We had a really tough situation go on and they were so unsympathetic! The management was so poor and I’m truly disappointed in our experience. We arrived half hour early and they gave our seats away because we had an emergency and had to step out for a moment before the show even started and still made in back in on time. They would not provide a refund for giving away our seats, and told us to stand. The bartender yelled rude comments at my friend when we were just trying to figure out why they gave our seats away. They did not try to remove us, but we decided to go else where and when we got to our next location find out that they put a bar ban on our id’s simply because we were unhappy with how we were treated. A truly shocking experience.

Come to twisted, to get your drink spiked. I had like 6 drinks all night, spent 30$ at this place. Blacked completely out and can't remember anything. Definitely not enough to black out. Last thing I remember is them refusing to let me back in after I went outside. Woke up in bed. I've blacked out before from drinking, but actually drank alot. This was not one of those times. Careful there people....lucky my bf brought me home safely.

After over 8 years of living in Calgary, I FINALLY checked out Twisted Element last night. Mama, I'm home!Staff were all smiles and very welcoming! There were no canned beverages that weren't carbonated, so the bartender recommended a drink for me. It was so good! Thank you!Although I didn't stay too too long, I had such a fun night dancing and making friends. I didn't know I was going to check out Twisted when I left home in the evening, so I was just in a band t-shirt, comfy black pants and boots. I didn't feel judged once - something that is important to a lot of us in a club/bar setting.I truly can't wait to come back and check out some events. Thank you for everything!

Edit for owner response ***If you read my review you would see that I HAVE stepped in your facility and it would have been around 2013/2014 for pride week and then again in 2019/2020 after Bianca was doing a show in Calgary. People were judging and rude even then. I don’t need to know the context of a review but I sure can see how an owner respond to these situations. Which is unprofessional language and just straight up lack of defusing a situation. You also said in one review “are you even a patronage of the community we serve?” I don’t know what this means but doesn’t sound right.I just had to say how the responses to these 1 star rating could be handled in such a different manor and yes can impact how someone wants to go to a facility.I came to read through reviews to see if this place is worth while as it’s been a good few years since being in the facility. After reading the owners responses to many complaints I would not go. There are other ways to be professional and seems like the owner needs a course or 2. Also don’t speak on behalf of the whole lgbt community. You do not speak for me what so ever!! Sounds like you talk like what we the community has been fighting against. So sad.Will never enter this establishment but according to his reviews he doesn’t care anyways.

The new owners are amazing. Cover charge has stopped the homeless from coming in and doing drugs aswell as brought in professional paid entertainment. Place is much cleaner , drink prices are a bit higher but I'm willing to pay for that because of the good entertainment

The bachelorette group I was with bought tickets to the drag show. We were there and checked in before the show started but had a medical emergency so we were out front of the building. Went back inside a couple minutes before show started and they had given all our seats away, even though we bought tickets. The manager was so rude and completely unwilling to do anything. A couples people in our group left bad Google reviews and within a few minutes we had bar bans on our ID’s for all of Calgary. Terrible way to run a business. Will never go back again. So disappointed.

Amazing drag performers! However, we went with a bachelorette party and we wanted the bill split. When the bill came it was wrong which was no issue at all the server was very nice and fixed the bill. At the end of the show we took a picture with all the drag queens and the guy (I am assuming the manager) came up to us and said we were very confusing for the server and that if we wanted to come back to the establishment we would need to be more clear and mindful of the server. The brides food was wrong twice and we did not complain. Absolutely the most inappropriate thing that has ever been said to me. Also the food was stone cold and disgusting.

UPDATE - from how you responded to this and others I will be never returning to this location -**by the way my photos and the photos from the exact same event the night prior had been posted 17 days after the event take place, not 16 like you responded, and had been posted after I had made this review.**I have been refraining to make a review until after we received our photos from the most recent MEET and GREET event.. however according to the website it says we should see our pictures within 2 weeks, and its now been 17 days without any of the photos on the website.Also, coming from someone who has shot drag performers, burlesque, ect... the professional photographer that worked the event on April 8th was the most unprofessional and rude I have ever witnessed. Its sad because this was an ALL-AGES event so there were kids that were performing. I was sitting in the back and I overheard the photographer scream loudly ITS TOO EARLY FOR ME TO BE HERE" and storm away and at this point it was noon.. I felt bad for the child performers who deserved professionalism while doing their performances.We paid for meet and greets and were rushed through by the same photographer
