Raw Saturday

Monday nights at The Roost are for anyone with something to say—whether that's a song, a story, a joke, or whatever else is on your mind. It's the kind of low-pressure space where new performers get their first real audience and regulars keep coming back because the energy is genuinely supportive. Free entry means there's zero barrier to showing up, whether you're here to perform or just to cheer people on. Come for the performances, stay for the community.

Tuesday night karaoke at The Roost is the kind of thing that starts as a casual idea and ends with you staying way longer than you planned. It's a room full of people who actually want to hear you sing—whether you're belting out your power ballad or hilariously butchering a '90s one-hit wonder. Free entry, crafted cocktails, and a crowd that gets it makes this the easiest way to spend a Tuesday feeling like you belong. Show up solo or bring your chosen family; either way, you're walking out with new people to text.

Tuesday nights at Hunters belong to the people who want to belt out their favorite songs in front of a crowd that actually cheers them on. DJ Michael Malfavon keeps the energy up from 8pm to midnight, the stage is ready for whoever wants it, and there's no cover charge to walk in. Plus, a few times a year they bring in a live band to shake things up.

Wednesday nights at Hunters belong to Rusty Waters and Alexa Steals, who host the weekly drag bingo show that's equal parts hilarious and genuinely fun to play. Cards, prizes, and a room full of people who are here for a good time — no bingo experience required, just show up ready to laugh.

The neighborhood karaoke bar that actually gets it — intimate enough that you'll see the same faces, lively enough that the energy never dips. Wednesday nights mean an early 4pm opening, handcrafted cocktails, and an easy-to-use app to queue up your next song. Reservations recommended after 8pm ($20 per person); call 760-656-8680 between 4pm-8pm to book your spot. 21+.
