The Heart Goes On with Annie Sharkey

Community Focused

The Queer Neighborhood Council (TQNC)

Organizational leaders gather in a facilitated circle to tackle the real challenges facing queer communities and collaboratively develop strategies that keep our organizations healthy and impactful. Learn about radical funding models that support smaller organizations and activists, while building connection through active listening, shared responsibility, and collective healing. A community altar provides space for remembrance and grieving.

Lesbian

BAGLY (Boston Alliance of LGBTQ+ Youth)

BAGLY gathers to celebrate International Lesbian Day — a chance to honor lesbian visibility, community, and joy. Whether you're looking to connect with other lesbian and queer women, learn something new, or simply be in a room where you belong, this is the space for it.

Food & Drink

Trophy Room

Hockey night done right — settle in with a mouthwatering meal (think BBQ chicken pizza and the Chandler Street burger) while the Bruins take on the Mammoth. Faceoff at 7:30 PM in a space that's genuinely warm and welcoming, whether you're a die-hard fan or just here for the good food and company.

Karaoke

Dani’s Queer Bar

Grab the mic every Thursday night at Dani's Queer Bar for No Cover Karaoke — no cover charge, no judgment, just you and a room full of people ready to cheer you on. From 10pm to 2am, belt out your favorite anthem, discover a new go-to song, or just soak in the energy of a crowd that genuinely loves karaoke night. Hosted by Miss Jade Rock, it's a weekly ritual that's become the neighborhood's most reliably fun excuse to sing your heart out, solo or with your crew.

Viewing Party

Blend

Every Friday night, Blend transforms into the go-to spot for RuPaul's Drag Race fans to gather and watch the latest episode together. Expect a packed bar, strong cocktails, sharp commentary, and a crowd that lives for the lip syncs, the drama, and the fashion. It's the kind of night where the energy in the room is just as entertaining as what's on screen — come celebrate the art of drag with your community.

Drag Brunch

Dani’s Queer Bar

Weekend drag brunch at Dani's Queer Bar, Boston's dedicated queer bar — rotating drag performers, no cover charge, and two seatings (11:30am and 1:30pm) every Saturday and Sunday. Expect great food, strong drinks, and a room full of community members ready to celebrate. A neighborhood tradition that actually makes getting up early worth it.
