                       The bar is located in Buffalo's largest bar area - the Chippewa Bar Strip, so when most of the straight bars play the same old music on their tiny dance floors most of the straight customers head straight to Marcella Show Club especially on Sunday nights to take in "Life's A Drag" Buffalo's longest running live performance. Chippewa St. and the entire theater district actually looks like a ghost town. The Chippewa down-low, bi-sexual and tri-sexual crowd find Marcella to be the perfect place to stay in the closet and blend in with the hundreds of others who "just come to Marcella Show Club to dance". Of course they do happen to watch the best bartenders in Buffalo, in their boxers dance on the bar or the guys & girls dancing at the pole, and enjoy the best dance music in the city. Holiday Weekends and Special Event Parties, are when Marcella Show Club takes over the entire city of Buffalo especially the gay community. This club throws the largest and best parties anywhere. 1,300 people packed the club for the "White Party" in 2005. People had to park blocks away and wait in line for almost half an hour. These parties are always themed and all who enter the club must be dresses appropriately. Seeing the entire club dressed in white during the White Party, adds to the experience. Buffalo's Leather and Bear groups even attend.
