Club Q

This guy, didn't get his name. A big A hole. Had attitude for asking for an extra shot and to add lime to my drink. Threw the Limes at my drink and it landed on the counter. Then he looked away and rolled his eyes. So taken back. No one like this man should be working here. Not ok club Q Edit: at the end of the night, 2 minutes before close he came over to me and ripped my beer out of my hand and told me to leave. Never had that happen by a bartender. no sir I'm chugging before I go I paid for that. Rude ass MFR

Buddies, attached to club Q, I don't appreciate the staff, whether they are on or off-of-the-clock mingling with the patrons as aggressively and as sexually as they do. Yes, when in Rome, do as the Romans, but there's also a line of professionalism that shouldn't be crossed by the staff unless they, at very least, leave the job site entirely, before coming back as patrons. As far as the club Q side, considering it's basically the only gay club left open in Colorado springs, can we do something besides drag every freaking night?! Don't get me wrong, you've got karaoke Thursday just like every other bar in the United States; there's more to gay life than tucking our junk between our legs and parading as women. Thanks for perpetuating a stereotype.. Furthermore, these drag shows are only inches away from being comical and satirical burlesque shows leaving the Flintstone's franchise more of a proper drag show in comparison. The decor and bar work have finally stepped up aesthetically. That's your one star Y'all need to replace your old ass hot tub, the jets work no more. Your steam room consistently smells of lingering hot urine. Even the music provided is way off base to the energy you should be providing otherwise. You're basically the only one of these clubs still open and the simple fact that your customer base has plummeted the way it has, that's legit on y'all. It's time to start listening to your clients. Your bill payers. As you sit in your $million/month apartment in all your luxury things.. you're not hitting for money, based on your drink pricing schemes as a start, you're just greedy af 1%'rs...

My wife and I love this place. Not only are the drinks fire but the queens, kings and all gentlethems in between are talented, performing everything from lip-sync numbers to live-singing to burlesque numbers. Every experience we've had at this location has been positive since new management took over. We are leaving for Phoenix and will miss this place!!

First time here, it's pretty fun. We came on a Saturday night and they had drag queens followed by a live dj. Loud and fun music perfect for dancing! They also have a smoke room if you smoke.

The drag show consists of guys doing guys lip sync and the women doing the same. What is the definition of drag? It's not here! It was the worst Of the worst! After the show! It went from horrible To omg worse! The dj would not accept request. How is that possible? No one. I mean, no was on the dance floor. Coming from Denver, I knew things would be different but NOT dead. I was highly disappointed and what a drag and not in good way! I expected more from the community here. What a disappointment!

Such a terrible experience. Poor service and harassing staff. No wonder the place was dead. Will never return. I suggest everyone else never attends. staff was dry and boring. Sad sad establishment.

Being from a bigger city (Dallas), we weren't sure what to expect. We always try to support local gay businesses when we travel, so felt inclined to give it a try. The place clearly is different than what some negative reviews have shared. The place has an edgy updated feel to it (heard the place was recently being updated). The place is bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Nice size stage, bar area, dance area, huge patio, nice lighting, and a billiards area. There seems to be something here for everyone. If you want just a drink, dancing, performances, or patio kick-it time, this is the place to be. Heck, they even have a kitchen with some great grub options; so have a cilantro lime shrimp salad, or tacos, or even a green chili burger while you chill! Our experience was topped off by our bartender Clint. Such a pleasant person to have behind the bar. He was always busy...cleaning, serving, tidying up, engaging guests, etc. Just the kind of employee we want. Nice work Clint and great job on staff selection to the club management. We will be back and will encourage patronage to this gay establishment.

I absolutely love Club Q they play the best music of any club I've ever been too. The drink prices are very reasonable, they have pickle shots that are freaking delicious! The staff is so wonderful everyone is so nice, they have a huge outside area with a dj so you can go out and smoke and not have to miss out on the music. When you're outside someone will come out with tube shots and jello shots and they are delicious and cheap! Its my favorite place to go.

Club Q is a place for you to be you and express yourself. They make everyone feel welcome and safe. The staff are amazing people to know. They have some amazing and fun events that go on year round and they are all around amazing. Love the bar and love the people there.

Interesting crowd. Very young. Great DJ. Lots of drag queens hanging around. beer on tap a +. Was just visiting springs for the night, would go back here.

A little on the pricey end when it comes to drinks but staff is always friendly and welcoming. I LOVED going to karaoke night and I'm definitely planning on coming again!

