   My overall score would've been higher if it wasn't for the loud volume of their music. It was incredibly difficult to talk to the server when we were placing our orders and we had to yell at each other in order to have conversation.

   Sorry, but you did know that it was a drag brunch you come for? Not sure if you've been to one before, but they are generally high energy. We do offer an area that we don't do performances and we maintain our regular noise level. Next time, I suggest not to attend the show, but come when we have a standard noise level. Thank you

   I really love doing the Jeopardy Trivia here on Tuesdays but it is hard to get people to come now that they have started strictly requiring each person to get food AND drink! I feel like it should be either one or the other; requiring both is a bit much. I would better understand a minimum spend per person or table rather than arbitrarily requiring an order of food and drink- especially as it seems this requirement is overwhelming the kitchen as I rarely get my food until trivia is already almost 80% finished. I've brought in at least 4-8 people a week since February, and I'd love to keep coming in, but I think we may need to find another Trivia spot since the food and drink requirement has rubbed people the wrong way. I love this spot and I always have great service, and I'm just saying this to let you know that you may be deterring potential business with this policy! Thanks!

   Thanks Isa for letting us know. We have implemented the policy due to attendees coming to play and not ordering anything. The cost to having this branded game is quite high, and this helps offset it's cost. We never tell you what you have to order, but ask each person playing to order something to eat(can be an appetizer or a fry) and something to drink (can be a soda). We thought this would be fair to all people depending on their budget. As far as overloading the kitchen, the majority of people come in at the same time, right before the game and yes it can bog down the kitchen. Please ask your server if you're concerned with the amount of time it is taking. We hope you understand.

   Good food and drinks, great service, and an entertaining Drag Queen! What more could you want from a Saturday brunch?!

   Cannot recommend the mules enough. The food is alright, but the ambiance is what you go for!

   Trivia was so fun! Great evening! Not sure why Yelp requires 35-50 characters

    Service was really slow and not great. Food was decent, but nothing that's gonna have me going out of my way to return. Took 15 minutes to get my first glass of water and then never got a refill the whole time, despite having asked.
