Had a blast here at Splash! We came with a group of girls for the homegirls birthday. Heard it was drag night on a Thursday! I think we came too early or idk cus there was barely anybody in there or on the dance floor. We got some drinks and the bartenders is friendly. Even the staff.. they helped take our picture where the backdrop was. There's a good amount of seating. The layout is nice. Just seats around the dance floor and bar next to the dance floor. The bathrooms is down the hall when u enter.. we didn't get to see the drag show cus we left too early and went to another spot but I did get to see one and she is HER. I love drag!! She smiled and waved hi to me :) Dj was awesome. My friend knew the dj so she had them give a shoutout to the hg on the screen. That was cool! Did get to dance a little on the dance floor. The music played was koo. We enjoyed the night! read more

Always fun here on drag nights, it was a Thursday so we had a few drinks, threw in a few dance steps and had some fries from Alberto's in the back. Ambiance is always chill af but maybe too chill on a weekday. The weekends always pops off way better. Service is always good and quick. We had to bar hop for the 3rd time that night lol read more

Splash Fresno - Jay the bar back - Gay Bars Near Me - Fresno, California

Last night I visited Splash to meet a friend. When she saw me she ran over and jumped into my arms and (weak old me) couldn't hold her up so we fell onto the dance floor. Security asked us to leave (which was no problem, 100% understood). This review is just to say the two security guys there were incredibly respectful, nice, and made it seem like they didn't want to throw us out but y'know, they just had to. They never raised their voices or seemed threatening at all. It's exactly how you want to be treated by staff at any club or venue. I'm certain if my friend and I escalated, they would have in kind, but that didn't happen. Even better, those same two gentlemen had just ejected a few other people one by one, so you'd think they might be tired of that and frustrated, but they treated this as if it were their first encounter of the evening. Incredibly impressed and pleased with the staff at Splash. I'm sure they deal with a crap-ton of issues on any given weekend, but they set a standard and stuck with it. Appreciated. Very much appreciated. read more

I went here with a girlfriend and we were trying to find a seat in the house, it seemed no one wanted to allow to sit with them at first then some drag queens introduced themselves and invited us to sit with them, they were so nice and hugged us both to make us feel comfortable and welcome. We danced with them all night and had a blast. Nice club and LGBTQ friendly yay! read more

I love this bar but I don't know how they can stay open with all the people getting drugged. Tbh if fab went under already splash is going to follow suit. Again I love this bar and it's one of my all time favorites but I am just being practical read more

Great place in tower. Starting to get overpopulated but I've never had a bad experience. Bartenders are great. Drinks priced well. Great music. Clean for a club. Patio seating is great also. Definitely should try if in tower. read more

You would think with a $20 cover fee you would at least get a decent place to use the restroom... Drinks were just not it either, Definitely won't be returning if it's up to me, not worth the line that somehow accumulates for this bar I'm giving 2 stars because at least they had fun music for the 20 minutes I spent here read more

Splash Fresno - Restroom - Gay Bars Near Me - Fresno, California

I came on a random Tuesday and the place was packed. It felt like a Friday, honestly! Although the bar is a nice place it is an interesting gay bar... The DJ played nothing but EDM although It's cool, it may get annoying. People didn't really dance the first 2 hours I was there because the DJ didn't play anything else. I was hoping we would take the clue when no one would dance but he didn't. One of the other interesting things was the bathrooms, the stalls were open throughout the entire night. A few girlfriends of mine joined me for a game of pool and the male bathroom was open for everyone to see. Couldn't really enjoy the fame with the constant bathroom conversations and the smell of urine coning out. I did have a few drinks (courtesy of my bf) which were pretty strong. A few people may be thrown off but I enjoyed them! Just be careful "The gays! They are trying to kill me." read more

Splash Fresno - Pool (next to the open-door male bathroom) - Gay Bars Near Me - Fresno, California

