Great bar, crowd and impeccable cocktails. Sadly, had to leave due to an asthma attack triggered by one of the plants. I would review those plants and ensure they are hypoallergenic! Also, as a dj myself, I was expecting a better sound system for such a nice place! If they invest into a better sound system it would be perfect. Wish I could say I’ll come back but I cannot due to the plants! Thanks for the great service nonetheless — Great people

The vibe was great. Definitely a safe space for everyone. The drinks were not it though. A few people in my group ordered some of their specials and they all disliked them. I ordered a Paloma and it did not taste like a Paloma at all - bartender added so many extra ingredients; the guy next to me even questioned the drink. The music was decent but the dj kept turning the music up louder and louder every 10 minutes. A clown showed up.. random. Bartenders did tell you up front about the automatic 16% gratuity charge.

I’m a tourist and have only been here once, but I had a great experience. The bartender was friendly, and it was a fun nightlife experience being surrounded by lots of other queer ladies. We need more spaces for sapphic women like these. Yeah there was a cover charge and mandatory tips, but it’s important for the staff and venue to make money. I thought the charges were totally reasonable, and I have no complaints

The decor / interior design of the place is lovely!!! Good vibes, a couple different rooms for sitting + a dance floor. The bar tender was nice. Parking is a little hard to find & sometimes it gets a bit too loud in there but other than that, the place looks great!

Never had a bad time here! The crowd errs on the young side, but no surprises there, and it's pretty diverse overall. Music varies in danceability based on the DJ, but they are overall good, and special nights like karaoke or games have been very fun. Great to attend with friends and/or your GF.

The vibes of the place were great and the bartenders were nice and attentive. The DJ was pretty bad - notably poor transitions but good song selection. It became a bit of a running joke, but we stuck around for the overall environment. The downside was the automatic 18% tip as part of the bill. The bartender thankfully let me know over the loud music. I was glad she did - as I was ready to drop cash into their tip jar. I didn't see the 18% inclusion mentioned on the drinks menu, but I may have missed it.

I went here tonight because it was an acquaintance’s of mine’s birthday and we were invited to come out and celebrate. A group of guy friends and I ordered drinks as soon as we stepped in. It was kind of late and we were chill, just settling into a room that was mostly just people dancing on the dance floor. Keep in mind my friends and I are “straight passing” hispanic men The girl bartender walks over to us from in front of the bar, after us being there for all of 5-10 minutes and said: ”hey this is a room full of mostly gay people and you standing here makes them uncomfortable. Can you go stand over there?” I couldn’t believe my ears. It felt like the equivalent of somebody saying “you have to sit in the back of the bus because your existence is making these white people uncomfortable”. It takes a whole lot of prejudice to come up to a group of people who are minding their own business and say something like that. And even further the assumption of my sexuality from anyone (let alone a business) and then being removed from a space based on that is so backwards to everything I believe in; I can’t even begin to tell you how much that makes my blood boil. I’ve been to gay bars all around the world and this is the least “safe place” I‘ve ever experienced. I will never come back.

MANDATORY 18% Tip on every drink and they don't even tell you. They tell you at the end when they finish serving it to you and you're about to pay Ridiculous, they should tell you before... so outrageous! And they have the audacity to pull out the option for more tip NO A/C I went on Saturday, was packed like sardines with no A/C. It took an hour to go inside! You would think with a long line and wait to go inside that it would be a good bar! They only played YT People Music it was so boring. Regret waiting in line for that long for a boring time. Also watch out , a young girl got roofied inside that bar when I was there. Not saying it's the bars fault but they did kick her out of the bar instead of making sure she was okay. The poor girl was clearly in pain and out of it. Never again. Also a bunch of straight girls taking over LESBIAN BARS. Talk about Gaytrificationnnnnnn
