Gag

A monthly dance night where gender expression is celebrated and glitter is mandatory. Rify Royalty brings rotating guest performances and hosts to the floor — think bearded queens, gender-fluid dancers, and everyone in between ready to have a genuinely good time. Dress however feels right, show up however you want, and dance like nobody's watching.

DJ JK runs the full spectrum—pop, house, hip-hop, throwbacks, whatever moves the floor—while Miz Jade, the Queen of Shade herself, brings the pop-up performances and the attitude. No cover, late-night energy, exactly what Friday nights at Metropolitan should be.

Every month, DJ Manila Ice spins a different pop icon — Madonna, Robyn, Grace Jones, Kylie, Britney, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Janet, Carly, Ariana, and more. Each themed night brings guest performers and hosts who celebrate that artist's legacy. It's the kind of dance floor moment that only happens when you've got the right DJ, the right crowd, and a shared obsession with pop perfection. No cover, so there's zero reason not to show up.

Brooklyn's longest-running gay party keeps the dance floor packed every Friday with Cameron Cooper and Zach Cole behind the decks, rotating guest performers, and a crowd that knows how to move. No cover means there's zero reason not to show up.

Garry Hannon brings together some of NYC's sharpest queer comedians for a night of stand-up that actually lands. $4 well drinks sweeten the deal on a Tuesday when you need a real reason to get out. Free entry, good laughs, and a crowd that gets the jokes — exactly what a comedy night should be.

Amateur drag queens compete for judges' votes and a shot at the yearly Miss DRAGnet title—plus real prize money and bragging rights. Between performances, rotating guest DJs keep the dance floor moving. Think you have what it takes? Reach out to Merrie Cherry about competing.
