Charlie Horse @ The Cinch
1723 Polk Street (bet. Clay & Washington)
10 PM, show at midnight
A little further up the street you can crawl to this hot mess. It beat out Trannyshack last year for best drag show, and it’s at a
bar that is sort of country-western themed but also has a ceiling
covered in colored in those multicolored Mexican paper flags. The drag performances tend toward the rock end of the spectrum and can be pretty hit or miss, but aren’t they all?

Last Sunday of the month, 7PM – 2AM

non-BnT booze fest Manhattan needs more of. …read more

wouldn’t catch us dead at this meth-n-G faux-fetish fest, but if you
like your music monotonously bumpin and your men buff and totally
cracked out of their minds, this is the place! And they’re trying to
keep it from being dominated by the middle aged circuit set by giving a
