The SunTrapp

Visited during a business trip and stopped in on a karaoke night. It wasn’t super busy but the service was good, drink prices were reasonable, has a good sized patio and the atmosphere was low key.

Very happy to see this fine, historical establishment is reopened. Pros • great vibe, indoors and out • same lovely people, same musk, same atmosphere •Better music!!! Honestly a relief from Milk and Vers Neutral • Never had an AMF taste like that before Cons •very slo bartenders (but they’re probably still new since it opened recently! The lines were very long, and I spent longer at the bar than necessary) • Bar menu very small and rotates out too fast to read! • never had a Tokyo Tea like that

The trapp is an amazing safe space for myself and my queer friends to relax, socialize, and dance. The security make sure we’re all enjoying ourselves, but don’t hesitate to take action and accountability when necessary. The bar staff are very friendly, and knowledgeable about mixing and making drinks not on the menu. The menu inside is accessible to all patrons, and easy to read. The bathrooms are clean, and easily accessible including a bathroom for ADA accommodations. The owner is an angel, as she walks around and talks to all patrons, welcoming them and making them feel safe and valuable. The drag queens are very friendly, and encourage inclusion and respect, especially to those who don’t consume alcohol, and also encourage people to never drink and drive. I look forward to the future of SunTrapp and can’t wait for the memories with my friends to come.

This place is a hit or miss. Some times it will have a really good music, other times the music is just not it, I guess depends on the DJ? They need to play more Latin music not just electro music. Also the place is always so freaking packed it’s hard to dance or move around!! Another thing, the drinks used to be cheap and would come in a big cup, now they are more expensive and in a little cup, not worth the money!!

I have never felt so unsafe in a queer space. Visiting The Sun Trapp for the first time with a friend new to nightlife, I was alarmed by the hostility we faced. Shortly after we arrived, I was physically assaulted by an intoxicated patron who, with his boyfriend’s influence over the bartender, got our service refused. Though the manager was receptive and they left, the bartender’s immediate choice to side with them was deeply unsettling. Later in the evening, another guest acted inappropriately towards both me and my friend, causing me to spill my drink. We chose to leave, disturbed by the lack of accountability and safety here. This experience made me feel unwelcome and unprotected. I urge others to consider this if planning a visit to The Sun Trapp.

Great place. Atmosphere has changed drastically. The culture of pride has been erased a bit. Wtf is in the water though, either it’s straight from the hose or they never clean the jugs.

Pleasantly surprised! I stopped in on Friday because I heard about the reopening and had low expectations—historically the staff has been somewhat unfriendly and the music was awful—that’s all changed! You can tell the new owner and staff have put a lot of love into making the Sun Trapp a safe and welcoming space. The line to get in was long but worth the wait. Thanks to Mary for bringing this iconic place back and making it better than ever! ❤️

I love suntrapp and having an inclusive place in the city. I wish that when they did theme nights they would actually play songs form that artist. Themed nights are always busier than normal nights but they don’t stick on theme.
