Make Ugly Duckling your official Friday night destination this winter. We are hosting the ultimate RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 18 Viewing Party every single week for the entire 14-episode run!

Hosted by the fabulous Letta Dicken, this isn't just a watch party—it’s a weekly community event. Skip the chaos of downtown and come to the West End for a night of shade, laughter, and killer food.

What to expect every Friday:

The Show: We screen every new episode live at 8:00 PM.

The Sips: Weekly drink specials like our "Duckarita" and Espresso Martinis.

The Eats: Full dinner service available all night—smash burgers, haute-dogs, and late-night snacks.

The Vibe: No cover, no attitude, just a great start to your weekend.

Whether you follow every queen or just want a fun place to socialize, everyone is welcome.

Reservations are highly recommended every week!
