Florida vs. Miami drag bar
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration filed a state complaint against Miami’s R House on Tuesday that says the Wynwood bar’s weekend Drag Show Brunches expose minors to “sexually explicit drag shows.” R House has 21 days to respond. It could lose its liquor license if judged to be in violation of local laws and codes.

About R House
R House, 2727 NW Second Ave. in Wynwood, is different than most venues that host drag shows. Unlike LGBTQ bars, R House is primarily a restaurant that serves Latin-inspired food. Its popularity among Miami locals and tourists has skyrocketed because of its weekend drag brunches.
The brunches, which showcase performances by several drag artists and a DJ, have become so popular that reservations are booked weeks in advance.
Like most restaurants, there is no age-requirement to sit at a table, although customers are asked to show their IDs when they order alcoholic drinks.
