Wild Wednesdays
Wednesday, November 11th, 2026
10:30 PM
Wild Wednesdays is Rise Bar's weekly drag spectacle — a rotating lineup of powerhouse performers including Brenda Dharling, Bootsie LeFaris, Lexington Banks, Pattaya Hart, and Skye Walker, with DJ John Marto driving the energy all night. Seating at 10:30pm means you can settle in for a full show, then stick around for the dance floor. This is the midweek reset Hell's Kitchen actually shows up for, week after week.

Cut throat Karaoke
Thursday, November 12th, 2026
10:30 PM
Every Thursday night at Rise, Cut Throat Karaoke turns the bar into a high-stakes sing-off hosted by Emily McNamara with DJ TK behind the decks. Singing starts at 10:30pm and the vibe is part performance, part competition — you're here to shine, and the crowd will absolutely let you know if you do. It's the kind of weekly tradition that keeps people coming back: a packed room of people who can actually sing, a host who keeps things sharp and fun, and enough adrenaline to make a Thursday night feel like an event.

Playground Sundays
Sunday, November 15th, 2026
10:30 PM
Every Sunday at 10:30pm, Rise Bar becomes the place to be—hosted by the legendary Marti Gould Cummings and Chicky Gorgina, with DJ Nesto keeping the energy infectious. It's the kind of weekly ritual that builds a real crew: the same faces, the same energy, the same commitment to having an absolutely ridiculous good time. If you're looking for a Sunday night that actually feels worth staying up for, this is it.
