Monthly Munches

We host four regular Queer Munch gatherings: Queer Munch East, Queer Munch South, Queer Munch Southeast, and our flagship munch, Queer Munch Central.

Queer Munch East is held on the third Sunday of the month from 5pm to 8pm at Eco Coffee House in East Hampton.

Queer Munch Central is held one Wednesday per month from 6pm to 9pm at Grace's Place in Meriden, CT.

Queer Munch South is held every second Friday from 5-8 PM at the Bridgeport Pride Center.

Queer Munch Southeast is held every fourth Saturday from 4-7pm at Pub 181 in New London.

So you're going to a munch. What do you need to know?

What to expect

Munches are events where folks from the kink community can meet in a casual, low-pressure setting. You can expect to socialize and meet new people, and to learn more about your local kink community. Munches are free to attend. Most times there is food or drink available to purchase from the venue. Sometimes there is a board game, puzzle, or craft available. Feel free to bring your own to share. 

There is no sex or kink play at a munch!

Munch Ettiquette

• The dress code at a munch is casual. Unless the host specifically says to, do not wear fetish clothes. 

• Refrain from taking photos or video. 

• Always ask consent before touching or entering a person’s physical space. 

• Respect confidentiality. 

Munch Safety

• You can use whatever name you’re comfortable with - your own or an alias. 

• If someone makes you feel unsafe, talk to the host so they can take appropriate steps to address it. 

• Respect others’ boundaries. 

• Homophobia, transphobia, and other bigotries are unacceptable. 

At Queer Munch...

• Drop in anytime - no full commitment required. Feel free to arrive and depart at your convenience. 

• We use a color-coded name tag system to help navigate socializing comfort levels and flirtation consent boundaries. View here.

• Cishet allies are warmly welcomed, with the understanding that queer experiences and perspectives remain centered. 

Our gathering prioritizes community and conversation. This is not a venue for seeking play partners or sexual connections. Expect rich dialogue, mutual understanding, and social connection.
