Wildcat Lounge — Restaurant in Santa Barbara

My first time at a Drag Show at the Wildcat Lounge. I used to go dancing there. It was my friend's birthday and she wanted the show. She assured me that we would have a great brunch. We did not. Be forewarned, they are not connected anymore to a restaurant, and could only provide very expensive bites from a caterer. If you have any food allergies, please eat beforehand. It was a weird show. I expected beauties doing a singing/dancing show. There was maybe 20 minutes of that. There was a lot of audience participation talking and trying too hard. The event was $5 dollars at the door. The drinks are very small, very strong, and quite expensive. The show started much later than advertised. My friend said to be there at 11 am. The show didn't start until almost 1pm.

You're still going to have...

I usually have a good time here. The music is good, the drinks are good, the vibes are usually good. However in the past few months the bouncers have gotten increasingly aggressive. They’ll shove people and yell at them for no reason. I tried to talk to one of them about how many people we were paying the cover for and how much it was and got yelled at in my face. As a woman I had NEVER been spoken to like that in my life, it was ridiculous. Ruined my whole night and I wouldn’t be surprised if they got into an actual fight with someone with how aggressive...
