Club Café Fridays

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.

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.

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.

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.

More Magic To Do is the reunion cabaret from Pamela Enders and Jinny Sagorin, nine years after their 2017 hit at Club Café's Moonshine Room. Expect jazz, Broadway and madcap cabaret in the Napoleon Room, with Tom LaMark on piano. Dinner seating starts at 5:30pm, the one-hour show begins at 6:30pm, and there's no cover, though reservations are strongly recommended.

Gay Bar Fun Run is a casual, social group run hosted by Great Day, a queer run coaching service, meeting at Club Café in Boston's South End on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month. Pick the 3-mile or 5-mile route, bring $3 for bag check, and lace up with a welcoming crowd. It's the easiest way to get some miles in, meet new people and catch up with friends.
