Coffee Kvetch Let's Play Mahjong! (50+)

6:30 PM

A night built for men and masc-identified folks to actually connect—no pressure, just games, laughs, and the kind of community that gets it. Jackbox games are the perfect excuse to learn something new about the people around you while having genuinely fun, silly competition. 18+.

No Straight Answers Study Hall (13 18)

1:00 PM

Tuesday afternoons belong to the 50+ crowd at LGBT Network — a low-key gathering built around coffee, conversation, and mahjong. Beginners get tutorials; if mahjong isn't your thing, bring your favorite game instead. The real draw is the company: a room full of people who actually want to be there, sharing snacks and stories for a couple of hours. No RSVP needed.

Panel Discussion: Growing a Business

3:00 PM

Homework hits different when you've got people around who actually get it.

Whether you need help staying focused or just a quiet space to work around your people, this is it. Come study, get organized, meet other queer teens, and make the Q-Center your afterschool reset.

6:30 PM

A monthly social mixer for trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming folks looking to build community in a relaxed, judgment-free space.

Third Eye Yoga

LGBTQ+ Mental Health Support Group

5:00 PM

An hour of clothing-optional Vinyasa Flow with instructor John at Red Eye NY's intimate studio space. A judgment-free, welcoming queer community setting to move, breathe, and connect with your body — the perfect grounding practice to reset before the week (or weekend) takes over. $20 per class, or grab a 5-class pass for $75 or 10-class pass for $125, cash at the door.

Sophie Robinson's Prairie Oyster

A weekly space for LGBTQ+ adults to find community, share experiences, and get support from people who get it. Led by BCPC staff with educational resources, this group is about connection and mutual aid—not intensive therapy. Registration required at least an hour before the meeting.

Sophie Robinson reads from her novel Prairie Oyster alongside poet Ariana Reines in an intimate evening at Hive Mind. Two writers, one conversation, and the kind of literary moment that reminds you why independent bookstores matter.

Smart Recovery

6:30 PM

An LGBTQIA+ centered SMART Recovery meeting that uses evidence-based methods like REBT and CBT for self-empowered addiction recovery. The 4-Point Program guides discussions on building motivation, coping with urges, managing thoughts and behaviors, and achieving balance. Free and open to anyone struggling with substance use or other addictive behaviors — no registration required, just show up.

Oral Exam Trivia

7:00 PM

Monday nights at Rockbar belong to the smart mouths and the chaos—Oral Exam Trivia is exactly the kind of loud, fun trivia night where you're encouraged to yell answers, flirt with the competition, and fight for a $50 bar tab. Hosted by Jason Romas, it's got the questionably educational energy that's made Mondays here reliably good. Bad behavior expected, drinks encouraged.
