If you stop to think about it, there are not many bars around town that capitalize on theme nights. One bar that does go out of its way to create a series of thematic outings is OHM Ultra Lounge, located at the corner of Main Street and Allen Street. A friend of mine semi-regularly promotes bashes at OHM that coincide with high profile birthdays and holidays.
Besides the sensational Pride or rave-inspired events and parties, OHM manages to pull some far-out rabbits out of the hat. In the past, the bar has sponsored Kilt Night, Beach Night with the Buffalo Bears, Superhero Night, Lumbersexual Night (flannel and union suits), Millennium Dance Parties, and the list goes on an on.
While OHM might not be considered a strictly alternative club, the establishment is certainly open to a number of alt-natured outings. Whether it’s the Imperial Court of Buffalo hosting a New Year’s Eve bash, or Girls on Top Entertainment hosting a pajama party, there’s no telling what is coming up next until it appears on the lounge’s Facebook page.
Which brings me to the return of a popular monthly drag king night, hosted by Jayme Coxx (Kevin V Wagner), scheduled to run every third Saturday of the month. Join Jayme and her crew for a night out on the town, filled with plenty of camp and cabaret for everyone to enjoy.
