"Hel's is probably my favorite bar to go to in town. It always is very inclusive, and has tons of fun and exciting events for anyone and everyone, but especially if you are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. They have karaoke every Wednesday and starting at 10 and also whenever Art Crush is happening hosted by one of Winston's wonderful drag kings. They also host lots of drag and burlesque shows often open to new faces in the space/community. Overall if you are looking to meet good friends or bring your already great friends out for a night on the town this is a good place to stop into for good drinks and good times."

"Hels in Winston-Salem is straight-up fun. Loud, funky, and full of personality — the kind of place where the vibe hits you the second you walk in. It’s friendly, a little wild in the best way, and absolutely leans into its atmosphere. The drinks were solid and the lineup of alcohol and 420-infused options definitely sets this place apart. It’s playful without trying too hard, and everything we had was genuinely enjoyable. If you want a spot with energy, flavor, and zero pretension, Hels is the move."

"Went to Queereoke on Wednesday of last week! It was fantastic! Loved everybody who came out, it was the most fun I’ve gotten to have in a while 🤎 shout out to Roy Fahrenheit!!! You rock! Support local drag!!!"

"Chill spot with a cool vibe. I enjoyed the decor and the patio is really cute. This place is down an ally. I’ll be back."

"Pride week drinks on Tuesday afternoon. Everyone (staff and customers) very friendly. Cold drinks, clean bathrooms! Definitely going back. Very diverse crowd. Friendly dogs allowed outside on patio"
