Edan Nelson

Quaint and cute queer space. Wonderful atmosphere, stellar bartenders and super laid-back. Highly recommend for those travelling to get a taste of the Calgary gay scene. ❤️

Major love this place. A place where nobody cares if you drink to get drunk or drink to get... a must to visit if your from out of town. #puregay

I'm a visitor from New Zealand, and really enjoyed this bar with my Calgary friends. Beer was cheap, the patio on a warm night lovely, and the seductions from patrons titillating. Keep up the good work.

Bryan Birn

Always the best staff. It's a dive-y type bar that is super social, and has lots of theme nights (like karaoke). It's great to have a solo drink at, or bring a whole group to. Super enjoyable laid back place, with lots of politically incorrect and questionable media on the TVs.

Nicholas Quintillan

A great place with great atmosphere. Always a fun time to have a few drinks and relax, especially summer nights. Absolutely recommended.

Stephen Tallent

I absolutely love this place. Never have I met so many amazing people, the staff and the patrons are all amazing. I recommend the karaoke nights on Thursdays. You're likely to see me there

Francisco Artavia

This place is really cool. Really friendly and very nice service. Ryan, the bartender downstairs is cool, cute, and very nice. The bartender upstairs, Patrick I think is very cute and also very nice. This is very much a place to come have a beer by yourself or with friends. Small and cool bar.

It is what it is.

Geoff Jordan

Fantastic bar staff, very small but great atmosphere

Logan Stothers

LOVE this bar! If you want a fun place to drink and have a good time, this is the place. Cute little patio and has both an upper and lower level inside with Karaoke some nights. Jordan, the good looking bartender, is a hell of a good time. You seriously can't help but have a good time when he is working. Great place to go as a pre-drink, an after party, or stay all night :) highly recommend

Honestly, compared to my first visit back in 2018. This place had a really good mood now and feel to it and I loved it. Prices are a bit $$ but the bartenders are cute and it's a really fun place to be with some friends.

Danijel Solaja

Good staff and good people

Christoff Smyth

I love this place. It’s kind of always the same, which is exactly what I like about it.

Mike Newby

Very small, was kink night which was weird if you're not into that, but people are much more friendlier here

Michael Maher

Great, friendly staff.

Justin Spina

Bartenders are rude and lame they claimed they had just poured this drink and it was on the house however it was just some abandoned roofied beverage. Dont go here unless you want to have no memory.

CAP 20

Used to be my fave gay bar lost its edge,

Brooke Crowdis

As a young strait women, I have never felt less welcome at an establishment. I came in with 5 friends who wanted to drink and sing karaoke, everyone was respectful of the other performers and of the bar itself. A female server came around and asked if we’d like drinks, we were all fine for the time being. Soon afterwords the female host told us the night was over and karaoke was finished So we left. To our surprise, it kept going for another 2.5 hours, when we tried to re enter we were rudely and abruptly turned away. I will never bring my business here again. Very disappointing that in a place which is supposed to be accepting to everyone, we were treated so poorly.

Great place for drinks and meeting nice people. The environment is chilled and always warm and welcoming. The bartenders are quite superb - especially Patrick! ☺

G cee

Ryan is a gem ????

Calv Thomas

Can't remember the last time I had a good night out here. New girl is also quite rude. Enjoyed the bar when I first moved here now I'm skeptical.

ARBantan

fun place. great outdoor space.

talisen coburn

Great place to go! Drinks are cheap and the guys are easy as one two three imma take that cutie home with me.

Rand Unland

Great place to meet up with friends after work and on weekends. It's a piano bar~ minus the piano ~with music low enough that you can hear what others are saying without them having to yell. Staff are some of the best in Calgary. I've been going there for more than a decade now and it's still my favourite gay bar here in Calgary.

Louis Pritchard

Group of friends met up there... nice spot.

Alf 1986

Scott Weisgarber