Came to karaoke people kept getting to go back to back i added a song at 9pm and didnt get called till midnight

Not very gay friendly despite claiming to be a gay bar. Lines take long for an empty space and security is prejudicial. Cover can be high. It was $15 each on a Saturday night for a semi empty club. Music in two different rooms played over each other. read more

Very Rude bartenders, they're very arrogant, rude; and short tempered. Like chill you're mixing drinks at a gay club not curing cancer. The customer service was very poor. Especially the tall trans woman (the super tall one, she's like 7ft) she's super rude. read more

Experienced Splash on a Thursday. It was a random meetup with friends. Those are the best times you'll have- when it's unplanned! It's nice layout with 2 bars inside and decent sized patio. The dance floor is definitely on the small side. The bartenders are super nice- drinks are balanced and well made. Really good drink specials and happy hour is offered during the week. To my surprise, there was a pool table room and it's only $1 per game. Very cheap! Every Thursday is 90's and 2000's theme. I grew up with all that music so I was humming and dancing to all the songs. Then there was a random drag show around 10pm. It was quite entertaining. I would love to come back but please note Splash has a ton of hype right now coupled with long lines to get in. I would suggest coming early to snag a table. read more

If I could give it 0 stars, I would! This splash Fresno is the worst..the MUSIC SUCKS! They need new DJs... we are grown adults why are we listening to high school musical, and Disney songs in a club/bar?! Why aren't they playing today's hip hop music? Or 90s? Etc. you can't even request or ask them to change it up because they say "we aren't allowed to play that"! WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE MUSIC ?! Again, we are grown adults drinking alcohol in a bar with a $15-$20 cover and all we get is baby shark? High school musical!? Hannah Montana?! What happened to juvenile? Sexxy red? Kendrick Lamar? Kylie Minogue? Where are the hits?! Where is the good music?! What are we...8 years old?! Splash San Jose gets to play all the good music but Fresno gets radio version kids bop ?!? Trash ! read more

On Sep 12 Wednesday i visited this bar. Because i like the bar and have been going there for more than 3 years almost twice every other week. I was enjoying there and suddenly a girl just point her finger toward people where I was standing and then suddenly there was a security guard came. He didn't investigate and didn't ask anything and didn't even confirmed from that lady. He just came and dragged me out of the club. Accused me for harassment without any investigation or a proof. I really felt he just racially profiled me because I was the only brown guy in that group of people where that lady pointed. I tried to ask him the reason but he just didn't mentioned anything.i even tried to get him at least ask that lady and confirm it but he just refused. I really felt insulted because they ported me a harassing guy. I've been going to that club for almost 3 years and never once did anything like that. Never fought, never got too drunk, and never had any problem like that. That security guard has some personal problem with be from before because we had an argument once where I've told him there are some staff members including him treat people differently by their looks. My people before told me they have felt discrimination and racism there. There are lots of reviews and comments regarding same issue. I tried to make a video but 3 more security guard came and started using laser light on the camera so I can't have them on the video. And there was a security guard who threatened to punch me after he was walking when got off from the job. I'm uploading pictures of the security guards. And one white guy who threatened me on the road after he got off from the job. I want an answer for the insult and discrimination I've faced at front of many people. Some of the people I know personally and have business relations with them. The way they make me look like a guy who harass girls damages my reputation as well as reputation of my family business. God knows what the people there who saw that are going to say to other people I know or about my family business. That's why I want the investigation and a complete answer why they immediately assumed it was me whom that lady was accusing of harassment. And why they didn't investigate weather the lady was saying truth OR tried to know who the actual person was whom that lady was pointing if the accusations were right. Or I would like a complete apology and actions against all the security guards who were involved in discrimination against me read more

