Nightly diva performances run every 20 minutes starting at 7:30 PM (6:00 PM on Saturdays). $4 happy-hour martinis (and there are nearly 100 martinis on the menu)! Happy hour also includes half-price small plates; the shrimp tacos are fantastic; the food is generally over-priced, so it's best to have dinner here on Wednesdays when entrees are two-for-one.
