October 14 at 4pm +24
The Five Lamps · Upper East Side
Twenty bucks for a proper burger and a cold one, served with Irish pub soul. The Five Lamps pours Guinness the old way and keeps the potato wedges coming while you cheer for your team or challenge someone to darts.
Union Hall · Park Slope • $$
Curl up by the fireplace with a cocktail, challenge your date to bocce, then catch emerging comics testing new material downstairs. This bookshelf-lined Park Slope favorite nails the cozy-meets-playful vibe.
October 14 +19
Desert 5 Spot · Williamsburg • $$
Grab the mic and belt your heart out with a live band backing you up at this Brooklyn honky-tonk. The Jolene cocktail keeps your throat smooth, and the mechanical bull waits for your victory lap.
October 16 +20
Desert 5 Spot · Williamsburg • $$
Yeehaw in Brooklyn at the only mechanical bull in the city. This Texas-themed spot brings authentic honky-tonk energy: live country bands, rotating DJs, strong cocktails, and yes, you can ride the bull.
Sunnyside
A neighborhood cocktail bar where dim lighting and a solid playlist set the mood for a cross section of Sunnysiders—from post-shift restaurant workers to locals on first dates.
Ridgewood • $
A laid-back Ridgewood haunt where you can nurse cheap beers, play vintage pinball, and actually have a conversation. The backyard is perfect for lingering.

Look for a programme you connect with. Cherry Lane Theatre is a starting point for intimate theatre; NYC Resistor hosts workshops and craft nights where you can bring something you’re making. Tell me whether you’d rather watch, listen, or join in.
I’d choose one main event and keep the rest nearby. Check the journey from where you’ll actually be, especially when crossing boroughs. Tell me your starting neighbourhood and how far you’re willing to travel, and I’ll use that to narrow the options.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
