About Bay Area Poly Happy Hour

We welcome all the non-monogamous, poly-curious, relationship anarchists, queer-of-all-sorts, supportive friends, singles, couples, polycules, et al. to help us create a safe space for all orientations and all kink and gender identities. To this end, please don’t yuck someone else’s yum and practice enthusiastic consent [ask before initiating any physical contact (even a hug) and feel empowered to respond, "no thank you" to asks from others]

Poly Happy Hour brings together the Bay Area non-monogamous community, from long-timers to those just thinking about exploring, for an afternoon of mingling, friend-making and catching up.

No cover or cost to attend, but food and drinks are available to order. - If you're able, please support the folks at BRIX 581 who make this event possible. (buy drinks, come hungry, tip big)

About BRIX581:

BRIX 581 is located near Jack London Square. Have a drink and a bite, and meet some amazing folks. Menus will be posted when they're available.

We are asking that people who smoke things do so in front of the venue instead of on the patio to support members with sensitivities to smoke.

Our Oakland Happy Hour at Brix581 is a full takeover, which is why Yelp/Google Maps/ etc. will say the bar is closed.
