“Toolbox”
The performers touch you inappropriately. The bartenders are unfriendly and part of the queens' social circle. They let you run up a big tab before making it clear you're unwelcome because their clique doesn't want you there. I also doubt the performers report their income for taxes.

“Hit and miss”
The owner does his best to serve drinks you like, but the shows get boring and repetitive.

“Love this place!”
It's got a neighborhood bar vibe with attractive male dancers multiple nights a week. The bartenders are nice and pay good attention to customers. I wish this bar were in my own neighborhood!

“feels like a time warp”
It feels like a gay bar from 1995. Very dated.
