Reviews of PiNK Bar and Lounge (Night Club)

Dan Jones

Friendly and welcoming staff when we stumbled across this place for a nightcap. Everyone seems to be welcome here.

Graeme Bull

Quite the place. Fun atmosphere.

Ifeanyi Chiedo

Good for groups

Tatiana Tat

Gender neutral bathroom was a bad idea. Gross! That's why I won't go again.

Peb Elz

they called the cops on me lol

Katrina Musqua

Only go to pink if you want to have the most magical night of your life ✨✨ although they don’t play too much new music, take that how you will lol Joe if your reading this the people want doja cat and ilysm

Dalvinder Singh

Very good experience going there with friends Very famous and popular place in youth.

Alice Charles

So much fun

Ashlie Estabrooks

Staff are always excellent and there are always bouncers to watch exits and bathrooms, which I very much appreciate. Love the happy atmosphere and everyone in attendance.

Chad Stephens

Not a gay bar, cheap drink specials are nice, cover and smelling of cigarette smoke when you leave is not so nice ????

I Team Kill Newbs

Not a bad spot!!

Joel Slemm

Very rude and rowdy crowd, not the safest bar for LGBT2Q patrons to dance unbothered by ignorant drunks.

Ashley Kirk

Love to dance here!!!

Tori Paige

Always a Great Time at PINK! Music is always loud, and DJ takes requests. Whenever someone fights or is too drunk the Bouncers are on it. Very Safe Bar. Keep on with Amazing Nights Pink! Highly Recommend Checking it Out if you haven't already.

K Hallywood

Always busy. Great place to dance. Always one step ahead of the rest.

Brett Hagardt

Not a gay bar. They call it a gay bar so very young, straight people can be riské and tell their friends they went to a gay bar.

aniket verma

This place is good

Stephnie Watson

Great place for a chill break! Amazing Covid-19 awareness and practices in place.

Shawn S

One of the only club like venues in Saskatoon. Trendy crowd.

Kyla Anderson

Prices on drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but that's to be expected at every bar, huge dance floor with a pole that only so few people can share/dance together on. (lol) $5 entry fee, coat check and gender neutral bathrooms. Interesting experience, I will go again in the future.

Carman Christopher

Dirty, only accepts cash. Lots of girls

Benson Baby

Fantastic music for dance

G Warren

You'll have a gay time!!

Joel

Always a great time great staff

Clay Raynard

Took a while to get drinks. It was busy, but not that busy.

Tammy Popova

It is ok night club. Like the pink theme and music. Wish the size of the lounge to be a bit bigger

Russell B

Fun and safe bar. Went there with some friends, staff was friendly and the drinks were a decent price. Wide variety of drinks available. Outdoor patio with a open air smoking area. Crowd was varied in age and everyone was having fun. There are VLTs as well. Would recommend to people going for a fun relaxed club experience. DJ was decent. Cover charge was $5.

TheSunknNorwegian

Was a fun place with great energy and surprisingly not loud enough to defen you.

John Tough

Too loud

Kitty Murphy

Not a big fan of unisex bathrooms.

Patricia F

This was the place where I realized that I hadn't gone to a club in over 15 years because I grew out of it. Damn kids these days ????????????????

SWEATPANTS MAFIA

Greasyyyyyy

Pink is supposed to be cool, this place isn’t.

Skye Leigh

Enjoyed it

The Wandering Triathlete (Dustin Baerg)

Very crowded, always seems Smokey. Keep hearing negative things about owner and bouncers. Stairs are a death trap waiting for some drunk to fall down.

Geno Lucio

A most up-to-date lounge and dance place far exceeding expectations of similar trendy places. A melting pot of younger and older patrons-turning none away for being old and knowledgeable. Rumour has it that others try to undermine a successful enterprise with little success.

Svetlana Kurakina

Boring

Roy L

It's kinda cool for overall clubbing experience but just okay for queer experience. It feels more like other straight club but queer friendly and not the other way round. Always very crowded by more rowdy youngsters/college peeps. But overall in terms of party events and set ups, it's pretty trendy.

ALAN KHRAMOVSKI

good choice of drinks

Brndo

I mean im not gay but hey...$5 is still $5

Melissa Chickowski

Definitely a fun and wild place on Saturdays and Sundays. You have to be able to tolerate crowded areas. There's a ton of stairs which is a little scary for such a large amount of drunk people running around. Unfortunately a small amount of bathrooms for how busy the place gets. Only three stalls in a building full of tons of drunk people.

