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.

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.

CAMP KINGSTON, KINGSTON

Kingston’s newest queer hangout welcomes fans of Drag Race to join them every Friday night to watch this week’s episode. Grab a cocktail and curl up in their comfy lounge and enjoy the spectacle!

THE CENTRAL, PEEKSKILL

Peekskill’s The Central, welcomes all to gather and enjoy RuPaul’s Drag Race on Friday evenings. Be sure to tell Skip at the bar that Big Gay Hudson Valley sent you.
