Shots & Shade: A Queer Drink & Draw

Miss Katie hosts an open-mic night for travelers with stories to tell. Bring your best queer travel memory—the disaster, the romance, the unexpected friendship, the moment that changed you—and share it with a room of people who get why those stories matter. No cover, no pressure, just real stories from real trips. Call the bar if you want to read.

DJ Manila Ice spins an evening devoted to one pop icon at a time—think Aaliyah, Kylie, Xtina, Beyoncé, Janet, Robyn, Mariah, Missy, Peaches, Donna Summer, Carly, Grace Jones, and more. Videos flood the screens, their music owns the night, and each month brings a new diva to celebrate. Free entry, no pretense, just pure devotion to the singers who matter.

A monthly dance night where gender expression is a non-issue and self-expression is the whole point. Dress however feels right to you—glitter on that beard, full drag, whatever—and hit the floor with a rotating lineup of guest performers and hosts. It's the kind of night where you show up as yourself and everyone gets it.

DJ JK takes the decks for a night of pop, house, hip-hop, and throwbacks — basically everything worth dancing to. Miz Jade "The Queen of Shade" brings the pop-up performances and the attitude. No cover, no pretense, just a Friday night that actually delivers.

Every month, DJ Manila Ice spins a different artist celebration—Madonna one month, Robyn the next, then Grace Jones, Kylie, Beyoncé, Janet, whoever's getting the full treatment that night. Guest performers and hosts rotate in to keep it fresh. It's the kind of themed night that actually commits to the bit, with a crowd that knows every word and isn't afraid to show it. No cover, Thursday nights at 10.

Amateur drag queens compete for judges' votes and a shot at the yearly Miss DRAGnet title—complete with cash prizes and serious bragging rights. Merrie Cherry hosts the show while rotating guest DJs keep the energy high between performances. No cover, so there's zero reason not to show up and cheer on the queens battling it out.
