The place is beautifully decorated and very artsy. Went with family for a Taylor Swift drag brunch. The food was great and good service. The show was the highlight of our trip. Tickets were needed to attend, which can be bought through their website.

Trendy queer space to hang out at. More upscale than a regular dive bar for sure. Food and drinks are a bit on the pricey side but I get why. Alot of my lesbian friends frequent this place but overall its very welcoming to everyone.
