Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
Minimal on weeknights, but lines regularly form down Broadway on Friday and Saturday nights, especially during signature drag shows, themed dance parties, or holiday weekends. Expect a 15–30 minute wait during peak arrivals (10:30 PM – 11:30 PM).
Best night
Head over between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM, Tuesday through Saturday, to catch their excellent Happy Hour drinks and food specials. If you are looking for peak dance-floor energy and performances, arrive by 10:00 PM on Friday or Saturday.
Locals vs visitors
An incredibly diverse, local, and cross-sectional slice of the LA queer community. It leans heavily toward alternative crowds, tech/art professionals, bears, drag enthusiasts, and trans folks. It is noticeably less corporate and more inclusive than typical mainstream clubs.
Dress code in practice
Come as you are. You will see everything from casual t-shirts and jeans to full leather, harness gear, punk aesthetics, and high-glam drag. There is no strict dress code—expression is highly encouraged.
Staff inclusion
Highly rated for its intentional community curation. The bar serves as an explicit transgender safe space. Security, floor staff, and bartenders are deeply embedded in the local queer scene, ensuring a fast, respectful, and protected environment for patrons.
