About the event

“Cheers, Queers!” is a vibrant and casual meet & greet for West Michigan’s Trans & Queer Community! This welcoming and inclusive gathering is an excellent space to reconnect with old friends (and meet some new ones)!  Co-sponsored by GR Trans Foundation & GR Pride Center.

“Cheers, Queers!” currently happens TWICE per month: one standard happy hour at Brewery Vivant, and one alcohol-free meetup at Lotus Brew.

Important details! Bring a friend or come solo – all are welcome! Lotus has a full dry bar / mocktail menu (see Discussion tab or their website for more info)! No purchase necessary; however, pastries, full dry bar / mocktail menu, espresso drinks, teas, sodas, & coffee will be available for purchase. Outside food can be brought into the venue, but please no outside bevvies. Instead, support Lotus with a drink purchase! Nearby food: Asada, KCM, Red Bowl, and Black Napkin. Venue is all-ages, but this event is 18+.
