First experience at Urban Mo’s last night fir their Dream Girls Revue (Drag show). We purchased our two $15 tickets in advance for seating at a shared table of four. Our server came by several times for our drink orders (and food if we wanted) and payment was electronic at the table. The venue itself is pretty large and the staff is friendly and welcoming. This was my husbands first drag show and last night there were three regular drag queen performers, one guest drag queen and one regular drag king performer. It was all lip sync and dance performances with some impersonations and some creative interpretations. The stage is small but the back lit screen featured some great graphics and video. It has been a long long time since I attended a drag show and my husbands first time so while I didn’t think to have dollars to tip for the performers, one staff member was walking around checking to see if patrons needed dollars and he was able to quickly accommodate before the show began. Neither of us had ever experienced a drag king and this performer was excellent and very creative. One performer started off with an impersonation of Prince lip syncing to “Nothing Compares to You” which Sinead O’Connor is best known for and then they transitioned into an impersonation of Sinead O’Connor and this was really awesome. Seating began at 6pm and the show itself ran from 7 pm - 9pm. The show was entertaining and the patrons all seemed enthusiastic and supportive of the performers as they made it rain dollars fir the performers. This was a fun night for both my husband and I and I can recommend the experience. A diversity of patrons were present, all ages, genders and sexualities.

This was my first time at a Drag Brunch and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. As a queer black 41 year old woman marrying a man, sometimes I feel my queerness gets buried so drag shows and queer bars really help me keep my full self alive. My besties planned my mellow bachelorette in San Diego and picked this brunch for the interactive elements and the great reviews and I am so thankful they did. The food was fab, the mimosas were tasty, and the service was epic. They all had a lot on their plates keeping party groups, multiple Bach parties (we had brides and grooms and that was so great), and birthdays all happening but my glass was never empty and folks were always checking in. Please forgive me for forgetting the name of our amazing MC in the pink tropical outfit and nameplate chain (which makes me feel even worse for forgetting) …but this wonderful human made the environment so fun from welcoming us in to seeing us all out. Their energy really set the tone for the event and kicked us off with joy. The host Queen, Kickxy, was not only talented and beyond gorgeous, but made the interactive part so much fun. I was scared at first but the whole atmosphere relaxed me and while my team didn’t win, I think we all felt like winners. So thank you all from the bottom of my witchy heart and if any one of you want to come to a wedding in 21 days in Seattle, hit me up.

I went with my husband. His first time here and in a Gay bar!!! We got there with not waiting. It was a couple days before Valentine's Day!!! So it was a showing going on!! I was so excited to show my husband all the beautiful Drag Queens and got a Black Lemonade which is always delicious!! He got and Old Fashion. People were walking around with Jell-O shots and we bought some. I ordered the Chicken Tenders and he ordered Quesadilla. Our waiters name was Denise!!! He was such a Sweetheart!!! He is the one of the BEST WAITER'S IVE EVER HAD !!! So attentive, kind, fast, just all the above!! He told me he has worked there for 25 years!!! Well my goodness Denise is definitely a keeper and he needs a RAISE!!! Lol The food was delicious, drinks, service all above made it a wonderful first time for my husband's first experience to a Gay Bar!!! Thank you for your Wonderful hospitality all, (Host: Victor, Security Chad ) All made us feel Welcomed!!! ❤

I am Middle-astern Muslim gay guy from Turkey. I am an immigrant here in US. My partner is Caucasian American.Me and boyfriend went to the Urban Mo’s bar/Restaurant during Ramadan (muslims are not allowed to drink any Alcohol during Ramadan) for having dinner on a Saturday evening. Security didn’t give any problem when my boyfriend enters to the bar, but he hold me and stare me head to toe and he said he cant get me inside. When i asked again why not he was clearly looking for a reason and suddenly he pointed the Djarum Clove Cigarette package on my hand and he said i cant let you inside with that package. I told him these cigarettes are sold legally in 7/eleven, they are not something illegal or anything. I told him that “you are not letting me in to the bar every-time i come in to this restaurant/bar, is that because of my race or anything” he didn't respond just give me that ugly smile and let other people coming into the bar. I asked for a manager to talk about this. He didn’t let me speak to a Manager. My partner and i left the place since i was not allowed to get in inside the restaurant/bar. I called the restaurant via and talked to their manager. Manager said that he doesn't see any reason to not to let me in with clove cigarette package and its okay to smoke at the door. And he said please feel free to come back in anytime you like. I called Manager back to ask that security name to report BBB. Same manager came on the phone and he gave me the name of that security and this time Manager changed also his mind and said Clove Cigarettes are not allowed at out restaurant patio we allow only cigarettes. This is clearly a discrimination and happening because of my race. They clearly don’t want me in their restaurant/bar and i don't see any reason then i am middle-astern. I am very offended because I deserve to be treated equally as like other tax...

So my big warning to you is that the portion are HUGE!!! I am putting that up front in case you are just skimming through and are wondering what to order.

So I just went here with a group of people from work to get dinner and watch the Wednesday night Dreamgirls Drag show and I have noting but good things to say about the place.

As I said the food was huge portions and the things like the Nachos could feed 10 people and didn't have those sneaky chips that end up without toppings, every one had toppings and it was all yummy. I got the French Dip sandwich and it came with fries and was too much to eat with the shared nachos and I would have considered sharing an entrée if I had known.

The staff was really friendly from the security at the door to the tech crew and of course the servers. Everyone was helpful when I had questions and seemed to be having a good night. They didn't have that "I hate my life" vibe you get from some places.

The show itself was good. For the price you can't beat it and it was about what you would expect for a smaller weeknight show. When I went, it was $16 for the cover and we bought a table for 4 for then $64.

One thing I wish they would have done is told us when each of the performers was doing their last performance for the night. If I had known I would have given out the rest of my dollars or if they had a bucket after the show that could be split between all the performers I know several people in my group would have been happy to give the rest of our dollars we had been holding onto to the performers.

The bar has a good atmosphere, reasonable prices, and would be a nice place to meet up for a first date or to hang out with friends. It was clean and modern and felt safe and comfortable for everyone.

I recommend you try going here if you are in SD if you are looking for a gay bar or if you are looking...
