If you get there a little too early, grab a drink and play some shuffleboard to kill time. Tina’s show was smart, political, nostalgic, fun, and funny; couldn’t recommend...”

“Great drag show with Anita Cocktail. Last year brunch menu was great. This year was a buffet ($25 for show and $25 for buffet brunch). Preferred ordering food from menu but still a great time.”
