On Thursdays and Saturdays a long-established drag production runs, and on Fridays DJs take centre stage. Drinks are cheap, and in winter you can use the heated patio. For many guests from the south, the club saves the long trip to Boystown.
A good fit if you …
- want to experience drag shows with the Black queer scene
- like house and hip-hop
- are out on the South Side
Not ideal if you …
- want to go out on a Tuesday
