Who said being a creature of habit is a bad thing?
Whether you like to haunt your local dive bar, go dancing every weekend, or just curl up with a book in the comfort of your own bed to prepare for book club - we all have our routines of comfort. Luckily, Austin has a wide selection of recurring LGBTQ+ events to keep your creature of habit well-fed, happy, and adequately entertained. Check out our collection of events below for what to do weekly and monthly in Austin.

Biweekly
Have any crafts you're currently working on or want to start? Every other week you can join a group of ATX queer creatives at Queer Craft Night (check their Instagram for weekly locations). Most craft nights are “bring your own craft” whether that's a painting in progress or something you've been writing, but periodically there will be themed nights.
