*** Aug 11 Update *** Excited to see you at Heart of Gold for book club today! A few announcements: - Grab a drink and/or hot dog inside, then meet us in the backyard. Discussion starts at 6:30, so arrive a little early if you want time to order before we begin! - The weather is a little tricky tonight, but we’ll have some shade in the covered backyard. If it rains or you need a break from the heat, feel free to head inside while we continue the discussion outside. - Stick around afterward for our social hour and a chance to make some new friends! *** Astoria Gay Book Club is back for August at our new home! Join us on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, from 6:15–7:15 PM at Heart of Gold as we discuss Bath Haus by P.J. Vernon. Astoria Gay Book Club is a welcoming space centered on queer and LGBTQ+ men, but all book lovers are welcome. Our monthly gatherings are casual, inclusive, and focused on building community through great conversations. Whether you're looking to discover new books, meet new people, or simply spend an evening with fellow readers, we'd love to have you. We'll kick things off with brief introductions before diving into the discussion, followed by a relaxed social hour. In addition to Heart of Gold's amazing selection of craft beer, cocktails, and wine, they also offer $2 hot dogs and half-price specialty dogs. You don't have to live in Astoria to join us, and you don't have to finish—or even start—the book to attend. Come for the conversation, stay for the community. We strive to create a respectful, open-minded, and welcoming environment for everyone. Kindness and curiosity are encouraged; hateful, rude, or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Schedule 6:15 PM – Arrive, grab a drink, order a hot dog, and meet the group in the backyard. 6:30 PM – Book discussion begins. 7:15 PM – Social hour.
