Trips: A Queer Travel Story Night

Rotating DJs keep things fresh every week at this no-cover neighborhood staple. Cheap drinks—$2 PBR tall boys, $6 PBR and well shots—mean you can actually afford to stay out late on a Monday. The kind of low-pressure, unpretentious night that's become a reliable reason to get out.

Miss Katie's weekly karaoke night at Metropolitan is the reliably fun Tuesday tradition Brooklyn keeps coming back for. Grab props, lean into your performance, and enjoy $4 well drinks all night with no cover charge. A $25 bar tab goes to whoever brings the most spirit to the mic — low-key, high-energy, and exactly what a great neighborhood bar should do.

Visual trivia hosted by Alotta McGriddles and Cameron Cole where the crowd calls the shots—pick your category from Harry Potter to RuPaul's Drag Race to Mean Girls and beyond. Each round winner spins the wheel for prizes: pitchers of beer, well drinks, or bar tabs. No cover, all the fun.

Wednesday nights at Metropolitan belong to Cakes — a weekly dance floor takeover hosted by Mini Horrorwitz and Devo Monique, with DJs Horrorchata and Hannah Lou spinning all night. The main event is the Best Ass Contest: get on stage, grab a free shot, and shake for a chance at a $25 bar tab. With cheap drinks ($3 PBR tall boys, $7 PBR/shot combos) and no cover, it's the reliably fun midweek reset that keeps the crowd coming back.

Each edition of HELLA is a full night devoted to a single pop icon — think Aaliyah, Kylie, Xtina, Beyoncé, Janet, Robyn, Mariah, Missy, Peaches, Donna Summer, Carly, Grace Jones, and more. DJ Manila Ice keeps the music on heavy rotation while videos flood the screens, and the crowd shows up ready to celebrate whoever's getting the spotlight. No cover, so there's zero reason not to show up.

Saturday nights at Metropolitan turn into a living room party when DJ Reaubert and rotating guests take over with vinyl spins that feel less like a DJ set and more like your coolest friend's curated playlist. No cover, garden vibes, drinks in hand — this is happy hour that actually gets better as the night goes on.
