I thought gay bars were supposed to be fun, inclusive, and cheerful. Someone remind the staff , pls
Rude staff Supposed to be a fun neighbourhood bar. If you want that, go somewhere else
Every neighborhood needs a Barbara’s Pavillion; a gay dive bar that welcomes all, and all show up! You won’t be dazzled by the hidden store front entrance, under whelming ambiance, or limited liquor selection, rather, the friendliness of the staff, and locals, and their fair drink prices. Known for great karaoke and spoken word on select nights of the month, Barbara’s still operates as a private club, so be ready to scan your ID upon arrival. If your thing is sitting at the bar chatting up the bartender, a fun game of billiards, or a smoke with friends on the patio, you can do them all at Barbara’s Pavilion. Maybe you’ll see me there belting out a tune. Heads up, parking is tricky! Xoxo Lorenzo!
I like that they didn't allow smoking inside, and I like that me and my wife got some non-alcoholic drinks for cheap/actually what they're worth.
It was aight karaoke person skipped us for a long time
I love coming here but can't help but feel like the people that work/ come here are racist. DJ DeeDee that comes for karaoke is very curt when it comes to song requests that aren't in English. She always has an annoyed face when I go up to her. Newsflash! People speak more than one language. I was told she carries French songs so I was hopeful that she'd have something in Spanish- but it seems like appealing to a Latino audience isn't really important to her (despite there being a decent amount of Latinos that visit.)
Lady who does the karaoke is a complete jerk. Won’t speak to you tell you where you on the list, never coming back.
They need more bartenders. Service is so slow on a Friday with 1 bartender!!!! Awful. I used to love this place.
Wonderful wonderful wonderful bar... Great service, selection and prices. This place has the authentic dive bar feel. They have a cigarette machine, pool table and dive aesthetics. There is a really cute patio outside as well! Music is spot on. Best bar I have been to in Bishop Arts by far.
