Omega is a well hidden LGBTQ bar in DC. Formerly known as the Fraternity House, this bar is off the beaten path for many. I’ll be honest…I rarely go there. I just don’t get to western Dupont that often.
However, I did last night for the amateur drag queen competition to see a friend, Lady Gabanna/Grandma Wrinkles, perform in her very first show. The performances ranged from the guy not in drag wearing a prison jumpsuit to Mary Poppins and her spoonful of sugar. Grandma Wrinkles came in second and all rejoiced.
Yet throughout the whole performance, I got this feeling that this is not a bar that the RWDC would go to….even if a friend was performing. Not sure if it is because Omega isn’t “hip/cool” like Town or Halo, or if it is just off the beaten path, or if they’d just be shocked, but the vibe was still there.
I hope they do go to the amateur drag competition and stay for the whole thing. In the meantime, I wonder what other secret treasures they are missing in DC simply because they aren’t for MTV’s current viewing audience.

Ha! That place is such a dump. My friends and I go there when we’re in the mood for something “different” – aka when we get tired of JRs, Cobalt, Halo, Town, Nellie’s, etc. Omege serves as a good appetizer to Apex’s main entree just down the alleyway.
DC is the birthplace of GoGo music. Think they will go check that out? Doubt it!!
@RK Bootsy would blow their minds
