4. Jake's on 4th is like that buddy we call up after we fail a test or have been stood up by a date. He's there when we need him, feeding us shots and blasting music so loud we forget our problems. The next day we're always stupendously hungover, but happier having spent the night dancing our troubles away. Tonight, Jake's legendary karaoke takes hold. Check it.
5. The Mix hosts Barstool Bingo with prizes beginning at 9 p.m.
