Local Places to Watch the New Season of RuPaul’s Drag Race

Published On: January 4th, 2023

As season 15 of the blockbuster drag queen competition show premieres this January on MTV (Friday nights @ 8p EST), it has become tradition in queer communities across the country to come together, watch together, and then spill the tea together.

The Hudson Valley is no exception. Here are the local bars where you can gather with your queer fam for a good ol’ fashioned Friday night viewing party.

THE ROOSEVELT BAR, BEACON

Hostess Andrama will emcee the evening, providing commentary while joined by a new weekly special guest. Performances to follow the show.

TBDq POP-UP QUEER BAR @ PAKT, KINGSTON

Hudson Valley Queer Conspiracy moves their TBDq pop-up queer bar to a new night. Drop by early for a drink or bite to eat before the show.

Cheers to the so many of you that joined us this afternoon in Shokan for the launch of the new Gay Bar by @fruitionchocolate and @biggayhudsonvalley - what a great crowd and an incredible kick off that was!

A portion of each Gay Bar sold supports local New York-based LGBTQ+ organizations and it also promotes the Hudson Valley as a queer destination nationwide - complete with a Hudson Valley map inside.

If you missed today’s event,
you can order your very own Gay Bars online on the @fruitionchocolate website, in their Shokan retail store, or at a wide array of retail partners starting very soon!

Now is the time to get this Gay Bar into your retail store in advance of Pride season.

Next weekend this Gay Bar
takes the stage at the @craftchocolateexperience in San Francisco and will be available from coast to coast.

DM us for wholesale details in advance of Pride season.
