The Jones Effect

Every Monday at Rise, a rotating cast of drag performers—Paige, Sutton, Cacophony, and Evita—take the stage for an evening built around music and theater. Videos kick off at 7pm with DJ Gingy, then the full show starts at 8:30. It's the kind of reliable, high-energy Monday night that makes you actually want to come back.

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 where the competition gets fierce and the crowd gets louder. Every Tuesday at 11pm, DJ TK keeps the energy high while you battle it out for bragging rights. It's the kind of night that starts as a fun sing-along and ends with people remembering why they came back the week before.

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.