I'm rewriting my review because I visited again for an afternoon event (7/24), and the place was a TOTALLY DIFFERENT experience! Like last time, the bartender was really lovely. However, this time -- * It was clean (the bar and the bathroom) * I saw ZERO people obviously snorting drugs * I saw no falling-down-drunk women (or men) * No women in the men's bathroom * I was able to easily chat to folks because the music was an appropriate level * There were more obvious LGBTQ+ people there than straight people I actually had a really nice time and would be happy to go back for another afternoon event any time! My first visit was a disaster and left me really dubious about going a second time, but I am glad I did. Unfortunately, I cannot forget my first visit all together, so, I'll stick to visiting this bar only when invited by specific social events I want to attend. I'm pleased to have had a really different experience!! read more

Great staff. Cool ppl. Lots of fun events that go on the dance floor. I love the lights. Shout out to "Vee" the door person who helped keep a creepy guy away from us. Over all great ladies night!!!! read more

Great place to make friends and meet people. I have not had a bad experience yet. The prices of the drinks seem to be random depending on bartender. read more

The club itself was fun and the music was upbeat. My only issue was how rude the manager was to the people in the line who were at the zombie crawl last night. read more

I was waiting for my boyfriend outside of the restrooms and the security guard started man handling me out of the club. I asked why I was being escorted out and was not answered. I called my boyfriend and he met me outside the club and they refused to let me in. I explained to the bouncer I was confused why I was escorted out and did not get any answer. I felt very disappointed with the situation especially considering that I had a single drink and no explanation as to why I was being pushed out of the club. It was especially disappointing because Splash is meant to be a queer safe space and it did not feel that way. read more

Me and my friends were told to leave because one of my friends was "drunk" even though we were all jumping up and down dancing. Apparently having your arms around someone while dancing makes them too drunk read more

Had an amazing time! great bar, very live! the girl behind the bar really stood out! so legendary! the inside bar team was a lot more hospitable than the outside. Outside was lively due to the smokers on property but the bar team was less than par. overall would return! read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. Since the venue was taken over as Splash, I have never felt comfortable. It has never felt like a safe space to be in. It appears to have more predatory drunken straight clientele and the club caters to them. The only reason I continued to attend was because of the goth night they had once a month. Those nights brought the queer and goth community together. People you would not see on a regular night because these once a month events provided something special. If you weren't aware, the goth and queer community pretty much go hand in hand. Goth nights have been happening in queer spaces from the get go. Disappointingly, the February goth night that had been scheduled and planned for in advance, was canceled. Just hours before it was supposed to occur. A scheduled dj who drove from Los Angeles, received the news AFTER he arrived in town. Performers had to be notified. Other patrons were coming in from out of town. The sheer lack of professionalism and disrepect shown to those involved in the planning, promoting, the djs and the patrons speaks VOLUMES! Canceled because they thought they could make more money having a basic regular night playing the same tired music. While I'm at it, security as well have sus vibes about them and carry themselves with a holier than thou attitude. While walking into the women's restroom with a friend who needed to go, male security followed us all the way into the restroom without announcing himself to alert the ones who were in the stalls. Told me I had to wait outside because people do drugs in there. Huh? Ok...Other security staff would stare to attempt to intimidate patrons on the patio having a conversation as well as those inside watching people on the dance floor. I've been attending queer clubs for 29 years and have always felt comfortable and safe in those spaces...until Splash. It's really sad to see they don't support the community that supported them. Even more sad that the Fresno queer and goth community do not matter to this establishment. Especially in a time where the queer community desperately need safe spaces. read more

This place used to be so fun. Used 2 be different community centered events going on. Now it's always the same tired music, a ton of straight people, and all the employees seem like they hate their job. Play different music and bring the gay culture. Don't just take straight money. read more

The service is excellent. We had the best time ever. The dance floor was so much fun. Great music and the dancers are friendly and sexy. Bartenders are quick and make everyone feel welcome. Security is watching so it feels so safe to enjoy the great atmosphere. read more

