    An interesting evening out. Mina Mercury’s show was on point. Everything you’d expect from a late night drag show. Caught the kitchen just before it closed which was awesome because I was hungry. It was a nice satisfying burger and 0% alcoholic mocktail. I enjoyed it, the bartender was full of sass and I was here for it. I may caught another soon.

    Hosted us for our shared 50th Bday Celebration and we couldn’t have been more happier! The FOD Team was excellent in every way from service, entertainment, food and venue we were treated like rock stars! A true gem in our city and we love FOD as part of our Lower Johnson business community.

    Our group of friends visited Friends of Dorothy while our cruise stopped in Victoria, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable parts of our trip. This review might be a bit of an outlier because our experience felt truly special and personal. We happened to visit while the owner, Rudy, was there, and he was incredibly friendly and welcoming to our group of eight. He immediately noticed how excited we were to be at the bar and decided to play a spontaneous round of trivia with us. The first two people to answer correctly won prizes. Kris got a t-shirt and Robert won a blanket! Rudy also shared the heartfelt inspiration behind the bar’s name, as well as the thought process behind the colors, flowers, and overall aesthetic. The decor is absolutely stunning. Every detail feels intentional, cohesive, and full of charm. It’s clear that a lot of love went into creating this space. One of the things I appreciate most about Canada is how LGBTQ+ friendly so many places are, and Friends of Dorothy is a shining example of that inclusivity. The bar’s Wizard of Oz-themed cocktails are not only fun but also delicious, and the customer service was truly top-notch. If you’re visiting Victoria, this spot is a must-stop. Our experience was joyful, affirming, and unforgettable.

    From start to finish you're in for a real treat at this fab Victoria gem. You must come for the drag show every week. The host and guest performers put on one entertaining and delightful evening. Match this with some very nice food and excellent cocktails. You're in for an amazing evening bring everyone as this is an inclusive event.

    Excellent cocktail and pleasant atmosphere, I will come back to try something else. I asked if it was possible to replace the tequila with mezcal in my cocktail but I was told that it would cost me $5 on top of the $17 cocktail, I found that really too expensive! Other prices on the menu are Little expensive too so happy hour is great! Food is good!
