Came on a Tuesday not bad. They have industry pricing. Music was good. And the place was lively. Nice environment. Staff could been a little nicer and that would have been 5 stars.

It has a very nice vibe. Free to get in. Good music. It is hard to get the bartenders attention but the drinks were delicious.

Honestly, one of the best experiences I've had. It was full of really chill Black people and the music was lit. The bartenders were really responsive and fast. It had a long line but it was worth it and it really moved fast.

Fun bar for dancing and drinking. The bartenders here are always very friendly and quick. I rarely find myself waiting too long for drinks. I also love the lights in this place. They are a mass of regular light bulbs which makes them look almost cloud like.

Most of people are just not into rap at gay bars. Business has the right to choose their own genre of music.
