History

edit

The queer-owned[2] business was established in 2017, replacing Purr Cocktail Lounge, another gay bar which relocated.[3][4][5]

The bar began serving Sunset Fried Chicken's sandwiches in late 2018.[6]

Robbie Turner has served as the venue's entertainment director.[7] Bosco and Irene Dubois, contestants on season 14 and season 15 of RuPaul's Drag Race, respectively, have performed at the bar.