Went for my sister and I's after bday celebration. Was in line at the beginning with my friend (30yo mexican man) and they tell him he can't wear his giants hat. I point to a white guy at the bar with a sports hat on and they don't care. My friend is used to this and is nice and says he can put it on our bus. We are tired and just sit at the booth by the door the entire night and hang out. The whole time a bouncer is posted close to use and watches our table. I buy my younger sister and her friend's drinks and my friend, I and two older people in our group just hang by the booth at the door. We probably have 2/3 drinks over 2 hours. Last call comes and everyone is heading home finishing drinks. My friend gets up to takes our empty glasses to the bar and the bouncer tells him he has to leave because he's drunk. I look around at the passed out girls leaning over the bar and laying in the booths. I tell the bouncer we're waiting for our bus to get back and ask why he's not kicking out anyone else? He says he's sorry and that someone else who works there wants my friend out. Was the most obvious racial thing ever. I've had friends who work there over the years and have told me owners and some Staff do this kind of thing all the time. Honestly not surprised coming to my home town and seeing this but I didn't expect it at a gay bar. read more

Drinks are strong, worth the coin. The dance floor is a little small but it accommodated the small crowd just fine. My date and I hit the patio and enjoyed our time. Same music inside and out, will be back. They also have events so I'll be back to check that out. read more

The staff there seem to be on a high horse. I understand you deal with crap every night there, but no need to take it on the patrons. Not All the bartenders are rude but that tall one with long hair is rude as hell. Definitely for a younger crowd out. Don't get me started about the predator owner. TJ read more

It's a gay club, it's exactly what I expect. Drunk gays dancing, LOL I only come out like once every year or two cus I'm old with a family now, but on occasion this place is a good outlet to let loose. read more

So excited to hear one of the best bartenders was just hired on!! Gibbythicc makes the best drinks in Fresno thank you!!!!!

Hi Splash Leaving this review for the security guard you had working tonight 4/14. Be sure to hire people who have patients and can handle kicking someone out with grace. There was no need for your security guard to throw someone's hat in the trash rather than handing it back. The security guard also escalated a situation over a water bottle. Hopefully you can sit down with the employee so he realize he should be treating people better. read more

This place is super cool!! I had so much fun with my friends and the way the club's building is laid out is perfect! When you come in, you will see a bar right away. To your right they have the patio. The patio has another bar outside along with several tables and TVs. Back inside, going towards the back, you will find the dance floor! This dance floor gave me 70's meets the 2000's vibes. There's TVs showing music videos as well, tables to sit, and another bar!!!! Next to that bar, if you make a left, you will find a billar/pool table! Chairs and a big mirror perfect for selfies. This place has fun spots all around! And the cover is only $10. Drinks are average price too, ranging from $15-$20 dollars. I look forward to Splash asking for vaccination proof!!! Starting August 6th. Kudos to keeping Fresno safe. read more

I must say I thought this place was going to be like Babylon from Queer as Folk since the font of the bar's name and colors were the same as the show. But I was wrong this is no L.A. or any other big city club. The whole staff was rude as fuck and I was lucky there was one nice bar tender. Only had 2 drinks and was ready to go. The whole place had a really bad stench: bad breath, body odor, piss, farts and menses. I was afraid I was going to get a staph infection. read more

If I could I would give zero stars. The bartender Jhonnie was so rude and made me feel uncomfortable because of his inappropriate comments. Bartending was lacking due to him harassing other patrons and not paying attention to customers. read more

This is one of my favorite gay bars in Fresno. I love that they have 3 different areas with completely different ambiances. The outside patio crew is more to my liking since I like having a drink and talking to others, buuuut if you're more of a dancer, my gawd you'll love the dance floor! The bartender pour good drinks, too. You'll get your bang for your buck. Also, if you want to be near the music but enjoy a little game, they have a pool table and a bunch of board games! I love the board game and video game nights along with their fun drag shows. Such a great time here! read more
