Temperatures are on the rise — so stay cool and keep hydrated at one of Bay Ridge’s many fine bars.

There is a great weekend of music lined up at watering holes across the neighborhood, so crack open a cold one and enjoy some tunes.

Do something original every Thursday night, when Greenhouse Cafe (7717 Third Ave. between 77th and 78th streets) showcases local lyricists with an evening of all-original music from some rockin’ Ridgeites. Strap on a six-string and sing your heart out or catch the next big thing before he or she hits the top of the charts.

This Friday night, there is only one place to be, and that is laying down your arms and giving up a cheer for British Invasion stalwarts the Windsor Terrors, which will be making the motherland proud at the Greenhouse Cafe, starting at 10 pm.

Who said John Bonham is dead? He is living on in the hearts of Bonzo’s Flying Circus — a classic rock outfit specializing in Zeppelin covers that will grace the stage at the Schnitzel Haus (7319 Fifth Ave. between 73rd and 74th streets) at 10 pm on Saturday night. Go pay your tribute to ol’ “four sticks” and see if the staff can scare up a slice of custard pie.

For some diversity in your ditties, check out the Wicked Monk (9510 Third Ave. between 95th and 96th streets) on Saturday night from 11 pm, when Staten Island’s Good Noise will be covering a range of artists as varied as Weezer and Sam Cooke.

Or if you are feeling like a trip to the bayou on Saturday, go no further than Three Jolly Pigeons (6802 Third Ave. at 68th Street), where you can jam-balaya out with Dave Clive’s Nawlins Funk Band, starting at 9:30 pm.

Then come down from that weekend high on Sunday with a few laughs back at the Wicked Monk, where comedy-hip-hop group Lords of the Fjords will entertain crowds with its clever combination of satirical rhymes, goofy stories, and multimedia mayhem, kicking off at 4 pm.
