Ever wondered what a night of Dolly Parton impersonation, karaoke, and drag queen DJs in Liverpool would feel like? For those who enjoy lively, affordable evenings with a twist of camp and fun, the Dolly Parton Tribute Night at The Benidorm Bar offers a unique experience.

Three things we love about this experience: the energetic Dolly tribute performances, the lively drag DJ sets, and the welcoming atmosphere for the LGBTQ+ community and hens alike. The bar’s themed environment makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a mini Benidorm resort, packed with pop, sparkle, and fun. The only hurdle?
