Cher-E-Oke

One of Round-Up Saloon's biggest dance competitions of the year — two categories (Strictly and Jack & Jill), serious prize money, and custom buckles for the top finishers. This is the preliminary round on June 1st; the mini prelim and finale happen June 12th. Two grand in cash and prizes total. Free cover, free parking, hosted by Mike McKinney. 21+.

Houston's most reliably entertaining Tuesday night — amateur male dancers hitting the stage alongside drag performances in a room that knows how to have a good time. New to performing? Show up by 9PM with your valid 21+ ID and talk to the emcee about getting stage time. This is where the energy lives on a weeknight.

Houston's rowdiest midweek night — amateur male dancers, rotating drag performers, and a crowd that knows how to have a good time. New to the stage? Show up by 9PM Tuesday through Sunday with your valid 21+ ID, catch the emcee, and audition. This is where the energy never stops.

A $20 wine walk through local vendors and special stops, then back to Round-Up for the full evening — free line dance lessons at 7pm, karaoke in the front parlor at 8pm, and the Saloon Girls Show with Lip Sync Battle at 11pm. Raffle prizes and giveaways at 9:15pm, with proceeds supporting the safety and beautification of the Strip on Cedar Springs.

Thursday nights at Tony's Corner Pocket belong to the amateurs—a mix of first-timers and regulars taking the stage for the strip contest, backed by live drag performances and a crowd that shows up to have a genuinely good time. New dancers welcome; just bring your valid 21+ ID and talk to the emcee by 9PM to get in the rotation.

Gather with the drag-obsessed for Season 18's premiere — big screen, full bar, and a room that knows how to react when the runway hits. CRUSH brings the energy these moments deserve, with craft cocktails and the kind of crowd that's here for every lip sync, every elimination, and every wig snatch.
