Bar and Restaurant Owners React to Tennessee’s New Anti-Drag Bill - Eater
"Wendy Mccown-Williams opened Temptation in Cookeville, Tennessee, six years ago, and says drag events like brunch, bingo, and trivia are the vast majority of what she does." - Jaya Saxena
Love it here!
I always feel so welcomed!
Lots of different events to attend as well as shows, and there’s a tasty selection of food!
The staff are always so welcoming and kind, definitely try their best to make sure everyone is comfortable and having a good time!
Club is always so clean and such a nice environment to be in, 10/10 recommend to everyone!

Plenty of space for what it is. Has a pool table if you really just want to step away and no smoking inside though there is a decent outside patio area so none has to feel uncomfortable. Service is always friendly the few times I've been and the shows are honestly a nice treat with a good bit of humor. I always have a good laugh while I'm there. Not many places are that uplifting.

This is a very fun place. Everyone is so friendly. Just an all around great atmosphere. They have a couple pool tables, smoking area outside, a new day jukebox before the shows and the drag shows are always phenomenal. Definitely recommend to others.

This is a nice surprise for a local club. Nice large cement parking area for starters. Fantastic staff, especially the bartender and front
entry lady. "Billie" the jello shot girl was a nice addition. The club itself is roomy with an excellent view of the performers. The guest hostess was alot of fun! The regular cast performers were great and very customer conscious. They went before the show to each table to introduce themselves and welcome each patron. The rules for "social distancing and tipping" during this Covid-19 pandemic were clear and easily followed. The outside covered area for those smokers amongst us was greatly appreciated. The selection of drinks, even though a beer/wine bar, were excellent. The bartender's recommendation of a Jack Daniels Dow home punch was fantastic!
We will definitely return again with friends.

I went there tonight, and it was an amazing experience. I felt alone most of the night, but I enjoyed myself, and enjoyed all the drag queens. I'm thinking of becoming a regular ❤️

Drag Brunches are amazing at Temptation!! I've taken everyone from my 88 year old Aunt to 21 year old boyfriends of cousins. They all love it. The food is awesome. The performance is always a blast! Wendy is hilarious and could easily be a stand up comic. I think everyone would feel welcome here. Definitely check out out if you're after a fun time.
