    The most fun and welcoming bar in Groningen! Great drag shows and lovely staff. Cocktails and drinks are tasty too! Awesome queer, fun and easy vibe with Dorothy always entertaining the guests! You can really tell how much the owners care for our community and show up for all expressions of queerness, not just RuPaul girls !! It's a must see!

    What is there not to love? This is such a welcoming place where I feel so comfortable. You can see that it is a place that the owners and community take great pride in. The drinks are also yummy which is a nice added bonus. Go there for a show or just a regular drink and I am sure that you will enjoy it ❤️

    I don't drink alcohol so I ask the bartender to make a drink without alcohol, it was nice and refreshing. Very fun experience with my friend there.

    Simply fabulous, Dorothy and the staff are amazing and make you feel welcome the moment you step through the door. Unlike a lot of gay establishments, Dorothy's is proudly trans inclusive and I really appreciate that

  • 5/5 Teuntje Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome LGBTQ+ bar! The bar personel is putting a lot of effort in supporting the community, by giving the LGBTQ+ community a safe space. The bathrooms are gender inclusive, and they have (merely!) all pride flags that they could find on the wall! The Drag-shows are amazing, and the bar owner (Andy) also helps a lot in thinking along whether or not you can organize an event there!

    I have been twice now, once sometime last year and today for the Expat Pubquiz - such a lovely bar, great atmosphere, Dorothy is absolutely amazing and incredibly funny. Truly a place for every queer (and ally) person in Groningen 💕

  • 5/5 Yori K. 11 months ago on Google
    Lovely bar. Great drag performances. I do have to warn that it cab be quite overstimulating. Lots of lights, music and talking. Would reccomend it though. Drinks were great and performances were radical.

👍👍 Quite simply best fries I’ve ever had. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The cone they use with a separate sauce container is a brilliant piece of engineering. The big portion is 4 euros, and it fed both me and my boyfriend just fine, we even had leftovers to take home. Couldn’t recommend m...
