Jim Rice Broadway Hump Day

Wednesday nights in the Napoleon Room belong to showtune lovers, rising stars, and anyone who just wants to belt out a Broadway number. Brian Patton leads the piano and vocals for a no-cover open mic where professionals and aspiring singers take turns. Twenty years of performing throughout the Northeast and NYC means he knows how to keep the room warm and the energy high. Free to get in, no pressure to perform — just show up and enjoy the people who do.

Grab the mic and let loose every Wednesday night at Club Café, Boston's beloved neighborhood bar and performance venue. Whether you're a seasoned karaoke regular belting out power ballads or a first-timer stepping up to the stage, the crowd is supportive, the drinks are cheap, and the energy is unbeatable. It's the perfect midweek pick-me-up — come cheer on friends, discover your inner diva, and celebrate a room full of people who know how to have a good time.

Thursday nights in the Napoleon Room belong to Andy Lantz and classically trained vocalist Frankie Campofelice, who trade in smooth jazz standards, Broadway hits, and pop favorites from the 20s through the 60s. 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 follows. No cover, tables fill up fast.

Summer-themed open mic night in the Napoleon Room featuring headliner Gordon Michaels, a powerhouse baritone with a reputation for smooth delivery across Broadway, jazz, blues, R&B, and gospel. Open-mic singers are invited to prepare a song with a summer theme. No cover charge, 7pm-10pm.

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+.

Katie Connor brings a distinctive mix of standards, Broadway, and pop to the Napoleon Room—a voice often compared to Patsy Cline and Judy Garland, with a smooth vibrato that recalls 1950s recording artists. The night is framed as an open mic, so there's room for the room itself to shine. No cover, doors at 7pm.
