The Attic Bar and Stage
About this venue

It is home to the long-running Carly's Angels and operates with an explicit no-hate-speech standard. Come for a named show or a thoughtful dinner rather than assuming every service is a drag event.

Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical wait
Ticketed drag and burlesque brunches often need advance booking; ticket holders may take seats about an hour before the show. Ordinary dinner service is calmer, but the second-floor room is intimate enough that sold-out means genuinely full. Reserve both the show and table expectations rather than dropping in at curtai
Best time to visit
The third-Sunday Devilled Legs drag brunch and last-Friday Carly's Angels dates are the clearest queer anchors, while the first-Sunday burlesque brunch broadens the cabaret lane. A Thursday jazz dinner is softer and mixed. Pick the exact format because food service, age limit and showtime vary.
Locals vs visitors
Queer and femme performance audiences, vegan diners, couples, artists and Inglewood locals. Drag brunches can include established fans and celebration groups; comedy or jazz shifts the balance wider. It is a visibly inclusive cultural room, not an LGBTQ-only bar.
What people wear
Creative casual fits the velvet supper-club mood: colour, vintage, sequins and ordinary dinner clothes all work. There is no formal code. Dress for seated food service and a close performance, and confirm whether a brunch is 18+ before bringing younger family members.
Staff inclusion
The venue explicitly promises an inclusive room, runs queer and femme-curated programming and enforces a no-hate-speech standard for comedy. Those are strong signals. The second-floor location requires advance access checking; inclusive content does not erase a staircase or guarantee every seating layout works for ever
