The birthplace of legends, the proving ground of rising stars, and the loudest Monday night in Manhattan.
For over a decade, Drag Wars has transformed Pieces Bar into a high-voltage battleground where new performers compete, audiences decide their fate, and future superstars are born under the neon lights.
This is where Sasha Velour first electrified a crowd,
where Aquaria sharpened her claws,
where Monet X Change, Bob the Drag Queen, Jax, Jasmine Kennedie, DD Fuego, Xunami Muse, Lemon, Amanda Tori Meating -- and so many more -- battled, bled, and bloomed in front of NYC's fiercest queer audience.
If you've ever wondered where NYC drag really happens...
you're standing at the gate.
You don't just watch the show, you decide it.
Pieces Bar, 8 Christopher Street - steps from Stonewall, in the beating heart of queer history.
It's not a tagline -- it's a fact. Drag Wars alumni have taken over RuPaul's Drag Race and the world.
The perfect Monday night storm: performers hungry to prove themselves + a packed bar + Shequida's roasting commentary + a crowd ready to scream.
Perfect for locals, tourists, superfans, and anyone looking for an unforgettable NYC night.
Are You Ready?
The lights.
The sweat.
The screams.
The crown.
This is Drag Wars.
Head to the DJ booth at 8PM on Monday to get checked in. First come, first serve.
