The Ladies Who Brunch Men's Edition

Brunch

Bear Boutique is a holiday marketplace at Club Café in Boston's South End, featuring artists and craftsmen from the Bear Community plus allied vendors with gift-worthy wares. Browse for holiday giving on a Sunday afternoon, then grab brunch: shoppers get 20% off Club Café's brunch menu. No cover.

Tea Dance

Flannel Bear Tea is Club Café's monthly Bear and Otter afternoon in Boston's South End, held on the third Sunday of the month. DJ Darrin Friedman spins 70s disco through today's favorites from 4 to 10pm in the Moonshine Room at 209 Columbus Avenue. It's no cover for Go-Go Bears, so bring your flannel and your appetite.

Open Mic

Jim Rice has been a Napoleon Room favorite for over a decade, and this Sunday open mic at Club Café in Boston's South End is no cover, so you can settle in with dinner and a drink. Jim's one-man shows have played Providence and Key West, and he's conducted Phantom of the Opera across Europe, so expect everything from sublime to hilarious. Doors open at 6pm and the night wraps up at 9pm.

Cabaret

Nicolas King brings his new album "No Bad Chords" to the Napoleon Room at Club Café in Boston's South End for an intimate evening, with Tedd Firth on piano. Expect a Broadway veteran who started performing at age four, with decades of cabaret and Great American Songbook storytelling. Doors open at 5:30pm, the show runs 6:00 to 7:30pm, and tickets are $40 or $30 plus fee.

Drag Bingo

Monday nights at Club Café belong to Drag Bingo — a weekly night of hilarious drag performances, multiple bingo games, and real prizes, all hosted by the fabulous Mizery. Grab a table with friends, order from the full dinner menu and cocktail list, and settle in for the kind of evening that makes you actually look forward to Mondays. Free entry, 21+, and the room fills up fast, so reservations are smart.

Game Night

Boston Gaymers hosts a monthly Queer Board Game Night in the Moonshine Room at Club Café, serving up Jackbox games, social board games, and plenty of reasons to stick around. It's a low-key, low-pressure gathering for queer folks who want to play, laugh, and actually get to know people without the noise of a packed dance floor. Bring a favorite game or just show up ready to join in — about $5 gets you three hours of gaming and a crowd that knows how to have a good time.
