I remember hearing about this place when I lived in Longview but had never been. I came for the holidays and one of my friends suggested it. So we came. The parking lot was way more packed than I imagined it would be, so I thought it'd be a good sign.
We got there after 11 on Christmas night. The cover was $3. It's a small place and yes you can smoke inside. Since it's so small the cigarette smoke was suffocating. My mom came with us and she's a smoker, she was even suffocating. We all left with eyes and throats burning. The next morning my gf and I woke up still paying for the 2 hours we spent in that smoke. She got sick that next night.
It was kind of hot in there too, but probably because it was so packed. My gf and I got beers, all of the beer is like $3.50 per bottle (there is no tap). My friend and her gf got vodka and cranberry, or should I say cranberry, because that's all it tasted like. (Don't know the price of their mixed drinks). Don't know if there was wine.
Anyways, we came to see the drag show, which was horrible. I've been to drag shows in California and Hawaii and maybe that ruined it for me, but those drag queens were ugly. One of them was funny as hell and looked pretty good, the next one was ok, the next one looked like a bull dog and the next one had a muffin top. Only 2 of them could dance, but the music kept skipping and really all you could do was laugh.
I guess what can you really expect huh? It kind of sucks that this is really all the gay community in Longview has to offer. Oh well, at least the beer is super cheap.
Yeah, this place was pretty fun. It came up when I googled gay bars in the area and so my fiance and I checked it out. It was Sunday and they had a drag show which was really good. Everyone seemed very nice the only downside is there is smoking inside bars in TX, something I am not used to any more.
