I absolutely love the gay 90's! Especially on Saturdays when the crowds are bigger and they open up the dance floor downstairs.There's a lot to do and I'd be surprised if you get bored.WHY FOUR STARS?1) I will note that the music can be VERY loud so bring earplugs.2) Also the drinks are very expensive so I'd suggest pregaming/buying only a drink or two here.3) Furthermore, it's easier getting drinks at the upstairs bar than the downstairs. The downstairs floor tends to be more packed and there's only one or two tenders down there and it'll take a while if you don't wave them down.4) leave before the close. This is just on the basis that a lot of people will stay until they close the doors and these tend to be very drunk persons. It's not the gay 90's fault, it's people drinking irresponsibly. It's easier to get out if you leave before 2am as well.SUNDAYS:Sundays are a LOT more chill than Saturdays. They only have the upstairs open so you can watch the drag show and get drinks from the smaller bar. They do have dancing the last hour or so of the night but don't expect a big party like you see in the movies on Sundays.

I'm really not sure why gay nineties is getting review bombed lately. I just went there Saturday night and had a blast! The bartenders were great. Karaoke was great. There were good vibes. I felt safe the whole time as well.

I’m writing this solely because I’m concerned for the safety of women at this club, and I normally don’t write reviews even if I am upset about something. However, I feel I need to share this experience. The upstairs area is great, let me start off with that. That is the only reason I’m giving two stars, because if it wasn’t for that this would be a one star. I just think it’s unfortunate that that area is connected to the downstairs club area. If you’re interested in an LGBT experience, you’re not going to find that there. The club area is filled with straight men, especially older ones who will harass the freshly 18 year old girls. And, they will try to buy them drinks. Now, I know drinks are a legal issue when it comes to underage people drinking them, but the problem would be closer to being solved if the older men were kicked out instead of the young girls. Anyways, that’s not entirely what this story is about. I went with a friend, and he was drinking quite a bit. I was having waters. At one point during the night, he was getting himself a drink and getting me a water. He asked for me to take his drink to a table while he waited for my water. Now, I know that is technically not allowed. If I had simply been asked to leave for holding his drink I would not be writing this. Would it be a little annoying? Yes. However, it was late anyways so I didn’t care too much. Instead, a security guard came up behind me, PICKED ME UP, and carried me partially outside. I was terrified. There have been many instances of near kidnappings at this facility, including one that happened to my friend. After a moment when I realized what was happening I pushed away and just sped to the door. While doing that, I turned and saw the security guard shirt. He didn’t say a word to me, didnt ask if I had a coat (it was still somewhat chilly at that point), and never said what he was removing me for. I realize I shouldn’t have been holding my friends drink, but setting this behavior as standard for the security guards when there are issues with attempted kidnappings anyways is extremely dangerous. Do better for women’s sakes, and train your security guards better. They should at least explain who they are and why you’re getting removed before asking you to leave, which by the way, as I said, I was not asked to leave. I was partially carried out. You all should be ashamed for treating women this way.

Went here for the first time on a Sunday night with my Queer friends. It was very low-key with a thin crowd but the drag shows were incredible! We were even greeted by one of them after the performances and they were so nice!Security also kept a creep off stage which was nice since he kept lingering around with a bunch of ones in his hand.There was also a really sweet woman who started a lesbian dance circle at the end and that was so much fun ? ?The reason I give 4 stars is because I didn't really meet the staff and this was my first experience. I haven't been when it's been really busy.

I went to this place yesterday and everyone was super nice but I want to shoutout to the bartender guy who attempted to make me an Irish trash can despite not knowing what that was. You are a truly remarkable and considerate bartender and have my sincerest thanks. It was my first experience at a place like this and I’ll be more than happy to return again for a fun night!

A fight had broken out and everyone was asked to leave. This then lead to some security guards lying about being able to get our coats from Coat Check. My friend had another security guard grab him by the neck as people were asked to leave EVEN though we were well on our way out. The marks are faint, but they are there. I've enjoyed Gay 90s as an establishment and it has its ups and downs, but this night is definitely a turning point in my willingness to come again.

Some security girl screamed at us for using the bathroom then yelled at us again for waiting to get a Lyft…… everyone else was nice but she ruined the entire club for me and all my friends. We don’t even want to come back because of her. Hire better security who won’t scream at people for peeing. Smh. My arm will be bruised from how hard she grabbed me.

The 90s is the place to go to dance! Several different areas to dance in and several bars within the club, plus a fantastic regular drag show. Always a good time!

Don't drink the beer. You will get sick. Bartender served me two beers which expired 4 years ago. I drank half of one and the bartender yelled at me when I brought them back. Got sick in parking lot after sober. 90s is a tough one these days. Sad since the made improvements. Not a safe place to. Lots of pick pockets

go here if you like your phone stolen and then the bouncers call you racist for showing them who stole your phone. utterly disgusted. legal action being taken on Monday as its clear as ever they are more than likely in on it.
