Kzilla Friday Takeover

Thursday night at Crush gets delightfully unhinged — Pulp by Fgt is the kind of dance party where the vibe is feral, the energy is infectious, and nobody's pretending to be anything other than exactly who they are. No cover means there's zero friction between you and a night of pure, unapologetic fun.

Thursday night belongs to the performers and the crowd that shows up to judge them. Crush It! is a lipsync competition where the energy is high, the performances are fierce, and the winners take home bragging rights. Whether you're competing or cheering from the sidelines, it's the kind of night that reminds you why live performance matters in a queer space.

Friday night at Crush means dancing to live DJ sets in a room that knows how to have a good time. No cover charge, extended hours until 3am, and the kind of energy that keeps the U Street corridor moving. Expect craft cocktails, a packed dance floor, and a crowd that's here for the music.

Saturday night at Crush belongs to the DJs who know how to build a room. Tracy Young goes back-to-back with Alex Love and Sidekick for a night of seamless mixing and packed dance floor energy. No cover means you've got zero excuse to show up early and stay late.

Free hot dogs while supplies last, plus DJ Matt Bailer spinning tracks. A laid-back Sunday afternoon at Crush — the kind of low-key gathering that reminds you why this bar is such a good neighborhood spot.

Grab the mic and belt it out with live piano accompaniment at this weekly karaoke night. Whether you're a shower-singer or a seasoned performer, the piano player's got your back and the crowd's here for a good time. It's the kind of midweek reset that reminds you why karaoke exists.
