Nova scotia gay bar

By Kaija Jussinoja. Jasleen found a drag mother in local queen Lucky Charmsand eventually started tearing up the stage at spots like Lot Six and Good Robot. So I think in that way they can understand more, the drag art. The Gottingen Street space briefly existed as a non-queer nightclub called The Den from spring to spring The space has already hosted a bunch of drag shows, one of which Jasleen performed in.

Indulge, those connections are being remade. It feels like there's been a door that was closed and is opening again. It doesn't feel like you're at home.

And you know, it's fabulous to know that there are other welcoming spaces around the city and that's huge, but to have a uniquely queer space is something very special. The drag-focused performance space is an extension of the existing bar and will feature a big stage, dressing rooms and tons of seating.

If you remember Menz, Indulge will be familiar, but a bit different, including new renovations and ones that bar during The Den era. So they've really been great with getting our input on what we want the shows to look like, what we expect of the space, which we have been so appreciative about because they're not just opening a space to make, you know, money off of drag performers.

Like Station, they were a Menz regular before the pandemic. While Diamanti appreciates all the bars and restaurants in Halifax who host drag shows, performing in non-queer spaces always left them on-edge. I don't do it as often.
