My advice is to check if there are any special events or themed nights during your visit. I found out they host drag shows sometimes, which are a blast!
I recommend getting there around 10 PM if you wanna avoid the long lines. It gets packed later, and trust me, nobody likes waiting!
I think bringing cash is a good move. Some bars had odd card policies, and I ended up paying a little more because of that. Just keep some green on hand for tips too!
If you’re feeling peckish, pop by the food truck outside. Their tacos were surprisingly good and a perfect late-night snack! I would’ve skipped grabbing food at a sit-down place before going in.

Don't miss the Friday night drag shows! They start around 9 PM, and they’re an absolute blast – the energy is electric
If you're looking for a chill vibe, visit on a Sunday afternoon. It was less crowded, and I got to chat with some awesome locals.
Check out their happy hour specials! I saved a ton on drinks by arriving around 5 PM when the deals kick in.

I think it’s smart to keep an eye on the events calendar... I stumbled upon a drag show that wasn’t advertised much but it was a total blast!
I suggest checking out happy hour from 5 to 7 PM for great drink deals. I saved some cash this way and the atmosphere is super fun!
Wild Side West
if you plan to visit on a friday or saturday, try to get there a bit before 10 pm. the vibe is great, and you won't have to wait too long for a drink. i had my drink in hand within 5 mins, it was awesome!
I suggest checking out their happy hour from 5-7 PM. The drinks are much cheaper then, and you can grab a bite to eat at the same time. Plus, it’s less crowded!
The Cafe
I think you should try the nachos, but beware—they're huge! I thought I was getting a snack, and ended up with a meal—so come hungry!
My advice is to keep an eye on their event calendar; they often have amazing drag shows and themed nights that can really elevate your experience.
Jolene’s
Make sure to try their signature shots! They’re a fun way to kick off the night, but watch out—they can be stronger than they look!
I suggest hitting up Jolene's during happy hour from 5 to 7 PM for the best drinks at a lower price. Trust me, the cocktails are delish and you'll save a few bucks!
If you're keen on live music, check the schedule ahead of time. I missed an amazing show because I didn't know it was happening that night. Bummer!
OMG
My advice is to embrace the vibe and dress to impress! The crowd is all about style, so show up looking your best for an even better experience.
Hole In the Wall Saloon
I think it's best to arrive a bit earlier – around 6 PM on weekends – to snag a good spot. It gets super packed later on.
