Great trendy venue. Staff are lovely and attentive. The chips were amazing. Super crispy and seasoned. Loved the drag shows! Drinks were fairly priced.

Just posting to sing the praises of one of the security staff called Michelle. My friend was quite unwell, and Michelle was both very professional and genuinely caring. She went above and beyond to make sure we were both okay. Thank you for being such a beautiful person Michelle!!

Very disappointing experience. This was my first time here, and it will definitely be my last. I arrived around 8:45 pm and bought a beer on the ground floor. The bartender was friendly and mentioned there would be a drag show in about 30 minutes, which sounded great. I was alone and seated around the bar with other people who were also sharing the space, just enjoying my drink and even considering ordering food. Shortly after, a security staff member told everyone they needed to clear the space and that the chairs would be removed. The way he spoke was rude and dismissive. I asked where I could go, and he replied “there’s space everywhere,” without offering any real guidance. I then asked for five minutes to finish my schooner and leave, but he refused and told me to move immediately and take my drink. I could barely finish my beer and ended up leaving instead of staying for the show or ordering food. For a well-known gay venue that promotes diversity and inclusivity, this experience felt completely the opposite. The lack of respect and basic customer care was very disappointing.

Pizza Bros is definitely a place worth coming back to 🍕✨ The Tom Yum Goong pizza was absolutely amazing! The flavor was rich and perfectly balanced — spicy, tangy, and super aromatic with authentic Thai tom yum flavors. The prawns were generous, and the best part was that it tasted so good without needing any extra seasoning at all 😍

Most delicious pizza, best cocktails, and amazing vibe; the atmosphere is full of happiness and joy! We have gone there many times, and it is constantly amazing! I love the Margherita and Pepperoni pizzas—best Fahrenheit cocktails! I can't wait to go back!!!🩷❤️🩷❤️
