The Baton Show Lounge

Fun place to be entertained and have some fun. The show they put on us entertaining and the food was good. Drinks were good and strong. Definitely go check this place out .

Always a good time at a drag show. I used to go to the Clark Street location, but last night was my first time at the new spot on Broadway. I introduced my firstborn daughter to the world of drag, and she absolutely loved it. They made her feel so welcome. I always have a great time at The Baton. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, a divorce, a wedding, or just life—go celebrate with the Baton crew. Oh my God, I love everyone, but the Puerto Rican Papi, Angel, always holds a special place in my heart. I love him. He’s like a living Ken doll. I love seeing my queens on stage and a packed crowd, but this weekend had a lot of other events going on. Still, I’ll definitely be returning. Have your singles or fives ready to tip these hard-working queens. And did I mention how amazing they all smell and how absolutely gorgeous they are? Omg.

A different and fun experience. We made it to the 7:30 show. The appetizers and drinks were good. The staff was very attentive. Make sure you have some cash to tip the performers

I understand that The Baton is under new ownership and currently undergoing some upgrades and renovations, and while that’s a good start, the building isn’t the only thing that needs attention. There are much deeper issues here, and unfortunately, they begin with the staff and extend to the food and drinks. I’m not sure if the staff carried over from the previous ownership or if they were brought on by the new management, but either way, some serious re-evaluations need to happen. Our waitress, Barbie, was not friendly, attentive, or welcoming. Frankly, she’s not a people person and shouldn’t be in a customer-facing role. There were four of us in our party, and we hadn’t had dinner before arriving, so we figured we’d grab something there. That turned out to be a mistake. Based on the look and feel of the place, I was already a bit uneasy about what might come out of the kitchen, so I played it safe with mozzarella sticks. Another person in our group ordered the nachos. She said she was so hungry she had to eat something, but how she managed to eat any of those nachos is beyond me. I tried one and it was absolutely disgusting. There was something seriously off about the cheese. It tasted wrong, artificial, maybe even spoiled. To make matters worse, one of the food orders was incorrect and it took forever to get what was originally requested. As for the drinks, they were no better. I ordered the same drink, an old fashioned, three times, and not once did it come out the same. One time, what I received wasn’t even an old fashioned at all. When I brought this up, Barbie seemed to argue with me about it, which I found incredibly unprofessional and frustrating. The bartender also needs to be seriously evaluated. Consistency and basic cocktail knowledge are fundamental, and sadly, neither were present. I truly hope the new ownership takes a hard look at what’s going on inside this establishment. It's one thing to fix the exterior, but if the service and food don’t improve, I don’t see The Baton lasting long. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I won’t be stepping foot back inside.

I was blown away by one of best drag queen shows of my life! This place was extraordinary & the team put on a fantastic yet elegant show! You can tell they're passionate & love what they do by how they dance & engage with the audience. My favourite was the Diana Ross & Whitney Houston act. Great atmosphere topped with a theatrical stage adorned with disco balls. Highly recommend coming here for a one of a kind experience.

The outdoor space is the perfect spot for physically distant and Coronavirus-responsible entertainment and casual beverages. they have an awning to prevent too much sun and the performers are always amazing. get there soon to see the French phenom...who is gorgeous!

Loved everything about the experience! I was taken there to celebrate my birthday. Vonda sang happy birthday to me and we enjoyed such a wonderful and entertaining show!! The drinks are amazing and the frozen margarita is to die for!!
