    Bartenders were very efficient and courteous. And also very attractive. Drinks were very good.

    Was here last night, had a good time. Came to do my meet n greet with my new adventure. Had two…read morebeers sense I don't allow myself to go to wild on the first night. Couple if locals were inside. Bar tender we had was a charming playful gentleman. Sense i came more for my company than the place, i chose to focus my whole being on them so I didn't take pictures. I will definitely be back to give it an honest full package review. They got karaoke, a pool table n a nice outdoor patio with privacy walls. I didn't go back out sense it really takes half of beer to get me drunk. I wasn't gonna flop like waffle into the floor. I think 2 hours in we saw more gentlemen come in and madams also. It is a nice chill spot. No drama, just a bunch of folks getting wrecked on the $15 drink all night special n singing karaoke. I never done karaoke but i promise i will next time. Ima bring my cat-girl super power out! How was the date? Definitely moving forward with the conquest! We after party n i got home around 3am lol so i had a blast. I will come back during pride to, want to see how Lakeland celebrates it. Do I recommend this place? Hell yeah! Lot of good looking dudes, fun staff, karaoke n pool tables. What else do u need? Take a drink n mingle my lovely's, have a blessed day n may the shenanigans goddess bless your miss adventures!! Xoxoxo

    I've never been to Lakeland, FL. My friend and I found this gay club on Yelp and we thought to give…read moreit a try. First and foremost I'm 60 years old. I've been to many gay establishments from Portland ME to San Francisco, CA. Upon arrival at 11:00pm the building looked dilapidated. The parking lot was dirt and the arrival experience gave an impression of being an unsafe area. The doormen we're welcoming and cordial. The bar tender was very nice too. Our Drag Show experience was constantly interrupted by a belligerent extremely intoxicated female patron as you can see below in the screen shot. She should have been escorted from the club and kicked to the curb. She was interrupting the show and harassing patrons to the point that we left 15 minutes after the show started. I understand it's a small club. It is what it is and serves the gay community in Lakeland, FL. Would I return? Possibly. Only if you put a muzzle on the belligerent drunk with the trucker mouth.

    Not my vibes, but it could be yours…read more I'm trying to find some place to dance, that isn't filled with young people or start dancing too late. I was really hopeful that this would be the place, but it's not. We were here from about 8 PM to 9:45 PM on a Saturday. The back patio was very busy with live music that was quite good. So if I was looking for a relaxing place to listen to live music, then this would be it. They have a food truck, they do allow smoking in the back patio, which is not my favorite, but it didn't seem like many people are doing it so I think you can avoid it if you want to. I was really hoping that there would be more dancing inside, we kept going back into check if there was anyone dancing. For the longest time there wasn't actually even anyone inside except for a few people at the bar. At around 9:40 PM, there were a couple women that started dancing, the problem was I didn't like any of the music that the DJ was playing. I didn't recognize it at all. I don't think it was new music, but it was older music that I didn't recognize. We ended up making a pivot and driving to Nash Keys, which is 10 minutes away and they have dueling pianos on Saturdays. I was disappointed that I didn't know the music, because even if there was only a few people dancing I still would've danced, but being that I wasn't a fan of the music there really wasn't any point to do it. So maybe if we had stayed later there would be more dancing, but a combination of no dancing plus not knowing the music we did not want to stick around. Again, the back patio with live music was quite nice, different vibes so it depends what you want. I probably won't come back unless it's well after 10 PM.

    This was the exact move for our night out on a bachelorette party. They had live music and the…read moreartists were fun and interacted with the crowd. They played Allstar by smash mouth for our bride to be! The sprite in the dirty Shirley tasted like just soda water, however that is a minor issue. The outdoor area with music and food trucks was very fun. The dance floor wasn't very full but that was probably time of day. We appreciated that they followed the rules and adhered to the towns quiet hours! All in all exactly what we needed to not have to drive into Tampa and have a quieter closer to home club experience in Dunedin.
