Queens on King – A Gay Pride All The Time Pop Up

Queens on King, a Gay Pride All the Time Pop Up brings to you a celebration of joy, strength and fearlessness to be your true self!

We have one hell of a line-up for the night starting with Queerbomb Burlesque, followed by Columbus tastemaker DJ Pastel, and ending with Karaoke hosted by fellow Queen Anaslayisa!  Nina West will be performing in our Music Hall right next door… so who knows if she’ll stop by this family affair! We will be giving away a free pair of tickets to her sold out show on Wednesday, November 6th, raffling some prizes for the Nina West Foundation, and of course there will be a glitter station for everybody to turn up their Queen so come dressed in your best drag!

Cocktails will be specially curated for this event by the I Like It Like That team and $2 of every cocktail purchased will go to the Nina West Foundation.  We will have Pink Flamingos inspired decor not to be missed! And the entire night will be captured by the Emma Parker Photography team!

We love being a space for the queer community and are very excited to share our venue with all of you! Come join us in our rainbow rooms and be proud of who you are and how far you’ve come!
