Loved this place! Music was bumpin inside and out. The Divas were hott, the drinks were smooth and the bartenders were so nice. Thanks for a safe place to dance and be myself.

Great music, fun time - don't order a drink at last call. Not at all upset about enforcing liquor laws etc..uncool how the bartender said, "finish it or give me it" when you order one of your first drinks at 1:55pm after a long night of work, and have it taken away at 2:05. I'm totally supportive of this bar/workers, just unfortunate that they would sell you a cocktail and take it away in a 10 minute period. No sir I am not chugging my G&T and getting sick - other than that amazing night, will be back just not ordering a bevie that close to 2am.

It's like a sauna, maybe try and keep some type of air circulation, specially when it's crowded. You're suffocating people. Staff is great, but clearly overwhelmed.

I’m the overall an ok spot that left a decent first impression for a first time visitor from NYC. Why only 3 Stars? I visited on Friday May 13th 2022 and the DJ lacked consistency. I got the impression she was throwing anything up on the figurative wall to see what would stick. Floor fills with people dancing then just as quickly empties with next song.

First, I would like say the staff at X Bar are awesome! However, I have had so many negative experiences there which have now cost me $900. First, my salesperson’s bag was stolen with my car keys in the bag. New key and fob $400. Then last night my car was keyed in the parking lot. That is going to be a $500 deductible. I would love to continue to support this bar but at this point I just can’t return. It’s not safe.

The staff here are kind and do the best they can considering the crowds that come here. Friday night was absolutely packed! There is a $5 entry fee. I was disappointed by the coat check. There was no line, people coming and going were waiting. I gave up and just kept my jacket with me. Getting up to the bar was easy. Getting helped was a wait. More people against a small number of staff. They were kind but clearly overwhelmed. The covered outside patio was a great place to get away from the shoulder to shoulder crowd and breathe. The bathrooms are open for all genders but messy at best. Toilets wobbling was concerning and wet floors not only a hazard but also disturbing. TP running out in stalls, saw a person running one stall to another to offer some tissue. Overall it was fun but there's room for improvement. I stayed long enough to watch the show and have one drink.

Xbar, fun local gay bar. The house is always Rockin when DJ Blaque Gurl is spinning!

The atmosphere is great and the serving staff are usually nice if you’re attractive enough, but like was noted below, one of the bouncers is just not nice at all. Like, there is a difference between taking your job seriously versus being rude. To narrow it down, it was the taller white girl. I’ll go back here because the interaction with her is short, but the issue clearly hasn’t been taken care of.

Great staff and clean facilities! Affordable drinks, great music selection, and friendly atmosphere. Large outdoor patio to help with social distancing. Proof of vaccine require and usually a cover charge after 8pm on weekends.

XBar used to be a great spot to go to (pre-COVID). Great environment, drinks, staff, no cover, and always a crowd. It seems after the lockdown they are just focused on money. I have no idea why they charge a cover. When you walk in, there is no one there and the bartenders are so inattentive. I get it if there was a crowd and a good drag show. If I’m going to pay $5, I’ll just go to Charlie’s across the street. At least there’s a guaranteed crowd there. Hopefully, it can get back to what it was.
