Straight Acting

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.

No cover, no judgment, just a room full of people who get it.
