Not a fun place to go anymore . They wont allow you to even dance in your own seat at your own table . Staff member with light blonde hair ponytail there was also super rude about it and will yell at you.

Very cool place to go to with a lot of energy. I wasnt into the music but everyone else seems really into it. Drinks were a little strong. Dance floor is awesome. Theres a gender neutral bathroom that people werent expecting but it didnt bother me.

Badlands security removed a regular patron because, and I quote, He looked at me funny when we walked by. They refused to explain why they were removing him until pressed, then claimed they had a complaint about someone spitting and lacking any evidence, decided it must be him. This was a regular patron who has spent thousands of dollars over the years at Badlands, and had nothing to do with whatever complaints they were pursuing. When asked for their names, the security guards refused to give them. They also shoved the patron and refused to acknowledge that three other people were with him at all times and saw no bad behavior from the patron.Shame on them. These straight, ill qualified and disrespectful guards need to be fired and Badlands needs to do better.

I had such a great time here! It had mad energy and karaoke next door! I didnt get to see a drag show the night I went, but cant wait to go back to see one! I liked it the best from all the clubs around. Cant wait to be back!

Im amazed at the poor treatment I received from both the door person and the security guard when I attended the club last night 4/13/19. I accidentally left my wallet at the bar upstairs and left the club. I went back 10 min later and they had closed off the upstairs area by putting a chain across the stairs. I went to the door person working behind the counter and she said there was nothing they could do. I asked to have someone check for me to which she replied dont give me attitude! I asked if there was someone else who could help me... she had security come and explain that there was nothing they could do but wait for the club to empty out and they would check. I waited outside the door for 20 min while the club emptied and then reminded the security guard that my wallet was left upstairs and asked if either I or someone could go get it. I told them exactly where i left it.It took 15 seconds for the security guard to tell me that it was not there even though i sat there and watched the guy never leave the front desk or radio anyone to check. I was immediately given the absolute worst attitude and treated like i was an inconvenience and some kind of criminal!I called my bank after about 15 min of begging them to check for my wallet and my card had already been used at the liquor store on the corner.I am disgusted with this treatment. It would have taken 30 seconds to let me go get my wallet but instead they chose to be rude arrogant. I have been going to badlands since the day they opened and the depot for about 20 years.Based on the way I was treated last night I will never be back.

Nice cozy place. Music is loud enough to be enjoyable, but quite enough to let you talk without damaging your vocal cords

I did not know that I was going to a gay bar this evening, so to my surprise there were lots of dudes in here, and they were not out to find women. As a straight man, I have to say this place was pretty fun, especially since I got a free beer out of it. Strangely enough, I left with a higher confidence level, albeit driven by advances from other men. This is the kind of place that straight girls would love to go to since they wont get hit on while they dance.

An amazing club! Drag shows, Trapicana trap music night, and so much more! The bar staff is very nice and knowledgeable!

Bar scene is energetic, but wouldnt recommend for dancing. Floor is small and didnt favor the music for dancing. Was music youd hear on the radio in the top 20 in the 90s. For example, No Scrubs TLC. Maybe I just went on the wrong night.

Best club in town if you dont mind being ratchet. The drinks are cheap as hell. Im straight and like going here because the crowd is usually very friendly and not into airs.Probably dont go if you suck.

Cool venue. Top 40 Friday night was only hip-hop. People I was with seemed to like it though.

Visited Sacramento a few weeks ago and stopped in for a drink. I had a good time but the club is nothing special. The place was totally dead but maybe it was because I went in early in the week. It looks like it might be fun on the weekends, they have a big dance floor and outdoor patio.

Great gay bar with dancing. Drinks are a little pricey.

Review №23

Great bartenders, great service, amazing venue, fantastic drag queens, but to be honest their music is super outdated. Far too often they rely on throwback music and it really kills the mood for the crowd.

If I could give this less than a star I would. I was harassed by a bouncer for being a trans woman that uses the woman’s restroom. He literally followed me into the bathroom to tell me I wasn’t allowed to use it because I was a guy when I CLEARLY had a FULL face of makeup on and heels and nails and I was carrying a damn purse for Christ sake. This bar claims to be a safe space but doesn’t seem very Trans-friendly. Disappointing

This is like the only real gay club in the area. Faces is NOT gay. I love the staff and it is great running into my friends. There definitely is a community here.

6 of us went on a Wednesday to check out the Trapacana event. Everything was going great until someone with leopard print tattoos on his head threatened us. Turns out he works there. Id give it 4 stars if it were not for the bad experience with the staff.

I litteraly had 1 shot there in an hours time and the security guard kicked me out for being to drunk because I wobbled on the stairs. I tried to explain to him my legs were sore from leg day at the gym yesterday, but he rudely escorted me out. I will not be returning again.

Generally nicer than Faces. Drinks are a little over priced. Can be hit or miss with the overall energy. Parking isnt too bad. Worth it to get their text notifications.
