In Los Angeles, there is no shortage of places to catch the hottest drag shows in town. While there are bars and restaurants to choose from around the city, West Hollywood is where it’s at. This neighborhood has one of the biggest and best LGBTQIA+ nightlife scenes. One night you’ll find yourself in Elizabeth Taylor’s favorite haunt, the next you’ll be rubbing shoulders with stars of RuPaul’s Drag Race!
At Drag Experiences, we delve right into the heart of WeHo as part of our Drag Experiences in LA, strutting our stuff from one bar to the next. It’s safe to say we know a thing or two about the local scene, so we’ve put together this guide on where to watch drag shows in LA. If you have any questions about our tours, don’t hesitate to contact us!
