"This gay bar has an awesome vibe! The lights and music are super nice, and the crowd is always lively and welcoming. There are two main floor areas where you can dance and let loose, plus a really nice outdoor spot if you want to chill. I also love that there are quieter zones where you can just grab a drink and relax away from the noise. It’s a great mix of energy and chill vibes, making it the perfect place for a night out, whether you want to party or hang with friends."

Really glad I came to this place and experienced before when it didn't suck so bad. I don't know how many complaints it's going to take for this place to realize how ridiculous their staff is. I wasn't let in because my card was slightly bent and the card reader wouldn't process. I truly thought they were joking when they said that. I got into 3 other bars just fine because they have common sense and know what a legit ID looks like/don't fully rely on a card reader. Another time my friend tripped in heels and we were kicked out even when we were fully responsive and had cut ourselves off hours ago (honestly we came into the bar absolutely drunk and no one bat an eye.) I asked for water once when I was about to get sick and waited forever, didn't say anything. I knew they were overwhelmed but, all you have to do is grab it and hand it to me. My friend mentioned I just needed water and it would take the bartender 1 second. They snapped at us and took even longer on purpose. Your staff is a joke and your business is clearly being effected by it with these low reviews.

According to the staff and manager there, there are no cameras in the establishment. So if you end up having an altercation with someone or even get hurt, don't expect any help or anything concrete for evidence. Most unsafe "safe" space in all of Omaha

You know there is an issue with your door staff if the Omaha cops sitting outside say they are "heavy-handed" and frequently go overboard. The way I saw them speak and act to innocuous individuals in front of me was an instant turn-off and my group promptly left. There are fantastic bars around downtown Omaha (Flixx and Omaha Mining Company) that are much more deserving of your money. Maybe you can use the proceeds from your obscene cover charges to get your bouncers the anger management classes they clearly need.

Pretty sure someone drugged my drink. Thankfully my friend got me home but the more people I talk to about it the more horrific stories I hear about people getting drugged and then assaulted in the bathrooms. Please be careful here, especially if you’re a younger person and always always always make sure your friends get home safe.

The music is fun but one room was a lot quieter than the other and it didn't fill it. The bartender we had wasn't the friendliest. The lights were amazing though and the one room that had music at the appropriate level was absolutely fantastic. I've been told this is the number one club in Omaha. It was certainly packed by the time we left. It filled up by 11pm the Saturday night we came to visit. Pro tip: they only accept cash. There is an ATM inside that you can pull cash out of.

To be honest, I've never seen such an empty club in my life. I'm not from the area, and didn't know what kind of night life to expect, but even in my much smaller city you can count on local clubs to be busy on a Thursday night.
