Comedy

The Jones Effect

Thursday, November 5th, 2026

10:30 PM

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.

Karaoke

Cut throat Karaoke

Thursday, November 5th, 2026

10:30 PM

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.

Playground Sundays

Sunday, November 8th, 2026

10:30 PM

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.

Drag Shows

Musical Mondays

Monday, November 9th, 2026

7:00 PM

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.
