Rapture Cafe Bar is a popular gay bar and club in Quezon City that hosts regular drag shows and performances from hot go-go boys.
The Queens are super fun and talented, the food and drinks are great and reasonably-priced, and the staff are friendly. Do not that Rapture is a favorite after-work hangout of local gays and their friends, so it can get crowded. It's also not the biggest bar, so it fills up fast, especially on weekends.
