| - Take a bowling alley, a bar, a pool hall, a dance floor, a video game room, throw it in a blender, and what do you get? Something really cool.
Top that off with drag queens that put the queens on "Drag Race" to shame, and what do you get? Something FAAAAAAAAAAAAAABULOUUUUUUUUUUUS!!!
Drink and Drag is a ton of fun. We went a few weeks back during happy hour, and the vibe is too fun. It's in the Neonopolis building so it's a little hard to find. First you gotta park, which is always the detriment of the downtown area. Find Heart Attack Grill, step over the bodies dying of cardiac arrest, and head up the escalator.
Once you're in, the bar/bowling alley (formerly Jillian's Bowling-a-Go-Go) is amazing. There's a very groovy mod/retro feel to it, and the lights give that feeling that any moment now someone's going to jump out and call you a "jive turkey."
The queens are fabulous, but more importantly, super friendly and with great service. And the big important thing (since I don't go amongst "my nation" that much) is that I didn't feel scrutinized every single second. Which is totally helpful, cuz that makes me sweat. And most guys don't hit on sweaters. Or guys that wear sweaters. Or sweaters who wear sweaters. You know what I mean. Point being... the straight guys who went with us were totally as comfortable there as the gay ones, so guys, if your friend wants to take you there, go... they're not taking you to auction you off!
Totally a five-star place if it wasn't for the usual parking nightmare near Fremont. Plus, I was totally into Insert Coin(s) until it got super-popular and almost impossible to get into past 11pm. I really hope the same thing doesn't happen here.
Definitely head on in and check it out. Relax, let your hair down. Then trade it out for some of their, cuz I swear, some of these beezies look better than real chicks.
