TGIF: Friday Afternoon Show Tunes

Musical Monday Show Tunes night takes on a special anniversary glow as Sidetrack celebrates three decades of Jonathan Larson's revolutionary musical. Expect the songs that defined a generation, a room full of people who know every word, and the kind of communal sing-along energy that only happens when a show means this much to this community.

RENT's 30th anniversary lands on Pride month's opening night, and Sidetrack is marking it with the real deal — Anthony Rapp, an original cast member, performing and sticking around for a meet-and-greet. The whole night is RENT sing-alongs woven through Musical Monday's usual Show Tunes rotation, running 8pm-2am. Doors open at 3pm, no cover charge.

Real stories from real people — OUTspoken is a monthly storytelling night where LGBTQ+ folks share what's on their minds and in their hearts. First Tuesday of every month at 7pm, it's the kind of intimate, honest gathering that reminds you why listening matters. Come for the stories, stay for the community.

Tuesday night trivia hosted by Stew, followed by a run of pop favorite music videos that keeps the energy going until 2am. It's the kind of reliable midweek hangout where regulars show up for the questions, the crowd, and the seamless transition into late-night dancing.

First Wednesday of every month, Sidetrack transforms into a full Taylor Swift experience — drag performers channeling different eras, a dance floor ready for every era's biggest hits, and an open mic where you can get on stage and show off your best Taylor for prizes. Nine to two means there's time to live for it all.

A night devoted entirely to Taylor Swift at Sidetrack — expect the full spectrum of her catalog across multiple dance floors, video walls, and a crowd that knows every lyric. From her folk era deep cuts to her biggest pop anthems, this is what happens when a legendary video bar leans into a cultural moment with serious commitment.
