Our Pride Stairs

In 2019, on the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, we built our Pride Stairs to pay homage to the LGBTQ+ community.

Since then, they’ve become a highlight of our space and a favorite place for guests to celebrate their pride and capture a picture-perfect moment.

Giving Back to Our Community

Acceptance and inclusivity are our core beliefs. We’ve built a place where everyone in our LGBTQ+ community can enjoy themselves and feel safe.

We also believe that a space that holds room for our community has a responsibility to that community.

Our Community Values

• Respect the space.
• People of all colors, shapes, and sizes are invited to join us!
• Consent is sexy and required!
• And pay your tab.

We love our community. That’s why we host “Give Back” events where we party with a purpose, supporting local LGBTQ+ organizations and causes.
