Had a great time, definitely get there early if you want to get parking (paid 15.00) arrived at 8:45 pm. **Bring cash**. Drinks are fairly priced. While inside.. it can get very crowded, as the night goes on. The AC (81 degrees) inside can't handle the number of people, so make sure you go get fresh air in the back terrace opening so you don't pass out. Left at 1 am due to overcrowding and unable to breathe in the main stage area. Need better ventilation and insulation. Fans can only do so much. Suggestion- Have the events play on the TV inside so others can watch while in other areas of the venue to avoid the over crowding in one place.

Its been a few years since Ive been here and I love the vibe being back. I can tell there have been some lovely changes. The attendance was a very balanced mix of LGBT generations and all in good spirit. Not like other gay clubs that tend to attract packs of bachelorette parties or groups of creepy predator types. I love that the security staff wear shirts labeled Safety with a shield. And the bartender serving me was real friend and recognized me amongst the crowd. All the music choices in the main room were on point and the DJ’s transitions were crisp. And of course its always a delight to see that Roxxxy is still hosting the nightly drag show. This really felt like a welcoming and positive place to come back to.

This place is awful!! Me and my partner were in line for the bathrooms . This guy approached us and started to dance with me. He grabbed my hand and waved me to come with him. Silly me thought he was bringing me to a less crowded bathroom. He brought us outside . Grabbed our hands and ripped our wrist bands off . He then said”have a good night”. I was so confused . We were not drunk or anything. We were just standing in line to the bathroom. We sat there as we ordered a Uber. We watched him do it to MANY other people. We started talking to the people coming out . They said the same thing. They were in the line for the bathroom. He then takes pictures of the people leaving. When I walked up to get a picture of him. He posed , then went to tell the officer that we took a picture. We paid a total of $55 each. For what? There was a huge line at the door for people to get in. After reading some reviews I see that they do this that way they can have room for others to get in and collect more money. There needs to be something done about this.

I really didn't like the place. I had a much better experience here about two years ago, but now it's gone downhill. The atmosphere has changed, and outside, there's a strong smell of marijuana from people smoking, which really detracts from the experience. Overall, it was disappointing and not at all what it used to be. (Only the barman was great! Kudos for him!)

If I could give it a zero i would! Worst place ever. My friend and I literally got kicked out for telling a security that she was skipping the bathroom line. She literally exploded at us and called to have us kicked out. They didn't give us a refund or anything. Then when I was explaining the situation, one guy said it didn't matter and that my friend was cursing at her and it wasn't safe. When I explained that the security started cursing at us for no reason, I told him that the security wasn't safe to be there and i asked him how is she safe and he couldn't answer me. Worst place ever!

I am never coming here again, it’s bad luck. Last month, on 9/30 someone stole my phone. They pickpocket like crazy here(it’s a red iphone with clouds on the case). Then I came back this weekend, 10/12, and got kicked out for no reason. They said I was too drunk but I didn’t even order a drink nor was I drunk. I had only been there with my friends for about 40 minutes and they were the only ones that were drunk. I honestly don’t feel safe here. Not to be myself or to even have my belongings with me. The energy about this place is just bad.

Have been here plenty of times with no problems at all but tonight was a huge problem. Me and my partner were walking from one room to another and he was stopped with no explanation at all and kicked out. During this process one of the security guards punched him in the face and another pushed me to the ground, and us still not knowing why were told to go outside, they said we will talk outside. Went outside and no one talked to us except for a police officer, whom wasn’t involved at all. Never spending a dime at this place ever again there are other and better gay clubs around.

I've been a regular customer here for 3 years. I was just going to write a review to praise them but unfortunately, I had a very bad experience on Halloween night 2024. The line was long. My group waited patiently to get in. We even paid cash. However, when I walked 'outside' (means I was still inside the fence, I haven't stepped outside of the property) to take a look at the crowd so I could time my Uber order, the security guard wouldn't let me back in. She said you were already outside, you'd have to go. I go to the front porch to check all the time and this has never happened to me before. We already paid extra and waited so long in line to enter the club and then we were not allowed to go back in even though we hadn't left the property? This is the worst customer service I've ever received at this venue. I suppose I will not come back here so often and inform my friends and colleagues about this incident.
