More infoPony Room opened in late June 2026 at 555 Gore Ave, and it is a restaurant, a bar and a stage inside one 150 seat room. The people behind The Birdhouse, the queer music and arts space, built it for nights when the entertainment is not optional. Drag shows run alongside the food, the cocktails lean funky, and the schedule keeps moving, which is the whole point. Look up who is performing first, then decide what kind of evening you want.
Check the Pony Room schedule before anything else, because a drag night and a night without one are two different evenings. Book the table with sightlines to the stage rather than the quiet corner, which feels smart right up until the show starts. Arrive an hour ahead so the food lands before the performance and the cocktails, which run to the funky end, are not competing with a queen mid number. Bring cash for tipping the performers.
