Karaoke is a regular part of the calendar, while drag shows and hosted stage events add a performance element to selected nights. Other programming includes themed parties and opportunities for performers, creating a varied schedule across the week. The lineup is designed to keep the focus on music, participation and live entertainment, with the bar serving as the central gathering point.
