Who This Is For

This game is for LGBTQ+ folks of all backgrounds who want to spend a Tuesday night playing cards in good company. You don’t need to be good. You just need to show up.

A typical game includes:

First-timers, total beginners, and queers who’ve sort of played before, as well as semi-pros
Chill poker nerds who love teaching
People who just want a low-pressure space to be social

What to Expect at This Queer Poker Game

Beginner-friendly tables - we’ll teach you as you play
Low stakes - this is more about making friends than making money
Queer-only space - this event is specifically for LGBTQ+ community

These poker nights aren’t about winning big. They’re about meeting people, building queer community, and making San Francisco feel a little smaller, in a good way.

Come Play

If you’ve been looking for a queer event in San Francisco that’s actually low-key and welcoming, we hope you’ll join us. Bring a friend, or come solo, lots of people do.

Queer Poker is for all of us. Especially you.
