Straight Acting

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.

Monthly hip-hop party where DJs Josh Sparber and Dicap keep the floor moving while Charlene serves up drag performances and pure chaos all night. No cover, late-night energy, and the kind of crowd that knows how to have a good time.

Miss Katie hosts an evening of shared queer travel stories — the kind of tales that stick with you long after you're home. Have a story from your own travels? The stage is open. Call the bar if you'd like to share what you've learned, discovered, or survived on the road.

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.

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.

DJ JK brings the full spectrum—pop, house, hip-hop, throwbacks, whatever moves you—while Miz Jade, the Queen of Shade herself, takes the stage for pop-up performances that'll have the room talking. No cover, no pretense, just a Friday night that lives up to its name.
