Pixie's Big Adventure

Pixie's Big Adventure
Wednesday, November 11th, 2026
Times on venue site

Pixie's Big Adventure is the Wednesday drag night at Industry Bar in Hell's Kitchen, where the stage gets stacked with drag and DJ Adriana Trenta keeps the room moving from 11pm. Grab a spot near the stage, drink in the glam, and see what Pixie's got planned for the week. It's a great way to kick off the middle of the week, and the night runs late, so bring your A-game.

11:00 PM

Wednesday nights at Metropolitan belong to Cakes — a weekly dance floor takeover hosted by Mini Horrorwitz and Devo Monique, with DJs Horrorchata and Hannah Lou spinning all night. The main event is the Best Ass Contest: get on stage, grab a free shot, and shake for a chance at a $25 bar tab. With cheap drinks ($3 PBR tall boys, $7 PBR/shot combos) and no cover, it's the reliably fun midweek reset that keeps the crowd coming back.

Come through, bring your favorite people, and make the set your own.
