Sunday, August 16, 2026
Kick off your Sunday with a fabulous tea dance at Kit Kat Lounge, where DJ Janky and Friends keep the energy high on the dance floor while go-go dancers and drag performances heat things up. Sip on $9 martini specials and dance the afternoon into evening with Chicago's fiercest queens—no cover charge means more money for cocktails and tips. This is the perfect spot to celebrate with the community, strut your stuff, and experience the glamorous, high-energy vibe that makes Kit Kat a Northalsted institution.
