I went with friends on Saturday night. I was surprised by the Dj and his music selection, love it, 70s and 80s hits. You can feel the disco vibe. Everyone was enjoying. The drinks are delightful, the bartenders so friendly and helpful. I had a great time there. Ill totally recommend 👌 if you are up to dance all night long and have fun with friends. Ill be back soon.

I admit I am about to sound like a crumuggedeon --and yes. its Pride Fest weekend ...I was likely there during a busy Friday night and probably they were understaffed and genuinely doing their best.1) The bartender rudely skipped me and a stranger (after acknowledging us) and made us wait for the next pass, 2) the drinks (eventually made by his colleague) were wrong, 3) I had to insist on getting a receipt, 4) all that happens ...and then youre asking for a 45% tip? Yikes. [ETA: 5) the music was super fun, tho the audio quality was really loud and of frustrating quality-- a bummer because the DJs music selections would have kept us there alone if the sound system wasnt hurting my ears (even with ear plugs).]

Drinks are responsible priced and music is good. Best Drag Race viewing experience in Chicago (busy and full of people but not overly loud and crowded)

Loud (where isnt) and wild. At least the night I went. Had a blast, and the decor was great. Service was exceptional too considering the crowd.

Updated..walk in, bartender says hi, I stand at bar, then I sit, money in hand. Bartender washes dishes, cuts up with friends, ...sir I would like to spend money at your establishment, ..ok youre to busy washing a glass and chatting... Bye.Bar wasnt busy... Guess that impression will last. Wont bother to go back for a while...Old review:Fun bar, been going recently and enjoying it.

Great bartenders (especially Felix), DJs and overall vibes. Its the place to be on the weekend in Andersonville. Only dance floor in the neighborhood.

I loved out here, although its not really for someone like me. As a female in a gay mans bar, I did feel that I was out of place.

Always a good hang out for me. The usual patrons are easy going, relaxed and conversational. The staff is efficient, friendly and courteous. Drinks are well poured and the dancers are approachable and inviting. Go have a drink and tell me what you think.

Always a great time! Ths staff is friendly and efficient & drinks poured well. The owner is a great guy never too busy to address any issues or hear suggestions that would contribute to a fun evening. Always striving to stay fresh & relevant they change things up to keep it from becoming just another stale boring neighborhood has been.

Atmosphere used to be kind of a joke, but its really come into its own these past few years as a fantastic and bumpin lil neighborhood gay bar. And given how exclusionary gay bars can be, its refreshing seeing queer people work here who arent just cis men, which goes a long way in creating an environment that caters to the whole queer community.

Cash only with a high-fee ATM next to the bar. The drinks are cheap and strong -- which is good. There are attractive dancers that seem to be more interested in the female clientele than the men, in a gay bar.

I like to have a nice banter with my bartenders, but this guy on Sunday 10/3 was a bit of a jerk. I’ve been here a lot over the years, but I felt unwelcome. I wish him the best, but he needs a lesson in hospitality.

The wait staff are friendly, allowed us to choose our seating area. The menu offers great choice and the prizes are decent. The atmosphere is great. The place is quiet, so you can have a conversation without shouting. A great place to bring a date to.

Great gay bar in andersonville, it’s been a staple of the area for years. Seems to have gotten even better over time especially as a place to dance when not many other locations in the neighborhood have space for it!

Review №16

Racist as hell. Walked in on a Friday night. Heard Prince music being played. Went to sit at the bar and sat down. Bartender never ask me what. I like to drink. But 2 white gay men sat down several minutes after I did and bartendar was able to wait on them. But ignore me. I guess it was my skin color. Never again. Ill go party elsewhere honey.

Charlie does a great job or running this place. Not a lot of people go here, unfortunately. They have better eye candy as far as strippers are concerned.
