VIP NIGHTCLUB REVIEWS

I was first introduced to this Nightclub/Restaurant several years ago, and it has remained a safe haven for lgbtq+ & friends to enjoy themselves over the years. Last Sunday, I had the urge to go, and I enjoyed myself as always. I haven't ever ordered any drink for more than $15 before last Sunday. On a whim, I asked the exquisitely talented and charming bartender, Chad, what he would recommend as I hadn't ever had a martini before. I had a notion for Hennessey and knew I could throw caution to the wind and trust his judgment, as friends have also vetted his kindness, talent, and attention to detail. My first Martini was beyond worth the wait, and I truly took my time savoring every aspect of it. Chad was also exceptionally courteous and well-mannered, in addition to intriguing and furthermore in tune when I asked what he thought might be a fun altercation to the recipe, and he had an excellent idea. I had a desire for my second Martini tonight and had the feeling for a more open recommendation (which exceeded any potential expectation). Chad recommended another excellent choice with a very thoughtful consideration of my request for caffeine, opting for a healthier choice than perhaps a sugary bomb canned drink. Bless him and this business.

Had an amazing time at “ I wanna brunch with somebody” Took my sister and her Bridal party. We had an amazingly great time. Highly recommend you purchase your tickets a week in advance… brunch and bottomless mimosas. and don’t forget to bring lots of cash to tip!.

I always enjoy spending time in here everytime I visit. The drag show never disappointed. Overall this place is recommended LGBTQ bar in the IE.

THE MENAGERIE REVIEWS

I love it here, everyone is so friendly! I feel so at home and comfortable here. It feels like heaven. Jelly made me the BEST non-alcoholic cherry lemonade I have ever tasted. It’s so tart and sour, I love it!.

I love this place! Pre Corona I'd come here about twice a month for their weekly drag nights. It's always been a fun spot to go to and have fun with friends over the years.

Nice place to meet with friends, dance , drink and watch a good show.

THE HIDEAWAY CAFE & LOUNGE REVIEWS
