Oral Exam Trivia

Monday nights at Rockbar belong to the smart mouths and the chaos—Oral Exam Trivia is exactly the kind of loud, fun trivia night where you're encouraged to yell answers, flirt with the competition, and fight for a $50 bar tab. Hosted by Jason Romas, it's got the questionably educational energy that's made Mondays here reliably good. Bad behavior expected, drinks encouraged.

Q4Q

A high-energy drag spectacle where the queens take center stage in full theatrical glory. Neon-soaked, unapologetically fierce, and built for a crowd that knows how to celebrate drag culture at its most electrifying. This is drag as pure visual and performance art — expect costume, attitude, and a room that's ready to lose it.

Furius Bingo

Monday nights at Boxers mean bingo with Furina Dior and poker with Butch on the mezzanine — two games, two vibes, one reliably fun evening. Happy Hour runs until 9PM, so grab a drink and settle in for the kind of midweek reset that actually makes Mondays worth showing up for.

Musical Mondays

EJ Garlands Presents: Songs on 6

Hell's Kitchen's most reliable Monday night—a rotating lineup of powerhouse drag performers (Paige Turner, Sutton Lee Seymour, Cacophony Daniels, and Evita Loca) taking the stage with Broadway polish and pure theater energy. Videos and DJ Gingy set the mood starting at 7pm, then the full show kicks off at 8:30. This is the kind of high-energy weekly tradition that actually makes you look forward to Mondays, with happy hour specials before 9pm and bar bites to fuel the night.
