Drag and Dance

We went to Aqua to watch a Drag Show. It was pretty good and the crowd was very mixed Straight/Gay. My main complaint with this bar is it was full of smoke. There was no ventilation and between the cigarette smoke and the smoke for the dance floor it was hard to breathe. It was a nice place to dance but not a favorite.

The best drag show!

Was there on a Friday night and it was the best drag show i have ever seen! Very professional! After the show they open the dancefloor up and thats when it dies! Great ligjt show but terrible DJ. Had know idea what he was doing. For such a great dancefloor i was really disappointed. The staff however was the best!

Great Place

Just got back from Key West and went to Aqua three seperate nights..Kudos to them for doing something for the earthquake victims in Haiti. Key West is a small island and they realize that it could have been them as well. I actually met the owner (Jill) and she donated her condo up in the panhandle at the silent auction to help support the cause. Everyone was extremly friendly and the drag show is better than 801 Bourbon St. My only complaint is that they don't advertise a cover charge anywhere and each night I was there (depending on who the person was out front) the cover was different. It was pretty frustrating. One night when I was told it was 15.00, I walked away and the guy came running after me and said that he just spoke to the owner and that I could get in free tonight...Good thing he did this because I dropped about 50.00 or so on drinks. I actually sat near the door and watched while some poeple paid a cover and some people that walked away were told they could get in for free. I wound up not having to pay a cover and had an AWESOME time. Just tell them to ask for the owner (Jill) and she will most likely let you in. Have Fun
