“ Visited for the first time on a burlesque night. The vibe, crowd and show were amazing. I can't wait to come bak next time I'm in town ”
“ I've been going here for years, back when it was known as the "Townhouse" and now in its newer form. The updates they've done to the place since it changed hands and was renamed are small but noticeable, and enhance the experience. It's a small-town bar, and feels that way. Friendly and easy going. ”
“ I love this place. It's my favorite sapphic space in the Twin Cities. The vibes are immaculate. The shows are always wonderful. The drinks, food and service are great. Getting there is easy. It's right on the green line light rail if you are using public transportation and the parking is good if you drive there. ”
“ It's definitely louder and more event centered than other queer spaces in the twin cities, but their prices are ok, and the crowd is usually nice. Occasionally, you'll get stuck paying for a cover for an event, even if you just sit on the patio or elsewhere. The public transit options make it a great choice! ”

“ Great soccer bar / queer bar. Burlesque shows, dance nights, and deep & thorough soccer game watch schedules. Nice patio. Have not tried the food. Restrooms are not gendered, only marked with what facilities they contain - stalls, urinals. See? It's not that hard, rest of the world, take some lessons. ”
