In a series of text messages exchanged between Lopez and DJ/producer Mitch Ferrino, the bar manager demanded that a “beautiful man” should be added to the promotional material and “the drag need to be small”.įerrino replied to Lopez saying that “those men are beautiful,” referring to the two men of colour who were included on the flyer. The night in question was actually drag queen Honey Davenport’s show Manster.
However, the bar has come under fire for racism after its former bar manager Italo Lopez claimed that one of their flyers looked like it was promoting a “black night” which would “not good for the business”. If you find yourself on a gay bar crawl through New York City, chances are you’ll end up at The Monster Bar at one point in the evening.
