Free Sunday BBQ

Sunday nights belong to the service industry crew and their friends — the people who spend their week making everyone else's night happen. Shift Drink is Metropolitan's laid-back hospitality hangout with games, cheap drink specials ($7 Bud Light & well shots, $5 selected premium drafts, $4 Fireball, $1 off top shelf), and zero pretension. No cover, no judgment, just a room full of people who get it.

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.

A monthly dance party where gender expression is celebrated and glitter is mandatory. Dress yourself up delicious—splash some glitter on that beard, rock a full face, or wear whatever makes you feel like yourself. Guest performances and rotating hosts keep the energy fresh every month. Cover varies or suggested donation.

Friday night at Metropolitan gets the full treatment — DJ JK behind the decks spinning pop, house, hip-hop, and throwbacks, plus pop-up performances from Miz Jade, the queen of shade herself. No cover means there's zero reason not to show up and dance.
