Coffee Shop

as you are

Lil Coffee Chat is a low-key Sunday meetup at As You Are in Washington, DC, made for queer folks 35 and up who want good conversation over coffee. Grab a seat in the café, say hi to the regulars, and start talking. It's a relaxed way to meet people without the bar noise, and the cafe's ready when you are.

Community Focused

as you are

Aya Pickup Basketball is a casual Sunday game for any queer who wants in, held at Watkins Park on 12th St. SE in Washington, DC. Bring your own ball and show up for a relaxed run on court 2, weather permitting, until it gets too cold. Every Sunday at 2pm, come play with the community.

Book Club

Little District Books

Little District Books' monthly fantasy and sci-fi book club for queer readers, hosted by Patrick and held at 631 Pennsylvania Ave SE in Capitol Hill. It's free to attend, but you'll need to reserve a seat through the shop's cart, since they plan chairs around RSVPs. This month's pick is These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart by Izzy Wasserstein, so grab a copy and come talk about it.

Drag Shows

Shakers

Brown Sugar is Shakers' monthly POC drag show in Washington, D.C., held every third Sunday of the month. Hosted by Cake Pop and Evry Pleasure, it's a night to see some of the city's best drag talent in the friendly neighborhood bar on 9th Street NW.

Party

Green Lantern

Shirtless Sunday at Green Lantern is DC's original shirtless party, a gay bar night on Green Court in Washington where the dress code is confidently bare-chested. Drinks are free from 10 to 11pm, and the upstairs room is the place to be. No cover, so you're just paying for the view.

Karaoke

as you are

Shower Karaoke at As You Are in Washington, DC is the Queerest Karaoke in town, a late-night sing-along where the whole room gets in on the chorus. Grab the mic, claim a stool and cheer on the bravest song choices. It starts at 11:00 PM on Sunday, so bring your voice and your best guilty-pleasure pick.
