I was there 7/26/14, I'm a straight female and I had a blast! The staff were all nice to me. I have never been to a gay bar before but I will definitely go back.
The cover charge for females isn't a big deal, they want men in there. Just like at "straight bars" men are charged a cover because they want females in there.
The drinks were cheap and strong. The line dancing of gay men and the drag show was a nice change of pace.
The only thing I didn't get was the no purse thing. (You can bring a wristlet) but I guess it goes back to the "they want more men in there." No biggie I just brought my necessities and was good.
I loved this place!
