// House Rules
EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO ASK.
No dress code, no judgment, no surprises. The full house rules — short, plain-spoken, and the same for everyone.
Skip ahead, reserve a tableThere isn't one. Wear what makes you feel hottest — sequins, sweatpants, harnesses, summer dress. The only thing we'll turn away is anything with a hate symbol on it.
Free before 9PM most nights. Friday drag shows are $15 at the door, $25 for reserved seating. Saturday theme nights are $10. Sunday Funday is $5. Wednesday/Thursday are always free.
Yes — VIP tables, party booths, and bottle service can be reserved on this site. For drag shows, reserved seating sells out by Wednesday for the weekend. Walk-in bar seating is always available.
We're 21+ after 8PM. Sunday Funday brunch (11AM–3PM) is all-ages with a guardian. Bring an ID — we card everyone, including the regulars who've been here for a decade.
Yes. Single-floor venue, no steps at the entrance, two ADA-accessible restrooms (one gender-neutral, one neutral). Designated viewing area for shows with sight-line accommodations. Service dogs welcome.
Yes — birthdays, bachelorettes, drag-show watch parties, queer wedding receptions. Use the contact form below or email events@bradleystampa.com. Buyouts are available Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
There's a small lot in the back (12 spaces) and street parking on Howard. Best move: HART bus Route 12 stops half a block away, and the SoHo trolley runs until 1AM on weekends.
Yes. Trained security, an active bystander program, water always available behind the bar, and a posted code of conduct. If you're ever uncomfortable, ask any staff member for ‘an Angel Shot’ — we'll handle it.
