The Brave Bull

Omg!?!?! A cool gay bar in Modesto…What a pleasant surprise!!?!?!Such a cute place with very nice staff including the owner from Holland.This place is now one of our favorites—-

Have loved this place for years! Always a great time without the drama of being hit on. can actually be yourself without worry. went with my oldest for a drink and a chat. hands down only place we both can agree on.drinks were on fire.

Went here to have a good time and was met with some of the worst service Ive ever experienced in my life. The door person was drunk and rude. The drinks were watered down and lets just say a child could make drinks cleaner and faster. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy

Picked up people from here before, and they were immature. Childish clientele, literally. I actively try to avoid this place.

These beauties always put on a great show! See me on Thursday nights for open mic hosted by Melinda, Moon, and sound by Nick! Fun spot to just be yourself 🌈💜🦋. Love you Brave Bull 😘!

The best unknown bar in Modesto. Don’t be thrown by the neighborhood. It’s a classic. Drag on Sunday nights is not to be missed!!

My party and I had minimal interaction with the staff as we attended the venue for an event so we pretty much kept to ourselves once checked in and were setup with our bottle service. The show started 30 mins behind schedule and there was no communication until right before starting. Yes, the DJ was playing music in the meantime, but nobody said we could actually get out on the dance floor. I was hoping for a really fun experience, but was disappointed. Im willing to give them one more try.

Love coming here for a night out to dance. Bartenders are awesome. Family owned and operated. Love these people! Both Caseys are amazing!!! Always a good ti.e when we come out here.

I hear a lot of storied about this place, but when you go you find out that its really cool! And historic! This place is great for winding down with its pool tables and the bartenders are always a good conversation away. This place offers weekly drag shows on Sundays which is pretty good, and this place has a circus Burlesque show that roars by on a monthly basis thats absolutely phenomenal!

They dont serve food. But the drinks are strong the queens are hot and the people are always ready for a good time.

Love the bartender, arcade machines, the karaoke and open mic nights, but I tried checking if they were open since Christmas but they’ve been closed. I couldn’t find any information or updates about their new schedule on Facebook or anything.

Been going to the Brave Bull 27- years, good atmosphere and good service, excellent music for dancing.

The girls did a fabulous show! The drinkS were amazing as always it felt so good to get out during such a crazy time but the wonderful people at the brave made it all feel insignificant. It was such a fun night!!! CANT WAIT TO GO AGAIN!!!

Cover 10-15$ exspensive for a weak show. Do not put card on tab lady will jack your prices and charge you way more than supposed to. Its obvious happens every time. But regardless if you get the man bartender other places do charge way less... and add more alcohol. Gender fluid bathrooms do need remodeling. Back outdoor area where you can smoke and drink is probably the best thing about this bar. Do not park at the outskirts ive heard people getting their cars broken into.

The drag shows are supposed to start at 11 but the drag queens don’t care about your time at all. They show up at 11:30 to get ready for the show and grab drinks and don’t care about their shows at all. These drag queens will never go anywhere. Be professional and care about peoples time. These are bottom level drag queens.

Im not eating only I pass exelente time me and my friend is my first time in that place I like music and atmosphere service nice people I see around and fun

They scam people! I tipped in cash and paid with card.They took extra money from me. The amount on my recipe wasnt what they took from me. Plus my wife had a jack and coke, I had a beer ( in the bottle) 15.25. But dont steal money from people! Give better service if you want a better tip.

The events that have transpired over the past few weeks at this bar are appalling. The staff members who have been involved in this situation have handled disagreements like children by having loud discussions in front of guests making the ambient uncomfortable and unwelcoming. There are other options out there, I advise anyone who is looking for a good time to seek another establishment.

Always a fun time and great people. Ive been to the Spanish drag shows and enjoyed very much. My first time to the English one and still had a blast!

This place struck me immediately as shady. Do not go here. The entertainment is poor, the crowd is not friendly or welcoming, the chairs were super unclean and the place was very bad in general. As a queer I did not feel safe here. Dont waste your time.

I went to the Drag Show and it was amazing.....everyone was very nice and the place just had a good vibe....really had a great time......I realy I would recommend you to go there he will definitely have an awesome time thanks Brave Bull

This bar has been around for years... So Ive heard! Its definitely worth checking out!! The management and staff are cool as hell! The venue is pretty sick too, including a stripper pole, and gogo stage, and disco balls! Ill be back forsure.

My best friend and I went on a Saturday night we pulled in and noticed from the outside it looked a bit scary no lie , but once we got in we met alot of nice people! The drinks were tasty and affordable and a disco ball! Fun times!

Danced. Had a great 7 & 7. Had a great got dog. Sang some karaoke. Danced. Met some great folks.

Love the queens love the vibes, LOVE THE KJ they have UGH Eva is amazingAnd the bartenders are like family I swear

This bar is the worst gay bar I’ve ever been too. The owners are trailer trash that don’t care about there customers safety or vehicles. There all about making a profit off of the gay community. If u want to get ripped off or into a fight or your car broken into then go here. They should be shut down for serving under age people and serving alcohol with bugs in it and will one day.

Theres a stripper pole and giant disco ball, and while I was there a band was playing Bob Marley songs and other ones, love this place its pretty chill, only bar I ever got jello shots from :)

Very nice and funny people. Bartender she was very nice. The drinks were on time. No waiting. Music is great too. Had a good time.

Thursday nights are open mic nights. Show starts at 9. A fun venue for artist to play more than 2 songs.

This place is legend and this Sunday (Memorial Weekend) is no exception with 2 DJs a DRAG SHOW hosted by: Katalina all for free. You can dance, play pool, listen to music, people watch, or swing around the stripper pole...there is always something going on and you can always be yourself. They say EVERYONE IS WELCOME!!! The BRAVE BULL ROCKS!

No judgment, just love🥰

With this place looks can be deceiving is soo true. From the outside it looks a little bit like a dive bar..but when i went inside i was really impressed..love the atmosphere in here..the bartenders are great.(kaysi).very friendly.i would recomend this place to anyone.

Cool peoples! Drag shows on Sundays! 11pm$7 cover charge at the door!

The back story to this place is amazing! They treat you like family here. Its like a Cheers with a little more flare! Come on down!

Drag shows started late. The jukebox doesnt work. The bartenders are kinda rude. Wont be returning.

Its fun and the shows are great. But they should open up the dance floor earlier!

I been foing here for 12 year and the ladys are just the best. I come to just talk about random things life hows life there like family for alot of people

Its a wonderful place that you can be yourself. The people are friemdly and the staff very friendly. I highly recomend it.Lady M.

This is a gay bar in a scary part of town! Im straight but I still go there once in a blue moon and I have met a few women there.

Cocktail 🍹 are reasonably priced, good atmosphere, bartenders add great 😃 experience!

Friends are owners feels like family when we spend time there never harassed by LGBT everyones accepted as they are

Compared to 6 yrs ago the clientel was empty I remember wen youd go in there and can barely find a seat now its like no one goes there anymore.For a sat night was very slow

Tomorrow night is going to be my first night going to a gay bar and Im single. Keep an eye out for me

What a damn mess. Dont touch anything. Have fear. This place has been here for over 40 years because everything inside is too sticky to pull apart.

The best club in town! The drinks are cheap and strong and the vibes are just the best!

One of the best gay bars you could possibly visit

Everyones always friendly and just my kind of quirky patrons

Awesome!! Met a lot of straight couples its meant for everyone

I love the trip to the past. This place needs a revival!!
