Absolutely love this bar! The shows on Friday and Saturday nights are loaded with fun and love and support. Drinks are reasonably placed and the owner and his husband are super kind. If you don't know, this is a gay bar BUT most likely the most accepting place you will ever find yourself regardless of race or sexual orientation or religious belief.
Really love coming to NewBees. Great service awesome show , although I never make it to the second hafe but the first part is awesome.
New B's is THE best spot to party in Johnson City. The atmosphere is so welcoming and everyone is always so friendly! You are not alone when you're at New B's, even if you arrive that way. They will share their Excedrin if you have a headache; they will find you water if you're sick; they will dab food off your face so you don't smear your makeup. There are several mixed drinks that taste great (10), but I recommend the Trashcan if you're tryna go harder; it's 15 but I ordered one plus a shot of tequila when I first got there and I was good for the whole night. Lastly, make sure you bring enough dollars for the drag queens! The drag shows are the highlight of the experience. Shows are at 11 and 1:30 (Fri and Sat). I enjoy them both, but the crowd is more hyped by 1:30 so don't miss it!
There was a blonde girl at the front of the stage with an ETSU shirt on with black leggings/shorts I couldn’t tell, who caught my eye!!! This was a fun little place to visit with a lot of nice things to look at!
My very first Gay Bar when I turned 18! Made a lot of friends along the way.. I love the music, the shows, and the staff were always friendly.
Wonderful place! Accepting, friendly, and so much fun! We will be back! Good food. Great drinks. That bartender by the deck last night (10/28/23)was a champ! So many people and just him! He was so kind.
Not your regular disco/bar. If you are LGTQB friendly then pay them a visit and be free, like a bird , a butterfly or an eagle (or just be yourself)
Love going here with friends! Staff is super awesome and helpful. Shows are always fun as well as their themed nights!
