Cut Throat Karaoke

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.

Wild Wednesdays is Rise Bar's weekly drag spectacle — a rotating lineup of powerhouse performers including Brenda Dharling, Bootsie LeFaris, Lexington Banks, Pattaya Hart, and Skye Walker, with DJ John Marto driving the energy all night. Seating at 10:30pm means you can settle in for a full show, then stick around for the dance floor. This is the midweek reset Hell's Kitchen actually shows up for, week after week.

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.

Thursday nights at Rise Bar belong to Zetta Jones, hosting a drag-and-comedy show that thrives on unpredictability — boys, drama, looks, and laughs, with DJ Steve Sidewalk keeping the energy moving all night. Show starts at 10:30pm.

Sunday afternoon tea dance at Rise Bar with DJ Steve Sidewalk and DJ Paul Leasure spinning from 5pm to 10pm. Drink specials run until 9pm and bar bites are available all night — a low-key, reliably fun way to ease into the evening with good music, good people, and dance floor energy that keeps the regulars coming back.
