    This place is my number one recommendation for all Drag enthusiasts coming to Bangkok! And heck, even if you've never seen a Drag show before...this place is a great start! While the bar is very small and can get very crowded (especially on weekends) it is 100% worth it! drinks are priced normally and very tasty, but of course, the highlights are the daily Drag shows. and i do mean shows in plural. There are shows throughout the entire night, with breaktime in between where you can dance, drink, or if you're lucky catch one of the queens outside for a photo. They have a large cast of performers, which shuffles around each night. I went there 5 nights in a row, it never got boring. Every performance is so different, but they're all incredibly entertaining. Miss Srimala guides you through the evening in English, so no worries if u don't speak Thai. Tipping is, like at every Drag show, greatly appreciated but not mandatory. Nonetheless, please tipp the performers. Not only do they deserve it, but tipping will often give you some really cool interactions with the Queens too. 10/10 Drag bar, will definitely be coming back if i make it back to Bangkok!

    The most amazing place we have ever been 💅🏻The queens are amazing, the show starts at 10:30. Pay attention and tip the queens😍😍❤️❤️ the bar staff are so kind and pay attention to everyone (Knowing what you wanna have to drink)! After spending a whole night in the club it’s a huge thing comparing to the customer service in Europe! It doesn’t matter if you’re gay or straight, there is always a place for everyone. Gigi, Gisele, naughty girl are the queens in the house!! Make sure to get in early on the weekends, since the bar gets really crowded! We had a great time! Can’t wait to visit again

    Oh my God (OMG!!!!!)!!!! IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME for me. Being hearing about drag shows and I finally saw one and I went back for the second time. Though it wasn't a large bar considering the fact that there was a show every night but if you're able to catch a good position to see the drags, you are good! The bar men were really nice and persuaded us to keep buying drinks in the sexiest of ways. The service was very time and the drag Queens gave me one of the best evenings of my life. I got it on camera reliving the moment everyday since I visited! Well done guys!!!

    Every time I come here I love this place and I keep forgetting to try to review, so I thought I’d write one now! I love the drag show. These guys are amazing like they really put their heart and soul into when they perform the service here is great. It’s a bit forced because they want you to buy a beer while you’re standing there and watching his show but overall it’s a great environment. It’s so much fun of been here many many times, many different occasions ! If you’re in Bangkok, you must check this place out I do have other photos last night I only captured one! OK Follow Fauzia for adventures around Bangkok and of course Bangkok and beyond follow her on Instagram, 💕💕💕💕 Facebook, and YouTube videos. We have other videos on YouTube.💋💋💋💋💋🙏🏼

    A gorgeous array of drag Queen performances, each different from the last. It was fab to be among such a diverse crowd too, as I was worried it would only be men there. Drinks are reasonably priced and very strong! The staff are lovely and friendly.

    One of the best bars i visited in Bangkok. The energy was amazing and the queens slayed! The show was so much fun and I highly recommend going. Try to go early on the weekend to get a seat because it fills up fast!

    Ooh child it’s one of the top two best drag houses in Bangkok, in my opinion. Most of the performers are drag race girls and the atmosphere is so lively and happy!

    What a night!! This was my first time here as it had been recommended by some friends and it didn't disappoint. The performers are outstanding. Super professional and great fun! It's an intimate venue where you will be made feel at home, especially by the excellent host (I forget her name! The J.Lo performer). The floor staff and bar staff work really hard. The good service was appreciated. I WILL be back!

    Lots of fun, really enjoyed the performances by the talented queens. The performances start from 9.30 with 15-minute breaks between sets. The place was packed on a Saturday, I suggest heading there before 9pm to grab a seat. Highly recommended for RPDR fans and anyone in Bangkok looking for some good entertainment!

    This place is a hidden gem and so incredibly fun. The DQ performers are talented and beautiful and the vibe is welcoming to everyone. No cover, no drink minimum, friendly staff and a rocking DJ makes this establishment a winner. This was definitely the highlight of our 8 day sightseeing trip to Thailand. Take the bf, gf, wife of hubby and you’ll have a blast.

    Great queens and fun energy. They're open now with a show every night. Shows are in English, quite a lot of foreigners in the crowd but some locals too. Packed at midnight on Friday until the last show finished around 1am (Google's hours seem to be wrong).

    Never fails to disappoint. The artists put 100% and more into their performances. This is not a typical show where they just lip sync. They are funny, interact with the audience and sometimes even sing live! Drink prices are reasonable as you get the show included. It's good to Tipp the artists where possible! A great bar and a fantastic night out!

    Amazing place! Came here three nights in a row during our visit to Bangkok. Great friendly crowd. Met a lot of friends there. Great performances too. Super interactive with everyone before and after the show. Definitely the place to go if you want a wholesome (maybe also a bit good chaotic) fun night out.

    The best drag show in town! If you are in Bangkok this is the Place you wan to visit. It can get very crowded but people go in and out and you always find a moment and go In. No entrance fee but you need to order at least 2 drinks wich is fine. Several shows are going on. Simone is the best, just loved her. A must see in Bangkok !

    The new and improved The Stranger Bar has moved to the end of the alley, four times bigger, with more seating and lounge area, and a larger bar. The best drag show in Silom for 400 THB entrance that includes two drinks. And everyone is welcome! Not surprisingly, the place was filled. But, they only accept cash or Prompt Pay at the door. Unfortunately, prompt pay (QR code) failed so I either had to wait 30 mins for it to reset or pay cash. Plus, the bar only accepts cash. Well worth a visit for tourists and locals.

    First time here seeing drag show. The show is fabulous, big applause to those queens. The cocktail is strong and service is tip top. Wasn’t expect the there are 3 round of shows. I would recommend to come have fun. Pay per entry with 2 drinks. Ready some tips for the queens.

    My first ever drag show bar/club! I can definitely say that i thoroughly enjoyed the night, the performance was spectacular and the atmosphere was on point and the people were amazing ! Would highly recommend this place amongst the rest on the same street! P.S Entrance fee is 400 baht but it includes 2 drinks per person

  • 5/5 Truc L. 3 months ago on Google • 25 reviews New
    Awesome performance by the all the beauty kweens of Thailand. Staff are super friendly. You are always welcome here regardless of being alone or with your friends. Everyone is so sweet and having a good time. The kweens do a good job in entertaining with the audience in a fun, apologetic way (don’t take that seriously lol). The performance is free so please order drinks or give the kweens tips to support them

    (Translated by Google) The best bar in Bangkok. Small but excellent cocktail and above all the drag show is hilarious and professional. All the English Queen dinners and the show is out of the clichés of the world of drag queens. The show starts at 11 PM. On Saturday it is better to arrive earlier or avoid because there are too many people. Show every night of the week. (Original) Il bar migliore di Bangkok. Piccolino ma ottimo cocktail e soprattutto lo spettacolo delle drag è esilarante e professionale. Tutte le queen pranzo inglese e lo show è fuori dai cliché del mondo delle drag queens. Lo show inizia alle 23. Di sabato meglio arrivare prima oppure evitare perché c’è troppa gente. Spettacolo tutte le sere della settimana.
