so much smoking, im trans and my lungs have been hurting so bad since i left, it could kill me because of the meds im on for hrt, will not be returning, their "double shot" of amaretto was less than a single shot because of how much ice was in the shot glass, will be going to lucys place in johnstown from now on, it is worth the extra drive if i dont want to die from a blood clot in my lungs, i feel really excluded by this place, they even have a patio with chairs so why is smoking allowed at the bar, this place really lacks consideration for trans individuals
Price per person
$10–20
Last night was my first time at Escapde. I had high hopes. Unfortunately this bar is not safe! I went for a local drag show and the performance itself was good. I was worried for the queens safety though because any rando in the place was allowed to video. Patrons were hardly giving the queens any tips and queens were forced to pick up their own tips from the floor at times. On another note, I unfortunately wound up seated in the "cigarette pit" across from some guy wearing a confederate flag hat. I don't understand how a supposed queer space allows people in with that type of attire. No wonder there were hardly any POC there. The only person who seemed willing to speak up about the racist flag hat was subsequently assaulted by Escapade staff. I was shocked! There were so many failures on the part of the bar to make sure queer people have a safe space to gather and queens have a safe place to perform. Gays stay home. This place ain't worth it.

This place is super clean, nice and well run inside! They know how to put on a good drag show! The bartenders are so nice and quick. Definitely will be back!
