This week
A safe space to talk about what's on your mind, whether you're showing up in person at the Pride Center or joining from home. No pressure, no judgment—just a chance to connect with others in the community and get support when you need it.
An hour of Vinyasa Flow with instructor John in Red Eye's intimate space — the kind of grounding practice that actually fits into a weeknight. Clothing optional, judgment-free, and a quiet counterpoint to the nightlife energy happening elsewhere in the room. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 5pm.
A safe space to connect with others in the queer community who understand what you're going through. Whether you're navigating identity, relationships, work stress, or just need to talk with people who get it, this weekly gathering at the Pride Center offers real support without judgment. Come as you are.
SMART Recovery is a self-empowerment program for people looking to build a life free from addictive behaviors.

Queer Playwrights Circle
A writing group where queer and trans playwrights at any stage of their career can develop work without the usual barriers. Read your plays aloud with other writers who get it, get real feedback, and finally hear your words performed without having to hunt down actors. Meet Mondays at Hive Mind.
Oral Exam Trivia
Monday night trivia at Rockbar gets competitive and fun — test your knowledge on pop culture, history, random facts, and whatever else the host throws at you. Cheap drinks, a crowd that actually knows their stuff, and the kind of banter that makes trivia nights worth showing up for.
Musical Mondays with Queen David
Queen David takes over Monday nights at Rockbar with an evening of showtunes, pop classics, and pure theatrical energy. If you love a performer who knows how to work a room and isn't afraid to bring the drama, this is your weekly reset. Expect sing-alongs, personality for days, and a crowd that actually appreciates the art of performance.
Texas Hold'em Tournament
Monday night poker hosted by Butch — free to play, weekly prizes, and the kind of crowd that actually knows how to read a table. Show up, test your luck, and maybe walk away with something to show for it.
Uhmmwhat
Monday nights at ANIMAL belong to Uhmmwhat — a DJ-driven dance experience that keeps the floor moving from 8PM until 2AM. No cover means there's zero reason not to show up and see what the night brings.
Crash Landing Comedy
Monday nights belong to Ashley Ryan's Crash Landing, a weekly comic showcase where the material is sharp, the guests are game, and the vibe is pure unpredictability. Some jokes soar, some crash and burn, and that's exactly the point — it's the kind of night that keeps you coming back to see what happens next.
Basketball Open Gym
Monday night hoops at the Pride Center — no tryouts, no drama, just people who want to play. Whether you're looking to get a solid workout in or reconnect with folks over a game you love, this is the space for it. All skill levels welcome.
The Jelly: Pride
The Jelly takes over C'Mon Everybody for a Pride celebration that's all about good vibes, craft cocktails, and a room full of people ready to have a real good time. This is the kind of intimate venue moment that makes Pride week special — not a massive production, just a genuinely fun night with your people.
