Saturday Drag Brunch

12:15 PM

Rise's Saturday Drag Brunch is the Hell's Kitchen weekend ritual — two seatings at 12:15pm and 2:30pm, both packed with live drag performances, craft cocktails, and the kind of energy that turns a regular brunch into a full celebration. Good food, better drinks, and queens who know how to work a room.

Arcade Gaymer Afternoon

3:00 PM

Unspeakable Joy

4:00 PM

Honey Please

Lipstick & Vinyl — A Guilty Pleasures Cabaret Rock Revue

Saturday nights at Metropolitan get a vinyl-spinning makeover when DJ Reaubert and rotating guests take over happy hour and turn it into a proper living room party. No cover, good drinks, and the kind of neighborhood vibe that makes you actually want to stick around.

Lipstick & Vinyl is a cabaret rock revue that leans into the songs you love but would never admit to loving — think power ballads, one-hit wonders, and the kind of guilty pleasure anthems that demand a dramatic performance. Expect theatrical drag performers who understand that the best cabaret moments are when you're laughing, singing along, and genuinely moved all at once. It's the kind of show that makes you feel like you're in on the joke while also celebrating why these songs matter. Saturday at 3 Dollar Bill means a packed room, a killer sound system, and a crowd that's here for the spectacle and the heart of it all.
