Gay Bar Fun Run
Lace up for a Tuesday evening run that's part fitness, part community — a group of runners gathering at Club Café before heading out together through Boston's streets. Whether you're training, socializing, or just looking for a reason to get moving with people who get it, this is low-pressure fun with a queer twist. Finish line includes drinks and good company.

Trivia Tuesday
The weekly trivia night that keeps regulars coming back — sharp questions, cheap drinks, and the kind of crowd that actually knows how to have a good time. Show up solo or bring your crew; either way, you'll find your people at the bar.

Brian Patton Broadway Hump Day
Wednesday night belongs to anyone who loves a good showtune — professionals, rising stars, aspiring singers, or just folks who know every word. Brian Patton on piano and vocals leads a no-cover open mic in the Napoleon Room, which means the stage is yours if you want it. Free, no pretense, just sing-alongs and the kind of crowd that actually gets excited when someone nails a Sondheim number.

Karaoke Wednesdays

Whether you're a karaoke regular or stepping up to the mic for the first time, the vibe is all encouragement and good energy — no judgment, just people having a genuinely fun night together.

No cover, no pretense, just the kind of evening that reminds you why live music in a good room matters.

Pride Drag Dinner
Club Café brings Pride to the table with an evening that pairs great food, drag performances, and the kind of celebration that actually means something. Dinner, drinks, and performers who know how to work a room — it's the kind of night that reminds you why this community does it better.

Lost Pride 45s Tea Dance With DJ Barry Scott
Get your dance fix before Pride parade day — this early tea dance is built for people who want to start the celebration Friday night and still make it to the streets Saturday morning. DJ Barry Scott spinning 45s from 6 to 9pm in the Moonshine Room, go-go dancers, and a crowd that knows how to move. $15 cover, VIPs get in free.

Rainbows and Stars with Jonathan Gallegos
