Aira Juliet hosts Kiki + Karaoke at Cheer Up Charlies with drink specials and no cover. Bad songs get judged, room clearers get booed.
Queer- and WOC-owned institution in the Red River District where drag shows and live music rotate through the same stage most nights of the week. Cocktails pour from fresh-juice taps (kombucha included), and the kale lime gingerita is either exactly your thing or immediately not. Rainbow murals, a busy outdoor patio, and a door policy that boils down to everyone is welcome.
Kale, lime, and ginger margarita — fresh-pressed, vegan, surprisingly good
Whisky, kombucha, lavender bitters, candied ginger — the house signature cocktail
Kale-spiked house margarita with fresh lime and ginger — the bar's most-ordered drink.
Rum, mango juice, elderflower, habanero — tropical heat in a glass
House kombucha on tap, served straight or as a cocktail base.
White Russian made with coconut milk in place of cream, fully vegan.
