🌈 Queer Meyhane @ Pulse and Pickle

Every Feeling Has a Place at the Table

We’re reimagining the warm, intimate tradition of Turkish Meyhane through a queer lens. At Pulse and Pickle, we slow down together, share mezze and rakı, and create space for deep conversation and visibility.

Queer Meyhane is a safe and inclusive space for anyone bringing their identity, orientation, and story—just as they are. At this table, no one is “too much” or “not enough.” Everyone belongs.

🥂 Glasses are raised to friendship,

🌿 Mezze is shared,

🪷 Even silence is free of judgement.

We’re leaving gender norms behind and reshaping tradition in our own language. Come join us for an evening of connection, care, and queerness.

We’re setting the table at Pulse and Pickle. Come as you are — you’ve got a seat here.

Entry is free, but we have limited seating capacity so registration is required.
