• Morgan Page at Effex Nightclub

    Effex
    DowntownLate NightDetails

    Morgan Page is a Grammy-nominated progressive house producer with a catalog stretching back to the mid-2000s, and this is a proper touring DJ set, not a local opener night. Effex runs late and the room gets loud fast, so if you want a good spot on the floor, arriving close to doors matters more here...

  • Poltergeist Screening + Bingo at Painted Lady

    Painted Lady Bed & Brew
    Wells ParkfilmTickets

    Poltergeist (1982) gets the bingo treatment at Painted Lady's Brews & Boos series, which means you are watching a genuinely unsettling film while also trying to mark off your card, and somehow that tension works.

  • Drag Brunch at Marble Brewery Downtown

    Downtowndrag/cabaretDetails

    Marble's downtown taproom hosts a drag brunch on a Sunday evening, which is an unusual time slot worth noting since the 6 p.m. start makes this less lazy-morning and more proper night-out energy. The taproom floor opens up well for performance, but it fills fast and there's no reserved seating once you're in. Grab tickets...

    The instructors at Rock 101 Music Academy step out from behind the lesson plans and play a full night of live music at Rio Bravo Brewing. These are working musicians who teach because they love it, not because they couldn't hack it, so expect a higher floor than your average local showcase. Tickets are through...
