Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
: Walk-ins are around ₱400–₱500 depending on the night, but expect long queues wrapping down the stairs by midnight. Booking a table ahead via DM is heavily advised if you actually want a spot to put your drinks down.
Best night
Hit the floor by 11:30 PM to settle in before the main drag sets or themed segments kick off around 12:30 AM. Sundays are a solid shout if you want a slightly more breathable crowd experience.
Locals vs visitors
A wild blend of local Gen-Z tastemakers, hardcore Drag Race stans, the sex-positive alt-queer crowd, trans beauties, and groups of friends looking to scream lyrics together.
Dress code in practice
Wear your absolute wildest, sluttiest, or most hyper-pop outfit. If it's a theme night (like Trans Domination or Red Room), match the energy—skin, leather, mesh, and absolute main-character energy are highly encouraged.
Staff inclusion
Generally a super safe space curated by local queer heavyweights. Just note it's built more for a squad mentality—lone wolves might occasionally feel a little out of place during the peak weekend rushes.
