Musical Mondays

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.

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.
