Mayhem Saturdays

Thursday nights in the Napoleon Room at Club Café belong to Andy Lantz and classically trained vocalist Frankie Campofelice, who deliver a smooth blend of jazz standards, Broadway hits, and pop favorites. Arrive early for a full sit-down dinner and craft cocktails from your table, or just come for the music and the open mic that keeps the room alive. Never a cover, always an open mic if you're feeling it—tables fill up fast, so reserve ahead.

Grab the mic every Thursday night at Dani's Queer Bar for No Cover Karaoke — no cover charge, no judgment, just you and a room full of people ready to cheer you on. From 10pm to 2am, belt out your favorite anthem, discover a new go-to song, or just soak in the energy of a crowd that genuinely loves karaoke night. Hosted by Miss Jade Rock, it's a weekly ritual that's become the neighborhood's most reliably fun excuse to sing your heart out, solo or with your crew.

Club Café's weekly Friday night tradition — dinner first, then straight to the dance floor. Resident DJs spin pop, R&B, hip-hop, and throwbacks until 2 AM, packing the South End's longtime LGBTQ+ nightlife staple (open since 1983) with a crowd that knows how to have a good time. $15 cover after 10 PM, 21+.

Weekend drag brunch at Dani's Queer Bar, Boston's dedicated queer bar — rotating drag performers, no cover charge, and two seatings (11:30am and 1:30pm) every Saturday and Sunday. Expect great food, strong drinks, and a room full of community members ready to celebrate. A neighborhood tradition that actually makes getting up early worth it.

Trans artists and creatives, this afternoon at Ula Cafe in Boston's Amory Street area is for you. It's a call for trans voices, marking Transgender Awareness Month and Transgender Day of Remembrance with an open mic celebrating trans art, lives, history and legacy. Bring a piece to share or come to listen, and RSVP through the link on the event page.

Club Café's weekly Saturday night house party — the South End's go-to spot to dance until close. A rotating lineup of DJs (including DJ Brian Derrick, DJ AGA, DJ Darrin Friedman, and DJ Tyler James) spins high-energy house music and heavy basslines for a packed dance floor. Doors open at 10 PM; expect free or discounted entry before 10 PM and a cover charge after. Grab dinner and drinks beforehand to skip the line and secure your spot on the dance floor.
