A friend and I spent NYE here and had a blast. Saw a ton of great local drag queens + Raja Gemini and Naomi Smalls. All the Bartenders and other staff we interacted with were super nice and helpful. Going into it, especially on NYE I didn't know what to expect in terms of safety but I cannot remember feeling unsafe or uncomfortable even once (as a college age girl still very new to the LGBTQIA+ club scene). The music was a good mix of modern queer hits + a few throwbacks. There were also plenty of non-alcoholic options for DDs. The atmosphere overall was just super welcoming and I would go again in a heartbeat !

I have been to Axis for shows I was involved with a few times now. The stage is pretty big, and they now have a drop-down curtain that hides it before the shows begin. Axis is definitely a top place for drag shows in Columbus, and the Queens they book are amazing. There is a balcony surrounding the dual-level center area, which provides for cool additional viewing space and ensures that everyone can always see the stage. The stage is equipped for aerial acts as well. There is a bar in the center, raised up, which is always super quick with service. The dressing room area above/behind the stage features awesome vanities with lighting, and plenty of space for a team of performers to get ready. There is also another small room downstairs for quick changes. It's a great place to perform. The one hilarious thing is that the sound system has such a strong subwoofer that is located underneath the bar, that if you aren't careful, your drinks will literally fly off the table when the bass drops if you're seated at one of the tables on the bar level. When I went to tell the bartender, they replaced our drinks immediately with a smirk, because I guess it happens all the time! lol.

Blank screen (technical difficulties getting it up) couldn't see show.

Axis has its pros and cons. I'll get the cons out of the way first. Generally have to pay a cover just to get in and the drinks are bit pricey for what you get. However cant complain too much because I do understand they have to pay their performers somehow. Pros: Precovid I LOVE coming here to dance, let loose and have a fun carefree time. This will for sure be first on my list to come back when restrictions are all lifted. Everyone here is very friendly the other patrons and the staff! I would also like to touch on my most recent experience on 03/26/21. I reserved 2 tables upstairs in the VIP section (with no stage view) which was advertised so I'm not upset about that part. However I am upset that CCIV footage was advertised to be on the television up there. The only thing on the screen was the performers cash app and venmo. Respect that, but that's not CCIV footage of the show especially when I paid OVER $100 JUST TO RESEVE TWO TABLES! I informed the staff and he quickly took action & said he told the guy in the booth & that it would be up shortly. It did take them awhile to get it up, but it was after several performers performed. I more than likely won't come back until post Covid.

Never a dull moment at this night club. Music, Drinks and Drag Queens! What fun! Supporting folk from all walks of life we get to enjoy a small taste of fun. The venue is small but the stage is fun to dance on of course and people young and old come to boogie. I enjoy the people who frequent. We all dance together! Some cool events take place here! I already been to 3 drag shows here and I am waiting for more! The staff is great too! Axis! Keep it up! 5 stars!

Had a blast with my best friend for her bday. It was my first time ever going to a show. Well boo boo let me tell you it was phenomenal. Every act was different and had their own style of Elegance, Fire, Fun, and down right entertaining. Can't wait to go again. To all who performed great job.

I love me some drag queens & this is THE place to get my fix, both on a local (love me some Nina West!) & international level. The venue is on the small side, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing as there isn't a bad spot to be found & that makes the performers very accessible. Pro-tip: Treat yo'self & take advantage of their meet & greets with the queens!

We went for the 80's night! Music was awesome, drinks were strong (the pac man is delicious) and the queens were fantastic!!

The show on Friday night was amazing. It included multiple queens who were so talented and engaging! The drinks are very strong though so be warned!

Dancing!

Axis is an unpleasant place with rude bartenders who have terrible attitudes. The overall atmosphere at Axis is truly awful.

Not what it once was. Used to be a great dance bar. Though the lighting and DJing is really good, but now really filthy.
