I was visiting from Chicago and we got dropped off here by accident and that accident turned into the best night and we had such an amazing time! The music was awesome, the atmosphere was definitely a great vibe! Aaron was on top of everything and making sure that everyone was having a good time. Now about that drag show.... WOW WOW WOW, what great energy and performances from these amazing and ever so beautiful QUEENS! The security guard Kali was a cool guy as well.

I had a great time at the drag show brunch, amazing entertainers. I appreciate the bartender/manager (perhaps) explaining why they no longer accept cash app/venmo/prepaid cards but Nope. I use prepaid cards because servers will over tip themselves. it’s happened too many times to count. I left a tip, closed the tab, take the money out. I won’t give any business access to my actual bank accounts. Maybe these bars that claim to get ripped off from customers should invest in using Union app. It’s more secure and convenient since they already utilize QR codes for their menus.

The overall vibe, combined with excellent service and great drinks, made Let’s Be Honest a place I can't wait to return to. Highly recommend for a night out with friends! Jonathan is sweet

Attended the Brunch Drag Show and brunch buffet. Great entertainment and lively performances. Wonderful to support the entertainers living their best lives and brings joy and laughter on a Sunday afternoon.

The bartender talked shit bc we hadn’t tipped by card but we still handed them the cash we were already going to give them. The crowd was a total vibe! The show was a little condescending but who doesn’t love a little drama when you’re drunk. Food truck was great with desserts! Burger was good for a bar late night burger. They had cute tarot cards for table labels it was a whole vibe!

We hosted a holiday mixer and toy drive here and everyone had a blast. We raised tons of toys and cash for local youth. Everyone loved the show by Kristi Waters!

New to San Antonio and have been looking for a LGBT bar with a good drag show. Was extremely impressed with this venue and the beautiful attitude of the queens. Will definitely be coming again and planning to bring my trans daughter here to celebrate her 21st birthday and my oldest daughter who will both be visiting at that time.
