The main room features a bamboo hardwood dance floor, custom ceiling fans, crystal chandeliers, multi-colored walls, comfortable padded chairs & couches, and more, in a warm, inviting environment.

Queen Bees Art & Cultural Center boasts a professional-grade concert sound system, capable of entertaining up to 300 guests at full volume. Our stage is large enough to hold a 15 piece band. Also, Queen Bee’s has a resident sound engineer on staff. He has over 20 years of experience to handle all the technical parts of any concert or production. In addition to the main room Queen Bees also has an awesome dance studio in the back room. With mirrored walls and hardwood dance floor this room is perfect for  dance practice, lessons, and recitals. Small parties as well. As if that wasn’t enough, there is also a secondary sound system which is capable of either background music, or acoustic performances as well.

Our History

We are located in historic building that originally contained the first Dixie-line Lumber back in the 1930’s. We have tried to keep a majority of the building intact, while keeping a welcoming, semi-vintage vibe. Our venue has occupied this space since early 2009, and chances are every time you come in, you will notice something new. We are constantly striving to improve every aspect of the space to create a more interesting experience for everyone.

Queen Bee’s is primarily a family-oriented venue, and the only one of it’s kind in the neighborhood. We host two 21+ events per month, and work with local restaurants & caterers when events require it. We often have events & classes in both the daytime and night-time 7 days a week.
