Fridays Open Call

Late-night DJ set at ANIMAL — no cover charge, open until 4AM. Catch Rahafael spinning on a Sunday night when the bar is at its best.

Skye Walker and Lagoona Bloo take over Hardware on Sunday nights with a show that's equal parts fierce and fun. DJ Jon Ali keeps the energy high while these two queens command the stage — expect sharp performances, a crowd that's here for a good time, and the kind of Sunday night energy that makes you forget it's a school night.

Spunk is Pieces Bar's signature Sunday night showcase — a rotating lineup of drag performers, a packed dance floor, and the kind of crowd that knows how to have a genuinely good time. Strong drinks, fierce performances, and high energy make this West Village institution the neighborhood's most reliable reason to show up on a Sunday evening.

Sunday nights belong to the service industry crew and their friends — the people who spend their week making everyone else's night happen. Shift Drink is Metropolitan's laid-back hospitality hangout with games, cheap drink specials ($7 Bud Light & well shots, $5 selected premium drafts, $4 Fireball, $1 off top shelf), and zero pretension. No cover, no judgment, just a room full of people who get it.

Two of the city's best DJs behind the decks for a late-night Sunday session at the Eagle. Sam Gee and Bobby Duron know how to work a leather bar crowd — expect solid house, deep cuts, and a packed dance floor from 10pm until 4am. Twenty dollar cash cover gets you in.

Every Sunday at 10:30pm, Rise Bar becomes the place to be—hosted by the legendary Marti Gould Cummings and Chicky Gorgina, with DJ Nesto keeping the energy infectious. It's the kind of weekly ritual that builds a real crew: the same faces, the same energy, the same commitment to having an absolutely ridiculous good time. If you're looking for a Sunday night that actually feels worth staying up for, this is it.
