[paraphrased] A few house parties and some hard work later, Hella Gay Dance Party had its first appearance in a public venue. And it was AWESOME. Tons of sexy queers and some wonderful straight folk, good music, and lots of fantastic dancing and engrossing conversations were to be had.

Loved that there were lots of seating-bar seating, high tops, and cushioned booths in the back. Good music (D'Angelo, Fugees, Tupac...) which was at a perfect volume, so nobody was yelling! The string lights made for a warm, very comfortable vibe. Our martinis were perfectly chilled and delicious. There's a self serve water dispenser next to the bar, which is always nice. No food, so don't come hungry. They have a cute DJ booth, and looks like they have occasional DJ sets that are posted on their IG-Might be fun to check out! Really glad that we stopped by this place, and will definitely be back. Great way to close off a 3 day weekend!

I am certain that the shows are astounding, however... Coming here when there's nothing going on gives us all of the attention. :-) Bookie brunch!! We had the frittata sandwich and the truffle Benedict .. the flavors in both of these are indescribable. You simply must experience them both. This was so good that we begged to meet Alessandro, their chef from Italy! A particularly beautiful man, who is ridiculously talented. Every bite was a celebration. But wait, there's more! Lupe!! she greeted us, she was our bartender, our server, and all around just an amazing individual who was running the show. Not to mention, Mixology. Glover margarita, lavender lemon drop, and the mandarin. All three certainly recommendable. Ambiance - a party!! Come with the expectation of a good time.
