Chez Est 458 Wethersfield Avenue, Hartford, CT 06114

"Pretty disappointing that they charged us $20 per person to go into the special event Wuff.. and other friends were charged only $10. Sad that this is the only place in Hartford... surely not coming back, just not worth it to pay a high price to go in, and overpriced drinks."

"The Chez Est is well known for being one of the most welcoming and communal bar-restaurant-cabaret locations in the local LGBTQ community. The wonderful owners have renovated this treasured space over the last few years and feature a wide array of fun entertainment to enjoy. Their local and headliner drag shows are top notch and featured on a professionally lit stage. They host weekly and monthly themed events year round, including their fantastic Chez Legends drag competition. Their staff and customer service is top notch and their food menu has several delicious and affordable options. The bar is always stocked with drink options at a reasonable price, on par with all other surrounding establishments. They offer monthly drink specials, comfortable table seating, TV screens all around for additional views of the stage from a far, a private and enclosed outdoor patio (with seating and umbrellas), gender neutral bathrooms, a VIP lounge area, ATM, coat check, and a great sound system. They have a medium sized parking lot that sometimes fills up on busy nights, but there’s also plenty of free on-street parking adjacent to the building (on Meadow St). This local business is worth your time, and you’re sure to have an enjoyable night at The Chez Est, where there really is something for everyone."

"I am really disappointed their motto is "There's Something For Everyone At The Chez" just I just tried to go and couldn't because they are not handicap accessible. I was really looking forward to going tonight. I guess people with disabilities don't count in their definition of Inclusitivity. Do better!"

"The atmosphere is beautiful. The food is great... portions are reasonable and quite tasty. The associates are kind and engaging. I've watched I believe the owner and I must say I like his energy and style. I'll be back.... definitely a place to think about to get away from it all... if you know what I mean. My toes are in the water; what about yours?"

"Small gay club but super fun and nice interior design. Reasonably priced drinks and it is not overly crowded. Had a lot of fun there!"
