A Hell’s Kitchen gay bar for a night built around the current show or dance floor.
Industry puts drag performance and dancing at the centre of a Hell’s Kitchen night. Its weekly programme pairs hosted shows with DJ-led evenings, so the choice of night shapes the experience as much as the room itself.
Make it the evening’s main stop if you are coming for a performer. Shows start later than the bar opens, leaving time for a drink beforehand.
