RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 8 Viewing Party

Thursday nights at Rise Bar belong to Zetta Jones, hosting a drag-and-comedy show that thrives on unpredictability — boys, drama, looks, and laughs, with DJ Steve Sidewalk keeping the energy moving all night. Show starts at 10:30pm.

Every Thursday night at Rise, Cut Throat Karaoke turns the bar into a high-stakes sing-off hosted by Emily McNamara with DJ TK behind the decks. Singing starts at 10:30pm and the vibe is part performance, part competition — you're here to shine, and the crowd will absolutely let you know if you do. It's the kind of weekly tradition that keeps people coming back: a packed room of people who can actually sing, a host who keeps things sharp and fun, and enough adrenaline to make a Thursday night feel like an event.

Brolesque: Trick or Tease is a Halloween-night burlesque show at Balcon Salon in Hell's Kitchen, New York City, with a spooky gothic stage and a masked cast of dancers. Expect strutting, striped-suit showmanship and plenty of skin under the moonlight. Doors open at 11pm, DJ Senobyte spins after the show, and the bar stays open for drinks.

Thursday nights at Industry Bar belong to Queen, the drag showcase hosted by the legendary Brenda Dharling with DJ Xavier Mazara spinning the soundtrack. A rotating cast of fierce performers—including Jada Valenciaga, Pattaya Hart, Fifi Dubois, Inita D, Chelsea Piers, and Hibiscus—bring the artistry and energy each week. Expect polished performances, a packed dance floor, and the kind of night that makes Hell's Kitchen's Industry Bar the city's most reliable queer nightlife destination.

Miranda del Sol, Musas, Aricel Dulce and Fiorella take over C'mon Everybody on Franklin Avenue for a 21+ night of sounds in Brooklyn. Grab a booth, order something with a name like Lavender Menace, and let the music take it from there. Presented by C'mon Everybody, it's a neighborhood night built for dancing and discovering new talent.

A weekly drop-in space for LGBTQ+ youth ages 13-18 at the LGBT Network Queens LGBT Center in Astoria.

Whether it's a seasonal celebration, Pride parade sign-making, or a relaxed hangout, this is a safe, affirming community where you can be yourself with no pressure and no agenda. Drop in anytime between 4pm and 6pm.