If I could put 0 stars then I would do just that. When I used to live in Colorado Springs, this was the place to be...unfortunately. The Good: Uhhhhh....it's $5 to get in...wait, $6. You can order food here and eat, believe it or not. A lot of bouncers. The Okay: There's a better DJ. The WTF?!: EVERYTHING. For starters, if you're not 21, you can get in...after paying $20 at the damn door. Second...can we say ghetto? I like variety but this is just ghetto. Girls, if you're looking for good looking, drama free women then look somewhere else because this place contains thuggish looking women that don't resemble women. Third, it's gotten a little better when it comes to fights, mostly the lesbians, but still it's riddled with drama that there's guaranteed to be some sort of fight or scuffle. Fourth the bathrooms, well the womens, is DISGUSTING!!! I want to wear plastic bags over my shoes so to not pick up anything! Use the mens bathroom instead. Fifth there's a fucking stripper pole on the dance floor where a lot of annoying strippers and non-strippers climb up and do stupidity, so watch out, you might get hit. Sixth, on the side of this dump is some sort of haunted/fun house for men only that includes a sauna. According to sources, the place is a huge scary maze where body parts come out of holes, swings, and a room where people can stick their hand in and violate, I mean, touch you. There's a membership fee though. Seven, the set list is predictable and songs get repeated 3 times. The last DJ only played requested songs when he was given tips. Everyone gets on the dance floor about 4 times to dance that stupid ass song, The Cupid Shuffle or whatever the hell it's called. Overall: This place is no Babylon (all you Queer as folk lovers). I used to think this place was awesome four years ago but now it just makes me go WHY?! It gets at least one star because it made me move to Denver.

I was kicked out by the owner Tim and he said to me, "I can no longer do business with you and I can't tell you why." I thought I would take the time to help anyone considering going here. Overall, it takes forever to get a drink, all the tables feel like there missing a leg or the grounds not level, coat check prices are outrageous, and the bathrooms are disgusting. They have the smallest parking lot leaving most people parking in the dirt and walking trough mud and potholes. The security is overly aggressive, the location is obscured from the main road, and the smoking patio is not heated. Theres a small propane fire circle that they call a heater but without solid walls people just freeze. Im glad I was 86'd, there are many other places to have a drink.

When searching for a drag show to attend while vacationing in CO, I found this place online. So happy that I did! The place is set off of the main road, behind a strip mall. You cannot see if unless you pull into the strip mall. It's not a huge place, but there is a lot packed into one space. The drink specials are very reasonable. 2 for $5, as long as you arrived before 10pm. We were warmly welcomed by the bartender, which was nice because we had never been to this club. After we got our drinks, we went outside to the outdoor area and after standing out there for 5 minutes, we were then greeted again by fellow patrons. Even though we were clearly outsiders to the clique of the club, everyone was so friendly that we felt as if we had known these people our whole lives. There was no drama whatsoever, the whole night. This place is also very straight friendly. My friend and I both are straight and did not feel uncomfortable of out of place while being here. If you are comfortable with this type of community, you have no business coming to a club like this in the first place. If you are, then you will have a great time here. So happy we decided to kick off our vacation with a night at Club Q.

I think one needs to keep in mind about this place is that it's not SF, LA, NYC or Denver, even. It's like, the one gay bar in Colorado Springs. If you are from bigger cities - obviously it's going to seem dumpy. However, if you look at it for what it is - it's fine. Nothing special, but given it really is the only gay place in the Springs - it's not that horrible. The decor is fine and I find the vibe is fine. My only critique is that sometimes it seems its trying to become more high-scale than it is, or really would be - given it's in CS (bottle service, really?) but just stay in your lane, boo and Club Q, you'll be fine.

Dead! Outside area is a closed in porch that is nothing but cigarettes and smoke. Terrible music. No dancing.

I was very excited with the description of this club and that feeling turned a 180 as soon as I arrived. The place was nearly dead and seemed to not even attempt to offer any music to dance or lift the energy. The drag show lasted for 2 hours. That two hours was painful as the drag show was subpar with performances and music that would've been great in the 1960's. It was music of the likes of Judy garland. I don't mind paying homage, but that was the entire night's playlist. The drinks were expensive as I paid $18 for an LIT (after I explained how to make it). The more frustrating part was the bartender having an attitude with me because he didn't know what an LIT was. There is plenty of parking and space inside. There just needs to be a better presence in the front of the house. The patrons were nice and dressed anywhere from casual to heels and shorts to full out drag. The personality from patrons is there. The management just needs to follow suit with atmosphere.

