About this restaurants :
Benny the bartender if you are reading this you are amazing! My boyfriend and I wanted to go to a bar for our 5 year anniversary and I picked this one. It was our first time going to a LGBTQ bar and we loved every bit of it. Even at 7pm when they started to play our favorite show- Friday Night Smackdown. Music was great and the people were amazing. We had fun! I had 4 or 5 drinks which came out to be $24.00! I highly recommend this place! Super fun!
My boyfriend and I have always enjoyed the Saloon, even though we haven’t been back since last pride, when we got soaking wet in line for the block party by a thunderstorm. 😛
We especially enjoyed the Wednesday night “bango” as a chill happy hour with good (and cheap!) food and $5 Absolut drinks. ]
We had a great “bango” host and great service from the bar and kitchen. This can definitely be a regular night out going forward!
Always a good spot to return to. Will be very packed on Saturday nights out of all days in the week. Performing staff is great, late night bartenders are great (I imagine it must br a mega stressful job)! Roaming staff might be a bit crabby depending on the day. Mixed drinks will range from $7-$12 each depending on what’s in it. Overall a great place though I have had some bad moments there, it happens. Surprisingly, never had the food; not had the chance to yet.
Frightening. Dirty. Unfriendly. Bad music. They really need more complex fun house music like in Chicago at smart bar, with way more heart and soul. The four to the floor beat is so loud and basic it drowns any rhythm out.
Saloon is an institution. Gay nightlife hot spot for drag, dancing and mingling. I have been going to the bar frequently since my 21st but the only criticism is the music in the main dance floor on the weekends. Whenever I bring my friends to dance it is always repetitive EDM/house music that isn’t very danceable and sounds similar and gives us a headache after a couple hour and a few drinks. If you want new and old pop bops that get people excited I would suggest Jetset. The physical space and atmosphere of the saloon can’t be matched and will obviously be still a popular spot for me.
