Menz & Mollyz Bar

I was hesitant to post this because the staff are great and amazing at making guest feel safe(I rarely go anywhere alone), drinks are overpriced at best so just know what to look for, and they don't give receipts even when asked. Gotta say it's a certain performer who ruined my experience and make me want to avoid performances nights all together I understand cellphones/photography are a no go but I have hearing problems and had a preformer take my phone mid performance (I have an app to zoom in on faces to make lip reading easier) and they ram into me on stage afterwards - literally screaming inches from my face on how I was aweful and should never come back for having my phone out. Meanwhile, I can barely understand them and can't communicate either because they don't understand I'm using ASL and she has my device that I need to use to successfully communicate to them. They could of done anything else and I would have been happy to explain why I was doing what I did(since I know most of the staff they know about my hearing loss but it's not their job to alert preformer) but this performer choose to humiliate me, rather then be tactful and talk to me after the show - I rarely go on performance nights anymore and make a habit of going elsewhere if it is(especially if I know it's the same performer). I rarely go out because of my disability and sure Menz is accepting but those of only ABLE body LGBTQ community members.

I absolutely love Menz! The building is a mini complex where you get a variety of shows and music playing all at once. A true queer bar, the DJ's spin their own mixes and know how to keep it fresh for everyone all night long. You could liken Menz to the underground club scene, and it is very diverse. I always feel safe there and welcomed.

Where to start?I was passing through Halifax during my summer holidays and wanted to check out a drag show, so I came to this bar. Wow... litteraly the saddest show I've ever seen. Besides from starting almost an hour late, the performers seemed to lack a little practice and professionalism. Paid a 10$ cover charge for nothing. Definately not worth it.

Enjoy the bar, but couldn't get the queens off the stage. Went in to dance and we were told there was music, after paying $10 each the dance floor was full of chairs and a drag show. That's cool an all but person on the door should have been more transparent. All in all though a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Lots going on in the different rooms so it can appeal to a variety of genres.

The place to go if ur so inclined feels like an old world pub and Alice in wonderland got together. all kinds of interesting things on the walls and lots of places to relax and lots of events defiantly a good time!

Saw a burlesque murder mystery show there the other night and I had a fantastic time. Always a great night whether its show or event like nightshade or even just wanna go for a night out! Easily my favourite bar! Staff is always friendly and great and the long island ice tea are a staple to any good night at mez and mollyz

Had a blast viewing the Season Finale of RuPauls Drag Race All Stars hosted by the Beautiful Kristi Davidson! Very welcoming environment, and look forward to going to another viewing party :)

Let me start this by saying this happened well before covid and I honestly was just too ashamed to say anything. I don't know if things have changed with new management but a warning to the deaf community be aware there is a preformer who will take away your device if you are trying to read lips with it. I knew there was a rule about cellphones but since I knew a few preformers and the staff at the time, they were happy to introduced me to everyone so I could explain my situation and work something out- everyone but one was okay with this. Mid way through her show she took my phone, waited to the end to call me up and berate me on stage- I attempted to sign several times through this interaction but she ignored me. She went to post about this on her social media and only after I commented my side(screen grabbed everything) she deleted the post- I believed menz was a safe accepting space but I see thats only for able body members of the community. Hopefully the change of staff will prevent this in the future and maybe I'll be attend shows once restrictions and risk lower but fellow community member be aware.

Well, this was my first time at this bar and it will be my last . The older guy- who was the owner— on the door was so rude not just to me but my three friends, so we Left as he keepBeing rude to us up till we left. We as a group never was never rude or even said anything to him I would not recommend this place — u r better off going on Grindr —- do not go there!!! God awful!!!

Fabulous place to see live death metal. Simultaneously, walk 30 feet for dance music on the other side of the facility. The two different crowds blend well. Metal and LGBQT people are accepting of those who are different. Thus, a peaceful evening of moshing and / or dancing and winding can be enjoyed by all. The staff are very friendly and when the bartender saw how thirsty I was after my gig, he gave me an entire pitcher of ice water which I enjoyed straight from the jug. It was our last show of the tour before heading home to Vancouver. However, when we come back, this will be one of our stops again.
