First time?

What is a munch?

A munch is a casual, public meetup for people in the kink community at a bar or restaurant. No play, no nudity, no scenes. It's not a dating or hookup event, just a relaxed, low-pressure way to meet people, ask questions and make friends.

Do I need experience?

Not at all. Kink-curious folks and total beginners are welcome, and so are people who've been around for years. Come as you are and share only what you want to.

What should I wear?

Elevated casual, street legal. Dress up a little and have fun with it, but remember it's a public venue: nothing you couldn't wear walking down Connecticut Ave.

Does it cost anything?

The munch is free. Please order something if you're able, and tip the staff well!

Who can come?

Adults 21 and up of every gender, orientation and experience level. Bring a friend if you like.

Will my privacy be respected?

Yes. No photos, videos or recordings, and no one shares who they saw here. What's shared here stays here.

Is the venue accessible?

We'll be on the second floor. There is an elevator, but it is not ADA compliant. Please reach out with any accessibility questions!

Community guidelines

  1. Consent.

    Ask first, every time. Ask before you touch anyone or join a conversation that's already going. Only an enthusiastic yes counts as yes.

  2. Respect the answer.

    If someone says no, not now, or isn't sure, accept it gracefully and don't pressure them, even playfully. Anyone can change their mind at any time without explaining why.

  3. Respect identities.

    Use the names and pronouns people share with you. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism, classism, body shaming, kink-shaming, and any other form of bigotry are not tolerated here.

  4. What's shared here stays here.

    Respect everyone's privacy: don't share names or personal stories outside this space without permission. Photos and videos are not allowed.

  5. Look out for each other.

    If something feels off or someone is bothering you, tell an organizer.

About us

Dupont Circle Munch is a social project rooted in building community, friendship and connection. We recognize that this gathering builds on a long legacy of LGBTQ+ community, activism and mutual care in DC, particularly here in Dupont Circle.

We honor those who came before us and made spaces like this possible, and those who did not have the freedom or ability to create spaces like these. That's why this one is open to everyone.
