FUN BAR!

by tbagger at Citysearch

I love Big Chicks. As others have mentioned here, they have a great Sunday afternoon FREE bar-b-que (rain or shine, summer or winter). The staff is always super friendly and eager to please. The girl that works weekday afternoons makes the best cosmos in the city!!! I like to go on Wednesdays or Saturday nights to play euchre with the euchre club!

• Pros: Great food and mixed drinks. Great prices. Friendly. Euchre on Sat. & Wed.
• Cons: Can get quite smoky

Changes underway

by stickfire at Citysearch

2 years ago I wrote a review for this place. To sum it up, I went midweek to find about 20 regulars and 2 bartenders. All men. My g/f and I were stared at, ignored, then treated rudely. We have both worked service industry and that night was her birthday. We were not going to let a bunch of pretentious gay boys ruin our night, so we left and vowed to never go back.

Fast forward almost 2 years to now... The place is definitely changing. My guests from out of town begged me to re-visit this place and I was pleasantly surprised with the changes.

There is at least 1 night per week geared towards women and transgender folks and there is now a qweer woman manager. There are female bartenders even. There are still lots of pretentious gay boy regulars, but they are much more tolerable when there are hot women in the same room.

I now have only praise for this place. It's always packed, but you can still push up to the bar for a draft beer. This is becoming a great Qweer hangout. Nice Job!

• Pros: location, woman owned, drink specials, women & trannies present
• Cons: pretentious regulars, neighborhood still a little sleezy but getting better

Being a rabid teetotaler, I don't go to bars often, but there is something about Big Chick's that is definitely appealing...Yes, it is the friendliest gay bar in town...nothing prissy here...just good fun!

• Pros: Off the beaten path, Friendly Staff
• Cons: Off the beaten path

I have to rate it

There was a time, when me and my friends were single, that we would go to Big Chicks 3 days a week and have great fun. I go every now and then, and the best part about this bar is the fact that real people go there. If you need a break from the superficialities of boystown, this is the place.

• Pros: Good-looking men, Great service, Easy to get to
• Cons: Bad neighborhood, Small dance floor
