    Dance floor
    Sera G.

    The best time downtown! Every time I want to dance I go here because the people are SO nice & everyone wants to dance! There's no shame in it & I LOVE IT. I moved here from Southern California, where in Los Angeles we have a whole strip of gay bars that I would always go to because they were always more fun than your basic bar. Also the drag shows are PHENOMENAL. Thank you Bolt, till next time!

    I had a very upsetting experience at Mother's Lounge during pub quiz night…read more I am autistic. I arrived late, did not have a team, and was standing alone in the corner trying to be unobtrusive. There was a small stage with a folding table where the quiz host was asking questions. Between questions, music would play while people wrote down answers, and I was singing along quietly. Staff told me to move away from the stage, and I did. Then they told me I was not allowed to sing along with the songs between questions and called it disruptive. The situation escalated from there. The context matters.This was a bar that does karaoke regularly, and there was already a loud song playing between quiz questions while people were writing down answers. I was singing along to music that was already in the room, not trying to interrupt the quiz or perform over anyone. I also stood as far away from the quiz participants as I could without going outside, and when I sang louder than softly, I turned toward the wall/corner because I was trying not to project into the room. Maybe the sound carried more than I realized, but my intention and my behavior were not careless or hostile. When I became visibly upset, they threatened to call the police if I did not leave immediately. I said I needed five minutes to gather myself and my belongings. They refused and told me I had to leave right then or they would call the cops. That is when I raised my voice. I understand venues have rules. But there is a big difference between enforcing rules and escalating an overwhelmed disabled customer who is trying to comply. This was humiliating and frightening, and I hope ownership takes disability awareness and de-escalation seriously.

I did have a…read morereally fun time I would like to come back, the atmosphere was so nice and most bartenders were very nice besides this one guy with tattoos and a short beard. I stopped by greenroom after festival and my friend and I are masc lesbians. I waited 15 min for this guy and he completely ignored us and wouldn't even look at us. I asked my other friend who is a straight pretty blonde girl to order for me and as soon as I took a step back behind her. He came up to her and took "my order". While still completely ignoring me and not even looking at me. I don't know what his deal was and I didn't think much about it until it continued to happen three days in a row. I am 23 years old, it is kind of odd that I had to ask my friends to order my beer for me because of him. I am a bartender myself, so I understand being "busy" but this dude would be standing there doing nothing and still ignoring me but as soon as a new customer came up next to me he went straight up to them within 5 seconds and took there order. One person was even nice enough to point to me and say she was here first and he looked at me then looked away and it was that moment when I realized he is intentionally doing this. I am from out of state and I have no idea who this man is. So I don't know why he pretended I didn't exist. My only thought is, since he ignored me and another masc lesbian but served our straight friends when we stepped behind them, he is discriminating. Which is a crazy word to say considering the pride flags hung everywhere. I would like to come back one day but after thinking about the situation all weekend and wondering why. My feelings are hurt.

    I came on a Friday night just to get out the house and first thing I noticed it that this place is…read morehuge! It's located behind Marley's sport's bar, which I love, just walk through Marley's all the way to the back. It then opens into this huge courtyard with lots of seating and games (connect four, bag toss) and TVs, I think just one tv. Continue walking and you're in the annex which is a smaller bar. There's a direct entrance to Legends, I think it's Polk Street. Both Marley's and the Polk Street entrances check ID. Brooke our bartender greeted us with such a warm sweet smile and gave us great conversation. Go see Brooke if you find yourself here! To say it's a beer and burger joint, the frozen margaritas aren't bad at all. The burgers are not too small and not ginormous but has a decent size patti and taste fresh, like a homemade burger. I ordered the original burger (onions & cheese) and other condiments (pickles, tomatoes, mayo, ketchup, mustard) come on the side. After our order arrived, another employee, I think one of the cooks, checked on us as well, that was courteous of him. My favorite thing about this spot is the large outdoor area, it's just a really nice chill vibe. Oh and there's a nice playlist, hip hop, rock, pop, something for everyone.

Very hard to get service as the music was too loud and the bar tender couldn't hear us. Finally placed an order and got our drinks then just sat. Waited and waited for our food, asked about it multiple times, were ignored. Finally saw our food sitting on a back counter but no one brought it to us. When I finally went to the counter and asked if we could get our food was told "It's not my job to serve food". I had to ask to be given the food and brought it to our table myself. By that time the food was over cooked, cold and the cheese on the hamburgers had hardened again due to the cold burgers. Not what I would have expected of Legends. Very disappointed.
