Thirsty Thursday with Miss Amber

The Flying Handbag's weekly Thursday night with resident drag host Miss Amber.

Thirsty Thursday is The Flying Handbag's weekly Thursday night, fronted by resident drag host Miss Amber.

Thursday is a busy night at the Handbag: Thirsty Thursday runs alongside the Take It or Leave It game show and karaoke, so there's plenty going on before the weekend proper.

Times: start times aren't published, so check with the bar before you go.

Price: no entry charge is published.

Where: The Flying Handbag, 44 Queen Street, the purpose-built LGBTQ+ bar at the heart of the strip. It is 18+, so bring ID.

Tip: Thursday is a good night to visit if you want a lively atmosphere without the full weekend crowds. Funny Girls also plays on Thursdays, and its show finishes in time to catch the end of the night on Queen Street.