Stacey Nagiff

Had a lot of fun here, but it seems the only people dancing were straight? Also the bathrooms are shared, so as long as you don't have a problem with that... very fun place to go!

Chris P.

Came up from Toronto for a few days. Visited this place last night and gotta say it was a good time. $5 entry is great, music was a great mix, drinks not too pricey at all. The whole place was a vibe. I recommend going here for a good night out. Shout out to the coat check girls for providing the best service of the night! Thank you

SgtSquishy Athena

Had a really bad experience the last time I was there. Likely won't return because of it. Drink staff was also very rude. Good music at least?

Danté Boege

Security is ok but could be better they seem to hassle patrons that have occupied the club and have only stepped out for air or a smoke. Inside the club staff are amazing, respectful, have a huge space & use it quite well. All I wish they had unless I didn't see them is gender neutral bathrooms for us transgender/ non binary folks as some aren't comfortable /ready for going into the ladies or the mens or don't want to pick a bathroom. But security definitely needs to be trained properly on customer service and how to handle situations no matter how silly, crazy, adrenaline pumping, or dangerous. Every situation doesn't need to be treated the same as what a fight or found with drugs on someone would be. They need to learn that & compassion. Some people are funny drunks who just want to make you laugh so laugh with them and they'll be on their way others are talkers talk to them for a bit and they leave once they get it out.

JOKER

I recommend it!

Lenore CH

I had a lot of fun here! Came on a Saturday night, good dancing vibes. Diverse crowd and good music.

Alistair George

AYY LMAO IT'S LIT HERE

Sandra Haley

Haunted House is awesome! Check it out ????????

Sheritta Kahpeaysewat

Its always fun and the security are awsome they take care of things well drinks are on time music always is great.

Krystal (KrystalRosex0x)

Had more unpleasant experiences than fun here. I think it’s a really popular club because of the 2 floors, but overall it’s generally very crowded & wait times to go outside, get a drink, & go to the bathroom can be ridiculous. They let the place get waaay over capacity as they’re clearly in it for the money, & it’s not fun constantly waiting with no room to dance nor really walk with too many people. The unisex bathrooms are fine, but are way too small for the number of people trying to use them at the same time it seems. I feel bad for the gay community as this was a place for them to be comfortable to hangout in, but it’s pretty mainstream for everyone now & I hear less & less friends going here as they’ve had bad experiences being gay, in this “gay bar”. I definitely miss 302, the vibe was so much better & they always had the coolest parties!

Nat Nikole

Still lighting it up and decorating despite being closed. Love this place, great entertainment, music and atmosphere!

Kamlesh Chaudhari

It wasn't bad experience when you don't have many places to go. My friends and I went to go there to check the club out. Nice but congested

Dan Shier

Nice new venue. Need to visit again on a more regular night to get a better idea of what it's like. Love the patio and the furniture.

Daniel Angulo

Great foam party

Christine Boucher

Way too much fun! Love the view from up top.

RyanXon

Easily the best bar in Saskatoon! Cheap drinks, great music and an amazing layout means you need to get there early or else face the never ending line at the door!

Kylee Wagner

Great place for LGBTQ and straight alike

Candice Lord

Great workers, awesome music and really enjoy the dance area

Samuel Travis

Only came because it was a friend's birthday. Went on a Sunday night of a long weekend where Monday was Stat holiday but for some reason the place was almost deserted. Twice people offered to sell me coke which is the only reason this place even gets two stars.

Dawson Meyers

Great place for dancing and getting to know new people!

Calvin Gordon

Friendly people, fun atmosphere

Im Paradox

Scummy

Jeremy Joel

It is great place to be. The music isn't loud, just enough to hear someone flirt to you. Drinks are cheap. Two stories, and spacious for the crowd. VLTs are there to test your luck. Lots of fun!

