"I'm hearing Hamburger Mary’s is coming to Oak Lawn with its signature dive-y vibes, burgers, and drag-hosted events; it will mark a grand opening week June 1–5 to coincide with Pride Week, with Danny Lee Cabrera (aka “Liquor Mini”) stepping in to host nightly events. A press release promises regular programming including Dining with the Divas drag shows, charity HamBingo Mary’s (bingo), MaryOke-Karaoke, and trivia nights. The restaurant will be open Wednesday–Sunday from 11 a.m. to midnight and will include drag brunch. Its opening is happening amid the Texas legislature filing the largest slate of anti-trans bills in the session — including Senate Bill 12, which targets certain performances — a political context noted by the Human Rights Campaign's condemnation." - Courtney E.
