K-Road came alive on Saturday, the 6th of September, as G.A.Y Bar once again proved why it’s one of the city’s most unapologetically queer playgrounds. The dancefloor pulsed under the glow of neon, sequins caught the light like fireworks, and Auckland’s rainbow whānau turned up in full force to serve looks, laughter, and late-night joy.
From drag excellence on stage to sweaty hugs on the dancefloor, there was no shortage of moments reminding us that G.A.Y isn’t just a bar—it’s a sanctuary. It’s where first-time club-goers and seasoned K-Road creatures cross paths, where Britney blends into Beyoncé without missing a beat, and where every messy lipstick-smudged grin tells a story worth remembering.
