NADA: Naked Bar Night

Cabaret

Red Idol All Stars at Red Eye NY in Hell's Kitchen is the weekly singing competition where three past contestants from each season battle it out for redemption and a fully produced cabaret. The judges are NYC drag chanteuse Castrata, Broadway's Michelle Dowdy and Red Eye owner Sam Benedict, so bring your best vocals and your loudest cheers. It starts at 7pm every Sunday with no cover.

Wellness Programs

An hour of clothing-optional Vinyasa Flow with instructor John at Red Eye NY's intimate studio space. A judgment-free, welcoming queer community setting to move, breathe, and connect with your body — the perfect grounding practice to reset before the week (or weekend) takes over. $20 per class, or grab a 5-class pass for $75 or 10-class pass for $125, cash at the door.

Drag Shows

Wilma's Drag Derby is a drag show that gallops into Red Eye NY in Hell's Kitchen for its second season, hosted by internet troll and award-winning drag queen Wilma Carstart. Expect a horse-stable theme, plenty of dirt-kicking drag, and a crowd that's ready to cheer. It kicks off at 9pm on Tuesday, October 20th.

Geek Culture

Every Tuesday at 9pm, Red Eye NY becomes headquarters for the queer gaming and geek community. Hosted by Charles Nordquist and brought to you by GeeksOut, this weekly gathering celebrates all things pop culture, gaming, and comic book fandom with a queer twist — think a rotating Tournament of Gaymers, a D&D Division for campaign nights, and a Comic Book Club for people who actually read them. No cover, high energy, and a Discord community already waiting. Just show up and find your people.

Line Dancing

A beginner-friendly line dance class for the queer country scene. Learn two line dances in a relaxed studio setting at Red Eye NY, then stick around to practice with your classmates over cocktails. No experience needed — just leather-soled shoes or sneakers, water, and a willingness to sweat. It's the perfect intro before hitting the dance floor and finding your people in the community.

Drag Shows

A campy Halloween drag celebration where dead celebrities get their moment on stage — because the show must go on. Bootsie LeFaris, Harriet Tugsmen, Megami, and a full roster of local queens honor the icons we've lost with humor, heart, and full drag realness. Tickets start at $14.29; 21+ only.
