Throwdown Thursday

The weekly showtunes night that's become a Dupont Circle institution — a room full of people who know every word, a bartender who takes requests, and the kind of energy that makes you remember why you love this place. Show up, sing along, and find your people.

Two of JR's best-loved weekly traditions collide on Tuesday nights: Flashback Tuesdays brings the trivia, Goldilocks brings the retro hits. It's the kind of reliable midweek hangout where regulars show up for the music, stay for the questions, and leave having had exactly the right amount of fun.

Free tickets to see Pattie Gonia at the 9:30 Club on May 31 are up for grabs at Nellie's weekly Drag Bingo. Sapphire Blue and Deja Diamond are hosting the night—show up, play some bingo, grab a drink, and someone's leaving with a pair of tickets in hand.

Drag Bingo night with a twist—show up and you could walk out with a pair of tickets to see Pattie Gonia at the 9:30 Club on May 31. Sapphire Blue and Deja Diamond are running the game, so you know it's going to be fun. Grab a drink, play some bingo, and maybe get lucky.

A book club for LGBTQ+ readers who love romance and queer love stories. Meet monthly at Little District Books to discuss books written by and for queer people, share recommendations, and connect with other readers who get it. Whether you're into contemporary romance, historical fiction, or anything in between, there's a place for you here.

A sexy, sleazy happy hour for big boys and their admirers — no cover, drink specials from 6-10pm, and fries from Lucky Pollo (served by a sexy fry boy, naturally). Phil Reese is on the decks keeping the energy moving. Exactly the kind of low-key, high-fun Friday night that District Eagle does best.
