Gayme Night is our cozy board games hangout for the queer community and friends. Expect classics, quick party games, and the occasional chaotic round where someone swears they “definitely read the rules” (they did not). Come with your besties or show up solo — we’ll help people find a table and get a game going. The goal is simple: relaxed social time, a bit of playful competition, and a space that feels easy to enter. How it works * Drop in any time between 18:00 and 21:00 * Choose a game from the selection (or bring your own) * Join an open table or ask us to match you with a group * Play, snack, sip, repeat * Who it’s for Queer folks and friends/allies who can respect the space. You don’t need board game skills—just basic kindness and the ability to lose gracefully Free entry. Accessibility notes We aim to make this event as accessible as possible. If you have access needs or questions (seating, sensory needs, etc.), message us in advance and we’ll do our best to accommodate. Community care Villa Vida is a safer-space-ish environment: be respectful, ask for consent, and keep it cute. Harassment, racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, or any other form of discrimination isn’t welcome. Bring a friend or come make one. See you at Gayme Night.

Let’s meet and wander the galleries! General admission on Sundays is free.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus, this is a perfect early stop on our Summer of Ice Cream! Their menu uses made-from-scratch recipes in an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, crepes, waffle sticks, specialty coffee & espresso, and more!
