Ridgewood • $
Head upstairs for cheap drinks and vintage films on the big screen, then head downstairs where local bands and open mic regulars fill the basement with live music. Kipp Elbaum's Ridgewood spot is a welcoming hangout that keeps the community scene alive until 4 AM.
Elmhurst
Filipino comfort food meets unlimited karaoke in Elmhurst. The smoky Chicken Inasal and golden Crispy Pata are crowd favorites, best enjoyed before you grab the mic.
Astoria • $$
The oldest gay bar in Queens feels like a queer Cheers: cheap 16-ounce "cock-tails," a disco bathroom, and nightly drag, karaoke, and bingo that turn regulars into family.
Jackson Heights
Tucked below a Roosevelt Avenue restaurant, this late-night Thai bar brings Bangkok vibes to Jackson Heights with live music that kicks off after 1:30 AM and a crowd that feels like home.
Astoria
By day, a laid-back neighborhood hang with karaoke and strong cocktails. By night, a pulsing dance floor with fierce drag performances and go-go dancers. The bartenders remember your name and your drink, and the queens, including Drag Race alumni, bring raw talent to the small stage.
Browse Queens neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
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.
