Second time visiting! Came on a Friday night for the dance party. It was pretty quiet. We are still in a pandemic 🤷🏾‍♀️ The AC is great! I don't appreciate stairs, to get inside, but they weren't overly steep so that helped. These pics are from Sunday karaoke. More people but still quaint. Leigh, the bartender, is really cool! I'd always seen advertisements for here but never went. They used to have PTs Caberet, back in the day (now it's Cook Out in Five Points).

Great little spot! Cheap drinks, good drag, and nice folks. Friendly and inviting without being an outrageously expensive night out. Will definitely come back next time I’m in town.

Fun and friendly bar! Brandon, Josh, and Austin are great bartenders and have amazing personalities. I went to the Saturday night drag show and the entertainers were phenomenal. Just so everyone knows, there is a $5 cover and the drinks are reasonably priced.They also have free customer parking. I will be returning.
