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.

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.

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.