Lucille McInnes

Great place for dancing but the Sunday songs being played were not really dancable. The downside of people able to pay a machine to play their favorite songs. Be on your toes for drink spiking. I refuse to drink there anymore. The problems start with the owner and stuff like that trickles down :(

Leanne Ooms

So much fun. This place is awesome

Good music, awesome entertainment, good drinks and great service.

wayne solway

This is NOT a gay bar..staff are straight and people who go there are 95% straight. They have discovered it's cheaper drinks so they regularly attend more than gay people. Straight people openly make out where the bouncers should control as we being gay would never be allowed in their establishments. I think the management are just out for the money instead of the gay community. Security are amazing but aren't directed or shown how to control the straight activities.

Philippa Williams

Not a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals. The app just doesn't let you give 0 stars. Thanks. Bye.

Corbit Giberson

Nice spot, music could be better...

Tristan Sharp

Great space, great people, great music, terrible staff. I was asked to leave because i was “leaning against the bar” when i explained that i wasn’t very drunk and i didn’t understand why they were kicking me out, bouncers screamed in my face that they didn’t have all night, tossed me into -35 degree weather in a shirt, for a reason i still can’t understand. Been to a lot of nightclubs and this was very ridiculous.

M-A K

I rate Pink 1 star. Congratulations! You're not a gay bar anymore, you are just one more hetero humping bar with mediocre music! And don't tell me you don't have ALL of Lady Gaga's albums available to play! Otherwise you should not be allowed to call yourself a gay bar! Also: please standardize your prices for your drinks!! Don't just let the bartenders decide how much they feel like charging! BE CAREFUL about which bartender you go to: I was told 3 different, all INCREASING prices as the night went on for a vodka with pineapple juice, and the last bartender wanted to charge me PREMIUM price for the pineapple juice! SUCH UTTER CRAP!! They CAN AFFORD the f-ing pineapple juice, they're a bar, so STOP BEING CHEAP.

C. B.

Bouncer is a dick, assaults and rape happen in the bathrooms, and the bar is more concerned with covering it up then potentially facing charges. Not a safe bar.

Erin Anderson

Wasn't sure about it before I went but it was a blast! Pole to dance on and free popcorn when we were there.

Angela Hunter

I have never felt more out of place or uncomfortable anywhere. The security was very rude and handsy.

Derrik Olson

Fun atmosphere

Sheridan Johnstone

Such an amazing friendly space. It has so many good vibes !! Best place to enjoy music and dancing in the city.

Pavan Dari

One of the best gay/straight nightclub

Jasmine Allard

Lots of fun but expensive

Weird Mystery

This place is the best!! I go here all the time and and the staff are amazing especially Levi!!!

Derrick Adams

Nice space and event list during my time there. While not in the busiest part of town, it’s not far from everything either.

rayan k

When the bouncer pushes everyone out of his way for no reason, so u go talk to the manager Steven and he tells you that he would do the same thing, also Steven did not look like he was sober.. staff has absolutely no respect. Horrible experience. This happened on Saturday night.

Ryan Richard

Fun time..will return.

melissa avre

Best DJ in Saskatchewan!!!!!!

Sharon K

It's really nicely decorated and the new brighter lighting and larger ceiling is awesome; I do wish the dance floor had been made a bit larger! It seems like it's smaller than it was when they were at 302. I think the gender neutral washrooms are a neat concept, but I wish they'd put a stall sort of deal around the urinal sections in them. The crowd is, unfortunately, much the same as it was at 302. Might be tons of fun if you're a gay guy; if you're a lesbian, be prepared to do the jagged elbow/death glare dance to get straight guys to stop grinding on you. Also when I was there the girls who were doing neat pole tricks got groped (by guys, obvs, and sometimes while in difficult hold positions where they could have fallen and gotten injured if they'd recoiled), but everyone steped back and clapped and didn't get right in the way when a guy did tricks. It was pretty messed up. I'd probably only go again if I suddenly became male.

Alyssa K

Wouldn’t go again after reading about the trial.

Crystal Parisien

New management doesnt know how to manage staff. Went in befote cover charge was in place, ( before 10pm) went to leave for food. Went upstairs to get a stamp becore leaving so we could get back in. He refused , was told to talk to management, ( levi we miss you). New management doesnt know how to manage will not be back . even bartender remember us ( regualars) been a while though.

