Trafik

First Trafik isnt Q bar so don't judge this place from those reviews. I've been there several times since the new owners have taken over and I have seen a big difference. The dance bar is getting full again and they have some fun nights. Thursday is a favorite, cook-out on the patio, crab races which is hilarious and then a strip show in the back bar.

The Q Spot not so much

It's just ok, the bar staff seem a little distant, the decor is ok, the music is ok, the drinks are ok, the patio is ok, it just ok. It's a great place to start the night out have a drink or two and then go on to a different place afterwards. Although some good and some bad drag have gone through the doors and graced the stage. 9 times out of 10 it's usually low quality queens, unless it's a special event, but there is no organization to the drag shows seems just to be a dance bar that threw drag out, and even that is just ok

Cheap drinks but not many patrons...

I went to Q Bar on the night of Sat. 3/7/09. Q Bar is a video bar with an outside patio and a game loft. The drinks were relatively cheap--I paid $4.00 for a rum & coke. It was a nice place but there were not too many patrons there, so kind of boring.
