    They don't have food which sucks. They have great music and service. They just get really crowded at the bar.

    Dragqueens were great but we didn't stay long because some pervert in a Harry Potter robe was sexually harassing people.

    Not a bad place for a town like fort Wayne. It's as close to Indy or Chicago as you'll get in the area.

    Ask the Community - After Dark Nightclub

    Do you have to pay to get in?

    Yes, $5 cover, they take cash only, there's an ATM inside if you want to go that route. Cheaper to stop by your bank first though.

    Me and my fiancé are moving out here soon hopefully! Is this a good club to meet some friends?

    Frick Yeah!

Corn field on both sides of you, maybe a horse and buggy in front of you, the occasional religious semi-inspirational, "God Bless You." I drove back and forth and the only thing that looks like it might possibly fit the description of this place is a corn silo, everything else is housing and barns. I thought maybe I had completely misunderstood the directions. Once I got back from my drive through the country I checked the location on Google, try it. Do you notice it places the restaurant in Michigan? I'd really like a Gay bar/Lounge/Mexican Restaurant near my house, but this rainbow doesn't seem to actually touchdown anywhere.

The kind of meaning when ladies kiss ladies? Well, that lesson will help when visiting Julia's. This place is a mix between Mexican restaurant, gay bar and outdoor lounge. Karaoke on Friday nights is simple but sufficient (Morrissey, The Cure, Depeche Mode and lots of Top 40 stuff), and the host really can sing quite nicely. Drinks are cheap and potent, with a list of special shots on the wall. Beers were just over $2, and shots ran about $3.50 apiece. I wasn't hungry enough to try Julia's wet burritos, but I'm told they're phenomenal.

She made great recommendations and helped us decide based on our time constraints. She was attentive and gave us a lot of information about the food, live music, DJ and art for sale on all the walls. We weren't super hungry, so we tried the flatbread - sooo good. I will be back because the whole menu, including the drinks, sound wonderful. They offered zero spirit, GL and other substitutions if needed which is nice. The atmosphere has a moody, darker hang out vibe to it. I loved it and can't wait to bring some friends and family back! She recommended reservations on the weekends, especially on "First Fridays" as that's when they do events and an art crawl on Broadway when the weather is nice. We parked on the street in front of the building so I'm not sure if there is a parking lot. They do have outdoor seating as well in the front of the building. I remember when this location was a food co-op waaaaaaay back in the day. They did a great job transforming it into a relaxing bar and restaurant. We will go back and I highly recommend you check it out!

But then you're presented with this shiny chandelier, illuminating this wide chamber, and hovering over a smooth, curved bar. The sides of this huge dining space are lined with dining tables, and walls lined with artwork, making the name quite appropriate. Subtle haloes of light dot the ceiling, and the color palette of the place (besides that big ol' chandelier) is dark, cool, and easy on the eyes. I took a seat at the main bar and was served within minutes. I enjoyed some light pop, rap, and classic rock tunes bumping in the background while I sipped on a delightful Smoked Apple Reserve. Every sip was a punch of sweetness, followed by an air of smokiness, and just a splash of herby aftertaste. It was however, not the kind of drink you could chug, so I sipped slowly throughout my meal. I'll have to come back for the appetizers, as I hear they're the star of the show, but neither the flatbreads nor the traditional bar-fare excited me. Thanks to Yelp though, I learned of the Blueberry and Brie Grilled Cheese, which I'd initially dismissed due to my dislike of Brie - the cheese and her portrayal of Captain Marvel, let's be honest. But I gave it a chance and ~woah~ it was something else. First of all, it's a perfectly cooked grilled cheese, with a flaky, crunchy exterior and addictingly cheesy inside, however I was ~taken aback~ by the flavor. I think I honestly had a Ratatouille moment, where that flavor of berry compote transported me to my childhood, chowing down on blueberry pancakes on Friday morning before school. At the same time, it doesn't dominate the flavor profile - it adds a subtle and satisfying sweetness to the creamy richness of the melted Brie, and it does it oh so well. The plentiful pieces of proscuitto provided some palatable protein, while also being a contrast in flavor and feel to the Berry and Brie. The fries were a little heavy on the straight potato flavor and not so much on seasoning and salt, but some garlic aioli did the trick there. The service was superb and the atmosphere was nothing like I've experienced in this city. I didn't expect to love this place as much as I did, but I can't wait to come back to try more apps, drinks, and return to that beautiful blueberry and brie...

It was so loud on this night that we struggled to have dinner conversation. The fry flight was fun for the party to sample. The tots were nice and crisp and meaty. The sweet potato fries had a bold sweet potato taste but were disappointingly limp - first time they have been this way. The flat fries were uniquely thin and crispy. The cheese sauce was a unique blend of different cheeses that didn't taste like cheese. More of a smooth, mild and somewhat plain sauce. The ketchup had a nice bold tomato taste. The ranch dip was fairly unique with very faint ranch and oil taste. My wife loved the Southwest bowl. Very fresh and with lots of healthy add ins. The marinaded chicken was very moist and seasoned nicely. The guacamole was very tasty. The short rib beef stroganoff had an outstanding beef taste. The meat was moist and tender - easily pulled apart. The sauce was very light so that it let the natural beef juices dominate the taste. No heavy sour creme taste here. The noodle were perfectly cooked to a firm consistency.
