Might as well start with the bar named Queer Bar.
Organized around a long catwalk, Queer Bar has turn into the defacto drag bar in Capitol Hill. They host drag multiple nights of the week, alongside karaoke, burlesque, and bingo events. Expect chiller evenings with lots of locals on the weekdays. But on the weekends, it becomes a full-scale party. Note: Their big mural devoted to Bosco and Irene DuBois, Queer Block cast members who graduated to being RuPaul’s Kingly Race girls. Also: Burgers. Grab dinner here. It’s good.
Mx. is Queer Bar’s signature event. Every Friday and Saturday, catch a large cast of local queens often performing with touring RuPaul’s Drag Race queens. Remember: Bring tips, and don’t just point the Ru girls.
