One or more of these explanations could be true. We are closed today because the entire staff is hung over after an innocent game of duck, duck, goose turned into a sip, sip, shot all nighter. We are closed today to give the bar a deep cleaning so you can enjoy a like-new sparkling Pops Bar because we care about your bar experience. We are closed today because we have a case of the Mondays and just don’t give a damn. Alright you know that couldn’t be true. Whatever happens today, We reopen on Tuesday with a full line up of entertainment to keep you going all week.

Doors open at 8:30pm with a DJ spinning glam rock gold!
With mirrors and a place for you to get in fabulous face! Confess your most sinful stories to a real Bowie Reverend in the Silversexual Confession Booth!

At 10:30 the First Church performs the complete Ziggy Stardust album with interpretive drag and theatrical performance!

Then at midnight, a special Blasphemous Mass bringing you Silversexual rites and rituals to live music! Get Blessed by Bowie!
