Q: Being from the SF bay area, I am ashamed to say that this is the first LGBTQ friendly club that I've ever been to....but I think I'm in love. The vibe here is much more welcoming than most places I've been to in Madison..and seriously, such beautiful people! Glad I slapped on the makeup before I left the house. The inside of the club looks a lot smaller than the exterior suggests, but it still holds a decent amount of people. There is a large stage area/dance floor at one end and a well-stocked bar at the other (back-lit bottles..oooooohhhh). I think I also saw a lounge area with its own bar(?) near the exit. Pros: - Parking was a breeze - Patrons are sweet, bartenders are sweeter - Cheap drinks; whiskey sour did not disappoint - Great acoustics/stage set up..although I probably stood too close to the speakers (do you hear that ringing?) Con: Only the fact that all my friends bailed and I had to experience this place by myself. Whatever, their loss. Anyway, props to the owners for revamping this place. And major props for the poppin' opening night/killer line up. I will be keeping an eye out for future lineups at Five!

Q: Left them a message to make an appointment--no return call. Went to the Tempe office instead, which was awesome!

Q: I have never, ever, been treated so badly in a restaurant in my life. I came in with my girlfriend for dinner last night. We sat down immediately (not that busy) and proceeded to wait 15 minutes for someone to come up to us. My girlfriend finally goes to the bathroom, and our server decides that this is the perfect time to come up and get our order. She sits back down, we order 1 lb of shrimp and 1 lb of blue crab. BOTH SPICY 1. I ask for a bib because mine was broken. In mid sentence, asking for gloves and a cracker as well, my server is already gone. Wait 5 minutes of hot food sitting in front of us, to get up and get the bib, gloves and cracker myself. I then try the (wimpy) spicy 1 shrimp. I got a spicy 3 last time and this was clearly a 5. Too spicy. Look for our server, nowhere to be found. So I tell a busboy, "hey sorry we ordered a spicy 1 and this is way too hot" they go back in the kitchen, come back out and tell me that I'm wrong and it's a 1. I'm a sous chef. I have a sriracha tattoo on my arm. I like spice. This was too spicy. My girlfriend does not like spice. We then got our server, finally. He then told me I was a wimp and should have gotten a 0. At this point, I am furious. He says he'll get his manager. She comes out, maybe not aware of how mad I was already, and made a joke that I looked so sweaty it must be super hot. Again, being made fun of. The sausage in the crab was cold and undercooked. Was told I was wrong about that as well. The manager chased us out to give us a $50 gift card so I wouldn't write this review. Guess what.

Q: What a disappointment this place was. The drinks were very weak, service was slow and the waiter spent more time flirting than serving food. Tried the brisket expecting am amazing piece of meat, average at best. On par with Famous Daves at double the price. everyone who got the burger raved about it, so stick with the burger