Sandy Bigoraj

Good times were had there, music was awesome

Review Reviwe

The security guard been so mean and rude Because he get the power we've never went in and enjoyed the party it was on June 22 2019 The guard was bold and had a long beard Zero star

Nick Lefrancois

For some reason, people call this a gay bar. It's definitely not a gay bar. I've seen so many hostile acts of male aggression at this place that you would think that it's on the Jersey shore. The music is absolutely terrible (you're lucky to get three good songs in an entire night). And the staff!!! Incredibly rude and inconsiderate. I'm not basing my opinion on a single night; I've been there many times. It's honestly the worst bar I've ever been to. I wouldn't even recommend it to my enemies.

Beauty Lacehair

Awsum place ever

Jess Bynes

Had our jackets in coatcheck given away by the staff members at pink to another customer. Heres the full story if you care to read.. Went to pink on a saturday around 11, usually NEVER coat check but my friend insisted we do..so as we were talking to a friend by the upstairs entry door where we were waiting inline for coat check we walked up to the desk and were told that "the guys infront of us covered our jackets" we replied saying we were not with those guys and wernt sure who they were.. at this point my friend had already exchanged our jackets to them, we walked away still in confussion (later told by management there is no charge for coat check?).. we then headed down stairs to the tables. This is when my friend realized she could not recall receiving a coat check ticket or couldnt find one on her anywhere.. We paniced! Our other friend that was with us when we coat checked our jackets ran upstairs to try get our jackets back or to see if a ticket was left (hadnt bin more then 10 mins since we coat checked our jackets) they said no and refused her our jackets without a ticket number. In this time we went to talk to head security, voicing our concern for our jackets and that we had no ticket to retrieve them, he assured us our jackets would be fine and wouldn't go to coat check with us.. we weren't sure what else to do other then trust his word at this point but I DID NOT have a good feeling and told my friends this.. at the end of the night we were forced to wait until everyone had got their jackets.. there were maybe 7 or 8 jackets left hanging, but not one of them were ours.. we were reassured again by the same head security that he would check the cameras and get back to us by Wednesday.. that day passed, I contacted the manager at pink on friday she claimed she knew nothing about the situation ALTHOUGH she was there when we discovered our jackets were gone..she was told the situation too, she KNEW how upset we were..anyways she basically passed me off to the headof security (the one we dealt with that night) she sent him a text to contact me.. he didnt, I had to track down his number and call him personally.. he told me over the phone that he checked the cameras and knew who took our jackets, that they were regulars there every weekend. He told me that he would talk to them Friday/Saturday and get our jackets back he seemed confident in this. I texted him monday asking if he had got our jackets back, no reply I tried calling him twice throughout the week leaving messages, the weekend passed AGAIN and still nothing, finally was told by both manager and head security that I should do a police report and they can request the video tape because coat check is free and its our responsibility for our own jackets and tickets..so here I am having to replace my new $160 TNF jacket and my friend replacing hers..when we CLEARLY tried to avoid this whole situation from the very start..(We think it was the guys infront of us that ended up with our ticket) Regardless I won't be giving them anymore of my money! Really unfortunate and extremely unprofessional night club!!

Cierra Frank

Absolutely love this place. Staff is SO great and it's the most welcoming bar ever!

Denise C

Has most definitely gone down since new owners took over. Not really a gay bar more like gay friendly.

Jared Neil

It's fun and the staff are really nice. There are a large portion of straight people, less gay.

Ralston Kidd

Amanda Wehner

Hopping, great service and great music! Even a pool table!

Lucas Demers

Great crowd and everyone is loving and there to have a good time (For the most part it's a bar) but always have fun when I go.

Kieran Greening

This place used to be excellent, and now it’s a place with pushy security and meh interior. I imagine it looks scary with the lights on!

jmeghann

Checked out pink for the first time since it opened in Saskatoon, I used to frequent 302 and had hoped I would have a similar expeirence. This is hands down the worst gay bar I have ever been to, over all it was a very negative expeirence and I will not be returning. The patrons were rude, the drinks were over priced, and the bouncer literally shoved me when we were leaving the bar. Far from impressed.

Jamie Longclaws

Fun friendly atmosphere

Winnie Palyvos

FuN!!!

No Debit, Only 1 Pole, Ghetto.

So much fun! Welcoming to all people, staff are friendly, and the bouncers do a great job keeping things under control and safe. The street dance was a blast!

Lee Reagan

Fun place to go

Kara Bildfell

Very crowded. Not set up very nice. Hard to hang with a large group of friends except on the dance floor

Cole Fialkowski

Straight breeding ground.....
