Fun place with cheap drinks. Bartenders are quickly and friendly. Restrooms were clean but out of soap. I recommend the drag show. Make sure to bring some dollar bills!!

Always a fun night out with the girls! Service is always super friendly. Show was great, as usual. Felt safe in this bar. Never have a big issue parking on street nearby. Hope this place sticks around for a long time!

This is the best nightclub in Cincy. The people here are cool, funky, down to earth and know how to party. Awesome bartenders and inexpensive good drinks. And the entertainment, Miss Jessica, and the rest of the Ladies know how to DO IT! The atmosphere is laid back and not prentituos. I feel more comfortable and welcomed at the Main Event than at other Cincy gay establishments. And babies, if you wanna get that twerk on, this is the place! Awesome DJ! Ta Dow

I love the crowd this place brings. Everyone seems to really enjoy themselves without making others uncomfortable. The drinks are a good price as well. I usually go on Sundays for karaoke but theres always some going on between Wednesday - Sunday

Great place to have fun time with family or friends. Bowling lanes and Pool tables are well maintained. Food and Drinks are bit expensive and doesnt taste that good.

Though Ive been away for almost 2 year, the folks here are just as nice as ever. Though not particularly crowded being 3 in the afternoon, the bartender, Eddy, was a treasure. I was thrilled to hear that J.R. is still going strong. Truly, this is one place that I have missed over the last couple of years. Its certainly worth checking out!

This is an interesting place to dance, though likely the dance floor will be taken up by drag performances. So if thats not your thing its best to avoid this place.Cocktails are usually cheap, lighting is dim, and theres a pool table.

Went for the drag show (which was amazing and the only reason I didnt give one star). The bartender was extremely rude to us for no reason. He asked me what color lipstick I wore and when I answered he said, I really dont care, just hurry up Im off in 8 minutes. He rushed me and my three other friends through the rest of our orders, making rude comments about how long we took the whole way through.Then at the table we realized that he has charged me and my fiancee $5.50 for our Titos and Sprites and had charged my other two friends $10 for their Jack and Cokes. We had all 4 tipped him! When my friends took their receipts up after another bartender had taken over the new bartender confirmed that the rude bartender had overcharged my friends, almost double! The new bartender gave my friends a free round, which they didnt really want because he said the other bartender had already cashed out... meaning that bartender had taken our tips and the extra money he stole from my friends and pocketed! He is the bartender that worked yesterday, 08/18 and was off at 7.

Wish that it was a GAY bar I dont mind that straight people go the bar but the bars are where we go out to feel comfortable around other gay people we go out looking for hookups knowing that everyone in the bat or a majority of the people in the bar are also gay and some are looking for the same maybe if the outside of the bar the bar represented gay culture a little more definitively then more gay crowd would come out and it would be more of a gay bar I am a young gay man of 20 and there are not that many bars that allow 18 and up and Cincinnati needs that I would like to make other gay friends other than on grindr hooking up please if you are in Cincinnati and are young and gay please come out to main event
