If you're looking for some great drink prices and a laid-back atmosphere on a weekday afternoon, this is an alright place to go to. The bartender was nice, and they loaded our drinks up nicely. You do not have to be gay to go here.

I always find a gay bar on travel, and this was even more important since I’m traveling in the south as a solo queer female traveler. I’m so glad I did. I had such a good time. Friendly servers, awesome drag show, and fun dance music between shows. I love a good Happy Hour too, three dollar beers. Say less. ️‍ ️‍

Shoutout to Connor for being one of the coolest bartenders we’ve ever stumbled across! This place had a real “locals” feel, where everyone knew everyone.

This was my first drag show, so I don't know what it's "supposed" to be like, but we had so much fun! Unlike other reviewers, we had no issues with the bartenders being rude. The performances were awesome, and the overall energy was so positive and fun. I'm glad we decided to come here!

1st time visit and expected to see the early drag show @8p but there was scarcely a crowd to perform in front of until the 2nd show @ 9:45p. Things definitely turn't up.. and the music & the show was very good! The only detractor was being solicited by a guy down on his luck asking for money to get some food. Which surprised me because there was a $5 admission @ the door and I wondered why he was inside the club. He admitted to me that they know him at the front door and let him inside. Whatever the truth was I gave him a few $$ and told him with a stern look ,to not let me see him at the bar with a drink! He disappeared for the night. Still had a good time @ Dudley's though!

Came here for pride with my friends the bartenders were unapproachable, unprofessional and highly biased. My friend and I are poc's and one of their bartender specifically made us feel very uncomfortable and unwanted. After getting into the bar he tried to I'd us a second time even this we already got cared. My friend id has some wear and tear and he pressured her to ripe the film off her id. I tried to hold him accountable after he tired to keep her id. He was very argumentative and verbally elevated the situation and kicked us out. The bouncer that checked us in did a 360 and said he never checked out id's. Overall for my first experience highly underwhelming. To think this gay bar would be a welcoming place. Just Disappointed in the management and staff.

Discovered this great little spot while playing tourist in Charleston. Bartender Connor was most welcoming to this out-of-towner, introducing me to several of his regular happy-hour customers. Lots of fun!
