Bubby & Sissy’s

This place sucks. After chatt’n with the owner I was informed the bar keep was straight. Not a problem with me however I do have a problem with the bar mgmt. I overheared a (Wash) white trash, nigger want to be; fuck head state I’m not gay & I don’t suck dick. I took offense to this since I am gay and stated what the fuck!!! I told the todler to bring it as he got in my face. He laid his hands on me & I told him that he was about to get fucked up. The employees removed him & after they stuck their straight dicks up my ass. Telling me that I should not have provoked him. WTF, this is a gay bar. I did not agree with this & was just trying to finish my beer. I was refused my beer (I just bought it) and was told to leave. The bar needs new Mgmnt. since this is a gay bar. I have not been to this establishment in over 20 yrs. (Alton Metro) & I do not advise any homosexual going too this place. It is obviously ran by the KKK & right wing establishment. If you are straight & want to mock drag queens this may be your place, however since the owners (brother & sister) are both gay this is a shame. I was allready telling Mike that the service sucked. It only got worse. LET GAY BARS EMPLOY GAY INDIVIDUALS!!! I get better service and respect at Jacobsmeyers in Granite City. A straight establishment that welcomes everyone… After posting this review I called them & they hung up on me. I inturn called back & no one answered. THIS PLACE IS FUCKED UP!!! If you are straight, go & make fun of the fags. If you are gay, u have been warned!!! I will post as many online reviews as possible & copy/​paste this for everyone to read. I have to look out for my gay brother & sisters :). Bubby & Sissy’s can suck my dick!!! Mike & his sister need to make some changes with the staff!!! I’m not out at work (union job) and I am treated with more respect at work. Fuck this shit, I am a cash paying customer… Really, I’m not a dick head; I even bought the owner a drink & tipped the staff (for shitty service) before this all took place. Yes, I know, dumb me; the owner was allready fucked up & drinking for free. I will never step foot into this type of repression again!!! I’ve learned my leason. If you think I’m being dramatic (u r wronge) I’m not outing Mike for what he does in the public sector ;) As u can see this is my 1^st review and just joined Unilocal.Just thought I would save other gay/​lesbian pep’s, PEACE, live and love well folks. BTW, I had to give them 1 star (fuck me). If the owners would like to contact me they are welcome to;

One of the best gay bars I’ve ever been to! Great attitude and atmosphere, along with the friendliest bartenders in Alton! Always have a great time here! Simple but effective in my book! The owners are friends to almost every single person that comes in and an asset to the gay community!

Fabulous diva drag in Alton, IL!!!
Taytay is FIERCE! I wish she could teach me how to put on makeup…
Dragshows Friday & Saturday nights at 11 p.m.
I love the back courtyard with tiki torches, fire pit and a waterfall, it would be a killer venue to host a party!
I love B&S!
— the drink prices were crazy cheap when we were there, and the music was bangin!

I know it is the hip/​trendy thing to go to gay bars and experience something new, but my first impression of the experience in general was «wow-​this is incredibly the same.» I think as a straight guy, it is easy to expect stereotypes, and walking in I was prepared for colorful, flaming personalities and an abundance of awkward tension. I was happily surprised that walking in felt like walking into any other bar. The clientele was diverse, friendly, and out to have a good time. It made the decision to return so much easier!
That said, the reason I go here is for the drag shows. Everyone tells me they are the best in the area, and for the money, they certainly give you plenty of entertainment. My favorite lady to see is Tay Tay, she’s incredibly funny and talented as well.
Drinks are on par with the neighborhood in terms of pricing, around $ 4 for a Captain and Coke, but the $ 1 Jello shots are always a hit with my group. I will say, the drinks aren’t very strong. Maybe I’m just used to my at home mix ratio, but not much alcohol could be tasted in my drinks the last time I was there. Jello shots, on the other hand, seem to be well mixed, and worth the buy!
Once the drag show is over, you can head down to the dance floor and bust a move with the stars of the show. In all, it’s a great atmosphere, everyone is incredibly friendly and open minded, which makes the experience that much better.
One thing I will say is that this is a place for open minded adults-​the jokes can be NC-​17 during the shows, and the staff is more than straight friendly, but it is still a place to be respectful to everyone that walks in.

Best bar in Alton. It’s always a fantastic time here on Fridays and Saturdays. Hilarious drag shows, adequate little dance floor, nice outdoor area. Best place in town to let loose and really be yourself, no matter who you are.
Except if you’re a bigot. Then please, stop being who you are.

I went here for the first time a few weeks back, and had a great time! I was with my wife and a couple of friends, and just missed going upstairs for the drag show before they filled up, so we hung out downstairs until we were able to check it out.
The atmosphere was a refreshing change from a regular bar. I say that, because everyone just felt so relaxed while there. Sure there were a lot of people, and that can get people charged up, but everyone was just kicking back and having a good time. In addition, I’ve heard the patio is great, so hopefully I’ll get back when the weather is nicer.
When we got upstairs, the show was great. The girls did really well. I think several of them could be on their way to bigger and better places, but they all were great.
If you are looking for a good night out, and tired of the Fast Eddies world, definitely give this place a shot. You will have fun!

Five stars for being a hot gay bar in Alton!
I wanted to watch the drag show last time, but we ended up hanging out in between the bar and the restrooms chatting and watching people dance.
FYI: The fifth star comes from the fact that they actually keep Sloe Gin on hand.

The first time I went here was last year for my sisters bachelorette party. It was the best show I have ever been to! I have been to a few other places and NOTHING compares to Bubby and Sissy’s. And you don’t have to be gay to enjoy this bar. I am straight, and this is the most fun bar I have ever been to. They have late hours too. You can dance your little heart out until 3 in the morning! They also have an outside area open in the summer. Its very relaxing out there if dancing isn’t your scene. But the main attraction of this place, the JP show lounge, is something you have to see. Plan on getting there early, especially on a Saturday night. The upstairs fills quickly! Erica the emcee, is really funny and all of the «grrls» are gorgeous! Plan a grrls night out and have fun!
