Free Sunday BBQ

Metropolitan's Thursday lineup shifts with the seasons and the mood — one week it's a DJ set, the next might be live music or a themed party. The best way to know what's on? Hit up their Instagram or give them a call. It's the kind of bar that keeps things fresh without ever losing what makes it special: a genuinely welcoming crowd, two fireplaces when it's cold, and that legendary backyard garden when the weather's right.

Friday nights at Metropolitan belong to DJ Reaubert and rotating guests who spin vinyl and transform happy hour into something that feels like a roaring living room party — the kind where everyone's welcome, the drinks are strong, and the backyard garden is packed. No cover, just good music and better company.

Weekly visual trivia hosted by Alotta McGriddles and Cameron Cole — you pick the topics, they keep the energy high. Expect deep dives into Harry Potter, Disney, Mean Girls, RuPaul's Drag Race, and everything in between. Each round winner spins the wheel for prizes: pitchers of beer, well drinks, or bar tabs. Free to play, no cover charge.

Each edition of Hella celebrates a different pop icon with DJ Manila Ice behind the decks, heavy rotation of their music all night, and videos splashed across the screens. Past tributes have ranged from Aaliyah and Kylie to Grace Jones and Donna Summer — basically, if they're a legend and a diva, they've probably gotten the Hella treatment. No cover, so there's no excuse not to show up.

Friday night debauchery hosted by Mini Horrorwitz and Devo Monique, with DJs Horrorchata and Hannah Lou spinning all night. The main event: the Best Ass Contest. Get on stage, shake it, grab a free shot, and compete for a $25 bar tab. Cheap drinks ($3 PBR tall boys, $7 PBR/shot) keep the night rolling. No cover.

Saturday nights at Metropolitan belong to DJ Reaubert and rotating guests who spin vinyl and transform happy hour into something that feels like a living room party with everyone you actually want to be around. No cover, good drinks, and the kind of vibe that keeps people coming back.
