Oh god this place is an amazing time no matter when you go. Just absolutely love going here. It's homey and the staff are always kind and caring while also making sure things don't get out of hand. They have a nice outside area that is both covered and open as well as a "yard" area. The food and drinks are always spot on as well, and the shows are fun to attend and watch.

*Ordered delivery through Uber Eats Burger was delicious and perfectly pink! Bacon, yum! BBQ sauce, yum! L&T, fresh! Quesadia cheese had a great flavor, and the salsa had a nice kick. Fries were soggy but still tasty. That happens with fresh cut fries, especially on delivery. My taste buds and belly are happy right meow! Also, I'm super appreciative that the kitchen is open so late for delivery.

Beautiful experience. Fun and inclusive entertainment by gorgeous performers. Even though it was my first time there, I got the feeling there was already an established sense of family. Despite this, I felt right at home. The drinks were strong AND delicious, the food was top tier, and the music reached my soul. I will definitely be hitting this place up more often.

I come to 37th and Zen for Goth Night pretty consistently and I've never had a bad time. The food is great and the bartenders are really cool - they knew my order maybe a month into my going consistently. If you're queer you will feel like you're among your people here, it's wonderful. Such a good vibe.
