Cool Venue, great bands, and affordable drinks. Didn't try and of the food but it smelt good. They even sold ear plugs behind the counter which saved my ears from ringing the next day.

A divey goth bar with cozy moody lighting, fantastic cocktails, fun events and amaro flights??! Are you kidding me? It's perfect. I never thought I'd be able to sip nicely curated Italian liquors in a graffiti covered booth while looking at taxidermy and horror movies. If it was closer, I'd live here.

I went for drag show night and off the bat was a little uncomfortable. Its definitely not accessible or friendly to those who are disabled firstly. Second, the bouncer was rude, belligerently yelled at people for very little reasons and was called once on it by other staff. The bartender was nice, until he started talking about me in front of me to his coworker (legit just here trying to have a good night). The bar side was playing their music too loud and you couldnt hear the drag performances for the begining. Later on the bouncer was seen again terrorizing a group for drinking outside? They apologized and were leaving and he continued to insult and yell at them which was very inappropriate. They arent wecloming from my experience and from what i saw. I absolutely loved the show and my drink was very good so in that aspect it was great. The bouncer however definitely needs to work through his anger issues. Will not be going in if he's there, he makes it very uncomfortable to be outside or anywhere near the front.

Good vibes only ️ ️ Really queer friendly, good drinks. They add a slice of lime to vodka cranberries. Everyone else's reviews are pretty much spot on. There will probably be a cover charge any time there is music playing, so maybe check that in advance if that matters to you.

As soon as I got out my car a saw the bar. Live local bands play. The bartenders were sweet and made a well worth drink. It is on the loud side yet going Solo was cool too. Decor is incredible .

Loved the atmosphere, some friends and us meet up last night all dressed up in garb and had a great time. The server was polite and amazing. Look forward to more visits.

Why didn't anyone tell me this place was so rad? I'm so stoked to have discovered this killer alt nightlife spot. The venue itself is stunning and sports the decor to match. The staff are very accommodating and welcoming. Vax card required Killer drinks Low cost Cash only, but don't worry they have an ATM.

A Group of about 10 of us were out celebrating my sons 21st bday. We decided to check this bar out and immediately upon entering we were discriminated against. The Bar keeper was extremely rude. When we walked up to the bar I had gestured to him saying he was so tall and he immediately went to the extreme yelling and saying he wasn't going to serve me because I put my finger in his face. When I say extreme I mean being erratic and walking back and forth behind the bar and raising his voice for the whole bar to hear. Which was really embarrassing. I walked out and went with the rest of my group who were waiting by a table we had picked. This is where another situation started to escalate between another member of our group and the front door guy who was checking ID'S. The guy was yelling at my friend and kicking him out of the bar. I tried to deescalate the situation by calmly asking the guy what had happened and he screamed at me and kicked me out as well. They also had taken my friends nephews ID and wouldn't give it back. Another member of our party decided to go in and ask for it and they lied and said they didn't have it. I wouldn't recommend this bar to anyone. No one deserves to be treated the way we were treated.
