About

Round three of the city's hottest Middle Eastern x Latin night is back with a twist — masks included with every ticket, mystery vibes all night. The Stud's dance floor gets packed for this one, and for good reason: the music doesn't stop, the crowd knows how to move, and the energy builds from the moment you walk in masked and ready.
