Alternating Wednesdays at 9 pm see Latina Tatiana Cholula spicing up our lives with Divina, and the drag kings Boiz of Austin showing the lads how its done, while Saturday’s Best Drag Show Ever is the ultimate party of queens competing for the title of Oilcan Harry’s Next Top Drag Model Supreme."

Reception 
In 2021, James Wong of Thrillist said, "Austin’s oldest gay bar is by no means over the hill. Oilcan Harry’s throws a party every night of the week, whether it’s karaoke, drag king or queen shows, friendly competitions, bingo, or something totally off the wall. A huge hit with students and a fun-loving mixed crowd, this is a great place to make new friends in town."
