“great food, great drinks, great people”

An uptown bar with great food, great drinks, great people. Never an attitude Never a cover. Big Chicks takes its name from a moniker its owner, the sizable Michelle Fire, picked up on a trip to India. The natives there had trouble pronouncing "Michelle," so they simply called her "Big Chick." Others have called her "The World's Coolest Den Mother," because she is so close to the mostly gay customers who patronize her Uptown bar. As she notes, "we play well together." The colorful Uptown bar caters to a mostly lesbian and gay clientele but is very straight-friendly.
