Throwdown Thursday

The weekly showtunes night that keeps Dupont Circle singing — a room full of people who know every word, a bartender who takes requests, and the kind of Monday reset that actually makes sense. Show up ready to belt it out or just soak in the energy of a crowd that genuinely loves this stuff.

The first Tuesday of every month brings drag bingo to Red Bear — Tiffany D Carter and guest host Frieda Poussay keeping things lively while you play for prizes. This one's fully ASL interpreted by Good Signs, making it genuinely accessible to everyone in the room.

Tuesday night at JR's blends two things the regulars actually show up for: retro music that hits different and trivia that keeps the brain sharp. It's the kind of low-key, reliably fun evening that reminds you why neighborhood bars matter — good crowd, good tunes, and the chance to prove you know your stuff.

Hump day gets a gear-focused twist at District Eagle. Rock a jockstrap and score $7 drinks all night—no cover charge. Clothes check available if you want to leave the layers at the door. It's the midweek reset the leather and gear community actually shows up for.

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence bring their irreverent brand of charity to Red Bear for an evening of bingo, door prizes, and real community impact. It's the kind of night where the laughs are free, the cause is genuine, and your ticket actually goes somewhere that matters.

Latin night at District Eagle turns into pure perreo — Ainara Rose Perreo commanding the stage all night while DJ Milko spins reggaetón, dembow, salsa, and everything in between. No cover, no excuses. Bring your crew, your best moves, and the energy this room deserves.
