour and a half to get there, we’ve been going once a month ever since and stay at the Marriot. It was slow on our last visit on pre-memorial day sunday, but it was great to get to meet Apollo, who’s my new favorite; he’s sexy, he’s cute, very friendly and a great performer, we simply loved him 🤩🥰 Still miss Enrique, though 🥹 Hope to get to see Apollo on our next visits 🥰
First timer for me and my friends. Wasn't as good as expected. We bought tickets prior to coming thinking it was going to be really special. The meet and greet was on time at 10:30-11pm, but the drag show itself was supposed to start at midnight. At 11:45, there weren't any fans to meet the special guest from RPDR. The Go-go boys could only do so much to keep us entertained. By the time it was 12:25, the drag queens finally performed. We called it a night right before 1am, and we did not see the guest star from RPDR. I'm not sure if that is a thing here in MA, but everything should be on time according to the website. Aside from that, really good drinks, bartenders were amazing, the room was spacious, and they sold "fun" merchandise.
It makes me sad to say how much of a disappointment this venue is to the community. To start off the place looks completely unsanitary last week when I was in there I was so scared to go to the bathroom I literally had to stop myself from going to the bathroom while I was there. The employees also was not friendly at all. It’s not my fault you don’t like your job but there is no reason to take it out on the customer who is trying to help you earn a buck. When it comes to the owner I wish things were done more professionally and behind close doors rather than letting me the customer and other people see dancers being mistreated. In order to have a good well establishment you have to do better and want better . All aspects and areas should be covered and at no point can selfishness take a lead. I’d like to end this review with saying I will never return to this establishment and highly recommend to anyone looking for a good time friendly environment that the X-Room at Mardi Gras is one place you would want to stay far far away from promise you you’ll thank me later.
Bar and tables are conveniently placed. That’s all folks. 10 bucks to enter an empty bar on Friday night. Someone must have come up with an idea of, god forbid, "entertainers". But, pray, are these "entertainers" able to link few words together to make a sentence work? I thought. Just make it make sense, I thought. Verdict: modelo is good and cheap. Skip the rest.
It's great when you see a part of management come to the comment section and be passive aggressive in their own review. You want customers to believe you do the job properly and that all blame falls on the employees aka dancers for not following rules. As an OPERATION SUPERVISOR for many stores that produce 4.5 million in sales I will sates this EMPLOYEES are a clone of MANAGEMENT they see what you do and copy it anyone in business will tell u this. I do agree with Angelo though employees "aka dancers"do fire themselves with their own actions but if they are breaking rules it's because they were shown this is okay.. Good luck. Be mindful of where u loose your temper so customers can't see this. The dancer here were good and did well.. Environment not so great and establishment was dirty looking but it's a bar and dance club so it's expected to be a bit seedy. First time experience will be fun if anything..
UPDATE 10/20/23 - They have now added a stripper pole and started to expand the stage with a catwalk. The issue with the booths hasn’t changed, but it’s definitely more enjoyable to come and tip the stripper 🙂 Also, Awesome job with the Halloween decorations and new stage lighting ⭐️ 4/3/2- The new Xroom is a cross between a night club and a male dance club; which explains for the confusing layout. This is the first all male dance club I’ve ever been too where they don’t have a single stripper pole. The stage area is also small and awkward. You now have to reach over people sitting at tables in front of the stage to tip the entertainers. A longer catwalk stage with a pole and seats all around it would make it so much easier to tip and see the shows. Lastly, the positioning of the booths needs to move. To have them next to a brightly lit store with the owner sitting a few feet in-front of you makes you feel uncomfortable. Despite the issues I mentioned, there are some positives. The drag queens, male dancers, DJ and bar staff have always been nice and friendly to me. I like how the clubs has a couple of pool tables you can play on for a dollar. The rainbow lighting they put up above the bar is so festive and colorful, you feel comfortable knowing you are in an LGBTQ safe place.
