Saturday and Sunday mornings at Kit Kat Club belong to drag, bottomless mimosas, and Broadway energy. The Kit Kat Divas perform while you settle in with brunch — two seatings at 11am and 1:30pm give you flexibility to show up, get fed, and catch the show without the usual rush. It's the kind of weekend ritual that actually lives up to the hype.

Saturday afternoons at SoFo Tap belong to the pups and their people—a weekly dog-friendly hangout where you bring your four-legged friend, grab a good drink, and settle in with a genuinely welcoming crowd. Free treats for the dogs, cheap drinks for you, and three hours of easy, unpretentious fun. This is neighborhood bar culture at its best.

The monthly Pokémon GO hangout where trainers actually show up to raid together, trade, and grab drinks without the awkwardness. Hosted by Flops at Meeting House Tavern, it's free, laid-back, and welcomes everyone from competitive players to folks just getting back into the game. Three hours of raids, challenges, and the kind of gaming community that actually feels like community.

BearUnion's afternoon play party takes over Cell Block's backroom — a space designed for the bear community to connect, explore, and have a good time together. Tickets required; grab yours online or at the door. 21+ with valid ID.

A night built for connection and chemistry at SoFo Tap — bears, cubs, otters, chasers, and admirers come together for a social, flirty evening with music by Tracy McKenzie. Nine PM to three AM, free entry, and the kind of energy that reminds you why this community knows how to have a good time.

A glowing night built for pups, handlers, gear enthusiasts, and everyone who gets the scene. The Kennel's neon special edition brings the energy and community that makes Jackhammer's leather and alternative space so magnetic — expect music, themed gear, and a crowd that knows how to celebrate together. Open 9pm–4am.
