The popular LGBTQ+ reality show RuPaul’s Drag Race features a group of talented drag queens competing in challenges to impress host RuPaul, the world's most famous drag queen, for the chance to win a cash prize along with a crown and the title of America's Next Drag Superstar. Each episode consists of a main challenge, typically a dance, comedy, or fashion design task — or sometimes all 3.
The queens then participate in a themed runway show, where one is declared the winner of that week, while two others are up for elimination. The bottom two must compete with a lip-sync for their lives to stay on the show. The new Season 17 officially premiered on January 4th and will continue to air every Friday at 8PM until April 2025.
R House is located at 2727 NW 2nd Avenue in Wynwood. The restaurant is open for dinner Wednesday through Saturday. Happy Hour is available Wednesday through Friday 4PM-7PM. R Chateau dinner party is offered Saturday nights from 8PM. Drag Brunch is offered at 11:30AM and 2:30PM on Saturdays and Sundays.
