Drag Race

Friday nights at Albatross mean Jacklynn Hyde's 'Primetime' show at 9pm, then karaoke takes over and doesn't stop. The song selection is endless, the crowd knows how to have fun, and happy hour runs 5-8pm if you want to get there early. This is the karaoke night that actually matters in Queens — and coming soon, Albatross IDOL Season 3 with a $300 prize for the winner.

Three queens—Beau Jangless, Mo'riah, and Dev Doe—bring acrobatics and pure spectacle to the dance floor, with Lady Simon spinning beats all night. This is the kind of Friday night that reminds you why you love going out.

Hell's Kitchen's hottest Friday night — a high-energy showcase curated by Lucifer with music from Alpha Moses and Jay Essex. Blake McAllister, Darwin Junior, Ed Charm, Jamal, Jay Marti, JC, Lanye Armon, Mahogany, and Pete keep the room moving. Ten PM start means the night's just getting going when you arrive.

Late-night Friday at C'Mon Everybody — a neighborhood bar night where the crowd is queer, the cocktails are creative, and the vibe is exactly what you need to kick off the weekend. Intimate booth seating, house specials like the Lavender Menace, and a room full of people who get it.

The city's most reliably fun queer hip-hop night — a packed dance floor, rotating DJs spinning heat, and a crowd that actually knows how to move. Hot Sauce Fridays is where the neighborhood comes to dance hard and feel at home.

A late-night Friday at Brooklyn's largest queer nightclub, where the dance floor is packed and the energy runs straight through to sunrise. State-of-the-art sound and lights, a room full of people ready to celebrate, and six hours to lose yourself in it.
