Sunday After Dark

Northalsted's official after-brunch party is exactly what Sunday afternoons should be — DJ Laura B spinning, go-go dancers keeping the energy up, and a crowd that knows how to transition from mimosas to cocktails without missing a beat. Cheap drinks ($3 Bud Lights, $4 wells until 4pm) and free pizza make it the neighborhood's easiest sell for a Sunday that doesn't end at dinner.

Every Sunday night at Hydrate, the party shifts into high gear after 10pm with a rotating mix of throwbacks, hip hop, and today's hottest hits. VJ George G keeps the energy moving, the dance floor packed, and the vibe exactly right for a late-night reset. No cover, $6 Bud Lights — it's the kind of reliable Sunday night that actually makes you want to stay out.

Mz Ruff 'N Stuff brings the heat every Monday night at Hydrate — a rotating lineup of fabulous queens and one iconic entertainer who knows how to keep the party going. Doors open at 8pm, show starts at 10:30pm. Five bucks to get in and start your week the right way.
