Drag Experiences invites guests to a $49 guided journey through Hell’s Kitchen’s iconic LGBTQ+ nightlife.

New York, NY – There’s no party like a drag party—especially in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen, where glitter, glamour, and New York City’s fiercest queens take center stage. NY Fabulous Drag Night Out, a nightlife bar crawl from Drag Experiences, invites guests on an unforgettable evening of high-energy performances, local nightlife, and insider stories from one of NYC’s most iconic LGBTQ+ neighborhoods.

Each tour begins at a laid-back Hell’s Kitchen dive bar where guests meet their host and fellow partygoers for a toast with a neighborhood favorite: a vodka soda with a splash of cranberry. From there, the group parades through the bustling streets, learning about the history and transformation of Hell’s Kitchen and snapping photos along the way.

Guests are then ushered into one of the neighborhood’s most legendary drag venues, where they’ll enjoy front-stage access to a drag show. With a mix of jaw-dropping choreography and top-tier drag talent—some of whom have graced the stage on RuPaul’s Drag Race—the experience offers more than just entertainment. It’s a celebration of queer culture, nightlife, and community.

The tour runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, lasts approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, and costs $49 per person. Every ticket includes a complimentary drink, expert local guide, drag show access, and the chance to meet the queens after the performance. The night wraps with a high-energy dance party alongside the local crowd. (Reservation Link)
