Wild Wednesdays

Every Monday at Rise, a rotating cast of drag performers—Paige, Sutton, Cacophony, and Evita—take the stage for an evening built around music and theater. Videos kick off at 7pm with DJ Gingy, then the full show starts at 8:30. It's the kind of reliable, high-energy Monday night that makes you actually want to come back.

Tuesday nights at Rise belong to the bingo players—free to enter, fabulous prizes to win, and happy hour running until 9pm. Evita Loca keeps the energy high while you mark your cards, grab some tasty bites, and settle into the kind of low-key fun that keeps people coming back week after week.

Late-night karaoke at Rise every Tuesday at 11pm, where the real competition starts after the drag shows wind down. DJ TK keeps the energy high and the song selection sharp — this is the kind of night where you either bring your A-game or get roasted by a room full of people who actually know how to have fun. It's chaotic, it's loud, and it's exactly what Tuesday nights in Hell's Kitchen need.

The last Wednesday of the month is your chance to mingle with single guys in Hell's Kitchen — no cover, no pressure, just a solid two-hour window (8-10pm) to see who's around. It's the kind of low-key social night that actually works because everyone's there for the same reason.

The last Wednesday of the month is your chance to mingle with other guys in Hell's Kitchen — no cover, no pressure, just a room full of people actually looking to connect. Show up between 8 and 10pm, grab a drink, and see who you meet.

Every Thursday night at Rise, Cut Throat Karaoke turns the bar into a high-stakes sing-off hosted by Emily McNamara with DJ TK behind the decks. Singing starts at 10:30pm and the vibe is part performance, part competition — you're here to shine, and the crowd will absolutely let you know if you do. It's the kind of weekly tradition that keeps people coming back: a packed room of people who can actually sing, a host who keeps things sharp and fun, and enough adrenaline to make a Thursday night feel like an event.
