Unicorn

"You might know Unicorn as a place to experience a sensory overload during Fridays and Saturdays packed with arcade games, cocktails that taste like liquified bubblegum, and circus-themed paraphernalia. But throughout the rest of the week, it’s a central drag venue. On Mondays, there’s karaoke hosted by Glory Joel and CarLarans, bingo on Tuesdays with Izzy Access and Ruby Bouche, variety shows on Wednesday and Friday nights, and brunch on Sundays. " - aimee rizzo

"Stay far away from Unicorn if you want a subdued evening discussing nonfiction literature. This place is a mystical carnival-themed sensory overload where you’ll eat corn dogs, play arcade games, and knock back cocktails that have names like “Americorn″ and come loaded with bubblegum vodka, Sprite, and other things containing high fructose corn syrup. If it’s someone’s birthday, order them some “Unicorn Tears″ and make them wear “the hat” (a.k.a. a bedazzled baseball helmet with a two-foot-long horn hot-glued to it). You can expect at least one ridiculous thing to happen at Unicorn whenever you go." - aimee rizzo

"Typically known for serving corn dogs, funnel cakes, and candy-colored drinks to go with the bar’s circus theme, Unicorn is one of the few places in the area keeping up the tradition of a real brunch buffet. Mimosa Cabaret has been a staple drag brunch on the hill since 2013, and typically features the cast reimagining versions of Broadway musicals for the venue’s colorful basement stage. Be sure to fill up your plate with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and pancakes before the queens come out to avoid a terrible lip-syncing accident." - Kurt Suchman

"Unicorn is a hyperactive carnival-themed bar where acting like a fool is not only accepted, but expected. Get in on the multicolored sensory overload while drinking whimsical cocktails with ingredients like bubblegum vodka and orange soda. Then, spend all your pocket change on arcade games—and be prepared for the puzzle of avoiding the belligerent bachelorette party and/or person who just face-planted into a pinball machine." - aimee rizzo

"Unicorn is a carnival-themed sensory overload where you eat corn dogs, play arcade games, and drink cocktails that have names like “Americorn” and contain ingredients like bubblegum vodka and high fructose corn syrup. It’s a pretty ridiculous scene, but it’s such an institution that you should just pop in for a glass of unicorn jizz and call it a night. You will likely encounter the rowdiest skee-ball tournament of your life and someone falling face-first into a pinball machine." - aimee rizzo
