Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
Reservations are strongly useful: arrive at least 30 minutes before showtime for seating and service. Cover and food or drink minimums are separate.
Best night
Friday and Saturday offer two evening shows; Sunday is the brunch format. Choose the exact seating rather than treating the building as an all-night bar.
Locals vs visitors
Drag fans, LGBTQ+ visitors, long-time patrons, celebrations and tourist groups sit together in a performance-focused room.
Dress code in practice
The current booking listing says casual. Bring performer tips and avoid blocking sightlines or crossing service paths.
Staff inclusion
A 56-year drag performance history is clear evidence; current listings also identify wheelchair access, though seating needs should be added to the reservation.
