The main room has a honky-tonk feel, with simple decor and pool tables. A dining area has a bar decorated with discarded bras, and a stage for karaoke. Down a hallway, the cavernous Tomb Room hosts dancing and live drag shows. Weekend nights, the dark dance floor flashes with streams of light as female couples and singles take the floor. The rest of the time, it’s a laid-back place to hang out or play pool.

Hey Ladies! I finally got to visit the club after wanting to check it out for what seems like forever! I received a very warm welcome, and I even got enough courage to get up and sing! Dang was I nervous, but everybody was so kind. I loved the atmosphere! Can’t wait to go back! Thanks ladies! ~Kat
Where else can a queer gal sing, dance, strip (or just watch), play pool or games, meet awesome girls, and get good service no backtalk? The staff are dedicated and expert, might I add talented and friendly? They hold creative things often like the annual wet Tshirt contest, but, if that kind of thing makes you squeamish, there are mellower niches. This is a place you can go either with friends or if you want to meet some. You can even be a fly on the wall. Yes it’s a bit smoky in there.
The ER, as the regulars call it, is always on the list for places to go. There’s everything, karaoke, pool, video poker, dancing, a dj, good drinks, nice bartenders and lots of lesbians. What more could you want?
I relocated from South Florida which boasts the best clubs. I disagree. (Way too much attitude) I guess it depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for a friendly place with a laid back atmosphere, then this is the place for you. One of the main reasons I like it is the 3 different areas. You could be dancing one minute and then go shoot pool or maybe sitdown and watch the karayoke. You won’t get attitude at this bar. A lot of fun and a great place.
Love it, Love it, Love it !! Great place to just hang out and have some fun. Enjoy pool, jukebox and lots of conversation. Not too smoky and very friendly staff. You can even just come to unwind. Great Lesbian Hang-out. See ya there !!
Considering that there are few options for me and my wife to go out on the town, this place fit the bill. But, by the time we left, my eyes were sore and she was coughing. Obviously we aren’t smokers so if A LOT of smoke doesn’t bother you, this place will be near a perfect 10.
Never been to a G-L bar before and I am relativly new to the State. When this place was recommended it I still sighed away. But it was great they made this girl of color feel right at home.
Pros: waiters, atmosphere, people
I’ve been going to this bar for over a year now, and still love it! Not only can you choose where you wanna hang out in the bar….in one of their 3 rooms, which all include a full service bar. Plus they have the best french fries around!!! The staff is great, and the owners treat their employees like family. Like any bar there is smoking in all rooms, so be aware for non-smokers. Straight, bi, or gay you’re more then welcome into the bar. The usual people that go to the bar will welcome you with open arms as they all have a good time.
