It’s the first week back from break and we couldn’t be any happier the weekend has arrived.
The drag scene has been receiving more and more support by the community. One local bar supports the drag community by hosting a bingo night.
Docs’s Pad is your average downtown restaurant. It offers a juicy stacked burger with your favorite beer (if you’re of legal age, of course), it broadcasts your favorite sports teams every night and now offers a weekly bingo night dedicated to the drag queen community. Hosted by Miss Karress Ann Slaughter, participants can win prizes, enjoy specials on the menu and a new drink special is offered every time “O-69” is called out.
Doc’s Pad is located at 710 Willamette St., and Bingo night begins every Thursday night at 9 p.m.
