As season 16 of RuPaul’s Drag Race premieres this January 5, 2024 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 and haunts where you can gather with your queer fam for a good ol’ fashioned Friday night viewing party.
