Queeraoke

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.

Frankie Sharp's weekly Saturday night takeover at Metropolitan, hosted by Kandy Muse. Expect rotating guest performers—local queens, vocal artists, and regular Ru girls—plus a sensual stripper each week ready to work for tips. High-energy, anything-goes drag and dance party vibes that keep the crowd coming back week after week. Cover is $5–$10 depending on the lineup.

Sunday evening life drawing with a queer twist — grab a drink, sketch a rotating cast of guest models through their poses, and compete for a bar tab with your best work. Hosted by BrieYOB, it's a low-pressure, high-fun creative hangout at Metropolitan where you don't need any artistic skill, just the willingness to show up, sip, and sketch. No cover.

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.

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.
