Bar Babe of the Month: Hayden at Flaming Saddles

One of Flaming Saddles’ beloved bar dancing spirit servers, Hayden is the Cosmo Queen of Hells Kitchen!


Bar that I work at: Flaming Saddles

How long I’ve worked there: It will be 10 years this summer! Can’t believe it!

What are my shifts: Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, 8pm-4am

What makes this bar great: Flaming Saddles builds and maintains a positive, incredibly fun environment! From the dancing on the bar, talented and friendly staff and strong drinks, you are sure to have a good time any night of the week! And who knows, you may even run into a celebrity or two! 🙂

Best drink I make: I like to consider myself a Cosmo Queen, so I would definitely say a Cosmo! 

I love it when customers: TIP ME, BABY!

I hate it when customers: Try and get on the bar….

Craziest thing I’ve seen here: Oooof, this list could be very long. But I would have to say a woman taking out her used tampon and slapping it on the bar was pretty wild… Needless to say, she was quickly escorted out.

My hometown: Fort Worth, Texas! 

Stuff I do when I’m not bartending: I very much enjoy working out on my days off, seeing shows, meeting up with friends for drinks, exploring all that NYC has to offer!

Single or Taken: Happily taken with my man of 10 years! Taurean Everett (go check him out in Death Becomes Her on Broadway!)

Who/what turns me on: Confidence! Intelligence, great sense of style, someone who takes care of their mind and body. And you gotta be a good kisser! 😉

Favorite music: I’m definitely a pop music girly but I truly enjoy a pretty wide range of music! Obviously Bad Bunny and Olivia Dean have me in a chokehold at the moment. 

Favorite movie: Quintessentially gay — The Wizard of Oz

Favorite drag queen: OMG, no chance I can name just one! Bootsie LeFaris, Jan Sport, Rosé, Kizha Carr, Lita Desire, Izzy Uncut, Skye Walker, Brenda Dharling, Jada Valenciaga to name just a few….

Drag Name: Regina Gorg

Favorite gogo boy: My boy Gabrièl Reyes, HI BB

Favorite DJ: My diva Jon Ali 

Other stuff you need to know about me: Well when you come in to see me and buy me a shot, you can ask me then!
