The Stache Bar

"This restaurant/queer space on Santa Monica Blvd. has fantastic programming throughout the week, including Battle Babies on Wednesdays and Trivia on Thursdays. But come weekends, it’s all about the Wig & Waffles drag brunch. Deal: $25 bottomless mimosas with the purchase of food. 90-minute limit until 4pm." - brant cox, nikko duren

"Despite being located in the center of the action on Santa Monica Blvd., walking into this restaurant/performance space feels like you've found a secret oasis. There’s a great front patio that never gets too crowded, bartenders who’ll look you in the eyes, and excellent queer programming throughout the week that includes bearded lady cabarets, Drag Race viewing parties, movie nights, and more. If you’re in the mood to day drink on the weekends, it’s all about the Wig & Waffles drag brunch with $29 bottomless mimosas and copious amounts of death drops. " - brant cox

"When: Tues-Fri, 12-7pm; Sat-Sun, 3-7pm The Deal: $5 Well Drinks; $8 House Cocktails;  $10 Martinis; $10 Bar Snacks There are tons of queer spaces in Weho where you can get a cheap drink around 5pm, but our favorite of the bunch is Stache. The restaurant/bar/performance space has fun programming throughout the week, including bearded lady cabarets, Drag Race viewing parties, and nightly DJs. If you’re looking for a weeknight patio party, drop by for Taco Tuesday and share a margarita pitcher while Dua Lipa blasts in the background." - nikko duren, garrett snyder, brant cox

"We frankly could put any bar in Boystown on this list (Rocco’s, Beaches, Hi, Tops, and Trunks, we see you), but for now, we’re going with Stache. The mostly outdoor restaurant/bar/performance space has fun programming throughout the week, including bearded lady cabarets, Drag Race viewing parties, and nightly DJs. If you’re in the mood to day-drink on the weekends, it’s all about the Wig & Waffles drag brunch. The menu includes everything from protein pancakes to breakfast burritos, plus bottomless mimosas." - brant cox

"Part-dance party and part-karaoke bar, The Stache gets rowdy on weekends. This mustache-themed spot doesn't have a designated dance floor per se, but show up after midnight on a Saturday, and people will have created one between the tables. If that sounds like a lot for you, stop by midweek, and you’ll find a more relaxed crowd there to play some board games, watch the Dodgers, and drink Moscow mules with house-made ginger beer. The same team also runs the attached drunchies-friendly restaurant Sideburns, so you'll never be too far from a bacon cheeseburger, Chicago-style hot dog, or a platter of gooey poutine." - brant cox, nikko duren