While I don't reside in Colorado Springs, I do spend time in the area as my immediate family is stationed at Carson. After hours of family time, a girl just wants to go out and grab some booze! Well... I did a drive-by all the local gay bars, and found this one to look more populated than others. After hours of debate, I grew a pair, and went in (solo). Of course, a new face always gets some glares.. but the bartenders were super friendly. After a drink, I went to the one place in a bar I know I can always make new friends: the smoking patio. It worked. Within 5-minutes, I was making friends with a small group of peeps. And it worked 2 different nights! While I definitely wasn't at home (I do live in the Castro of San Fran), I really enjoyed the friendly service, the awesomely-amateur drag performances, and the drink specials. They offer food and sometimes charge a cover, but it was worth it - to find a great local spot to grab some drinks in the company of 'my people.'

I am actually shocked this place is still open. Missy, the bartender, is the worst. She (his own adjective) will grind on your man and then when you complain, refuse to serve you! Went to drag show and it looked like they just went in their moms closet and just put on a show...consider this your warning, dont waste your money.

The club is cool. Nice big dance floor which is most of the reason I like to go out, big enough bar, two pool tables and a big smoking area. The drag show is pretty good too and their main girl, Porsha DMarco Douglas is AMAZING. Last time I saw her, she actually leaped off the stage and landed on the dance floor in the full splits, and did a back handspring... IN HEELS! My jaw hit the floor both times. That girl knows how to put on a show. She is the main reason I go back. The staff is the real issue. The bartenders seem like they are new to the game. I drink gin and tonics and I always ask to muddle the lime. They have not gotten it right once. I know it's not common, but a bartender should know what muddle means. One time I got extra lime, and last time the guy poured the gin over ice then squeezed in two limes, added the tonic then garnished with another lime. I have acid reflux problems and the last thing in need is More lime. I just want you to mash that bad boy on the bottom of the glass, is it so hard? Do I need to pull up a youtube video to help you understand? The people at the door are snobby and the last time I went, I was hoping to get there by 9 because its free if you get in early. I got there at 9:08 and he wouldn't let me in free. I understand rules are rules but come on... I was 8 minutes late and the free thing was the whole reason i took my butt up there- what a deal right? I pleaded with the long haired guy and he refused. I said "what if I promise to buy a lot of drinks, get drunk and tip the girls well," still nothing! He said " my manager would kill me..." Really bro, you're the only one here and I'm sure if I told the manager how much I buy at the bar he would be happy to accommodate a frequent and generous customer. I had to pay and it really made me moody (til I got my drink anyway). The DJ on-point tho! She plays pretty good stuff, mostly mainstream though. I did ask her to play Will-I-Am's new track, Feelin' Myself once and two hours later i hear the beat but someone else singing. It was close enough but I don't understand why I couldn't hear my jam! Not a bad place but certainly nothing special. Seems like the usual's basically run the place and if you aren't a familiar face, forget about it!!! But again, PORSHA is worth a visit on a Friday night...

I don't know what everyone else is talking about. I came here on a Saturday and it was poppin. I got served several beverages. There was dancing. There was merriment. This place is dope.

Friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Pool tables and a nice atmosphere. Better setup than most of the bars in Denver.

Place is decent. Prices seem ok. It's a good place I guess. Not overly friendly but not rude either.

I always have a great time at Club Q. Im sure its partly because I always go with my boyfriend and his cousins. They are all so fun to party with. But I have also always gotten good service and the place is clean. We always have fun dancing and watching people dance. Decent, average, pricing.

Awesome! If I could recommend this place to everyone in the world I would. I used to go years ago and it was horrible then I moved back and tried again. New look, new owners, new everything! This place is defiantly what this town needs. I looked at their website to see what was happening. There is always something happening always some event or show or theme or something everyday is different. The shows are great, you won't see shows like this in Miami or LA so different so fresh. The DJ is a freaking drag queen, how cool is that, and shes hot! Her music is awesome to, she's gonna make is someday, there was another dj but he played mostly hip hop which is okay sometimes i guess. Then that little lady behind the bar, you can't help but smile when your around her. I always meet someone new when I go there, everyone is so friendly. You can just be yourself and not worry. No other club is like that, its about what you wear and who your with. It's not like that at all here. Just be yourself and have fun. And you will. Thank you Club Q you've made a customer for life. And I suggest everyone check it out. Really you wont be disappointed. I read some other reviews and those are from like 5 years ago. It's totally different now. Try It!
