New nightclub that was pretty quiet for a Friday night. Upon entry, the doorman stamped my white shirt sleeve with blue ink instead of my hand. His attitude was that it was my problem and didn't seem to care what he just did. The ink did not come off in the wash, and so my white shirt is ruined. Accidents happen, but the doorman didn't seem to care. He looked pretty sketchy too. The servers seemed nice and the patrons seemed pretty friendly.

What a lovely little bar. I was just in for drinks, but super friendly staff, gorgeous space and you can tell they've worked hard to make it a very nice experience for the customers. They've put a lot of thought into the experience for the patron and paid a lot of attention to detail. I have heard great things about the food and really hope to get to have a meal there soon.

You know what's wrong with this club they don't warn you however amazing it's going to be. Like super friendly people very good food fantastic set up.

Beautiful space, friendly staff, and great DJ on our Wednesday night visit. While we just had a couple pints of beer, their on-tap selection was small but pleasantly local (a bonus). Hopefully this bar picks up a bigger crowd of queer patrons so it can be successful in the long term. You can tell the owners invested significant time and effort in creating a welcoming space with a big nightclub vibe while retaining a patently Calgary feel. As a dance club, it's good competition for Twisted Element, hopefully encouraging them both to strive hard and attract a larger overall group of LGBTQ+ customers to both bars. The Bunker and The BackLot will continue to hold the market for the welcoming, low-key queer pub.
