Saturday & Sunday Drag Brunch

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.

DJ Xavier Mazara in the Main Room with VJ Paul Leasure or Mikey Mo in the Shine Lounge (DJ &Drew Every 3rd Saturday in the Main Room)!

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.

Every Sunday at 10:30pm, Rise Bar becomes the place to be—hosted by the legendary Marti Gould Cummings and Chicky Gorgina, with DJ Nesto keeping the energy infectious. It's the kind of weekly ritual that builds a real crew: the same faces, the same energy, the same commitment to having an absolutely ridiculous good time. If you're looking for a Sunday night that actually feels worth staying up for, this is it.

Hell's Kitchen's most reliable Monday night—a rotating lineup of powerhouse drag performers (Paige Turner, Sutton Lee Seymour, Cacophony Daniels, and Evita Loca) taking the stage with Broadway polish and pure theater energy. Videos and DJ Gingy set the mood starting at 7pm, then the full show kicks off at 8:30. This is the kind of high-energy weekly tradition that actually makes you look forward to Mondays, with happy hour specials before 9pm and bar bites to fuel the night.
