What where they thinking!!!!

Have been to Embers many times and seen alot of DRAG shows, but happened to come in on a Wednesday Night with my BF and the show was so aweful and dead that we went somewhere else...Either get another upbeat hostess or loose your business...

The name says it all

This place is a dive, but not the good kind of dive.

Violent Drag Queen

I was with my girlfriend about 4 tables away from the stage. It seemed as if the drag queens were looking into my eyes when they sang. I was dressed in a beautiful retro dress, and my girlfriend and I were cuddling. Suddenly a drag queen lashed out and walked over to us so that the spotlight was on us. She took her sweatty dollars and shoved them down my bra, leaving scratch marks on my chest. She shouted at me that I earned them and to get out of her club. I complained to management about the assault. They knew who the person was and they refunded my girlfriends and my money. I felt like calling the police, but I have seen Stonewall and did not want to start trouble there. I am still traumatised by the assault and now avoid the place.
