What People Are Saying About Embers

In Short – Here, you get two clubs for one cover charge. On the dance club side, rainbow flags fly high. DJs swimming in neon lights spin '80s, Top 40 and techno booty-shaking beats, while young hipsters crowd the dance floor. If the club's dance energy isn't up to snuff, head next door for one of Embers' famous drag shows where you'll see Dolly Parton and Madonna like you've never experienced.

Entertaining, not best drinks for the money
by Golbez
This place would have earned 3 stars if they didn't make the weakest alcoholic drinks I may have ever had. For $4 I need rum in my coke. I ended up spending $4 per shot (mixed drink was as much as the shots...)
$2 jello shots, I don't think I've ever paid more than $1 for one. Bill Cosby is turning over in his grave.
Despite that we had a pretty good time.
- Pros: Live entertainment
- Cons: Drag queens lip synch, very poor value in drinks

Great Atmosphere
by ashnewton
Ember's was a blast. I went there with two straight friends and we had a great time. The music was good, the drag shows were good, and the drinks were good.
- Pros: $5 cover
- Cons: If you don't like smoking, not for you
