Rise & Shine Drag Brunch

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.

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 with a competitive edge — every Tuesday at 11pm, DJ TK keeps the energy high and the crowd ready to bring it. It's the kind of night where the songs matter less than the attitude, and Rise's dance floor becomes your stage.

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.
