Sapphic Pool Night

Sapphic Pool Night is the next stop for Sapphic Weekly ATX, taking place Thursday, September 17, from 8 PM to 10 PM at Slick Willie's Family Pool Hall on Burnet Road. It's a pool night for queer women, and the name tells you exactly what's on the table.

If you haven't come across them yet, Sapphic Weekly ATX is a rotating lesbian social club. Instead of holding court at one permanent spot, they move across the city, bringing Austin's lesbian and queer women's community together at different bars, lounges, and local spaces. The venue changes every week, which keeps things fresh and creates a consistent place for queer women of all backgrounds to meet new people, make friends, and find community. This particular night is laid-back and centered on pool and good company, aimed at sapphic, lesbian, queer, WLW, and LGBTQ+ women. It's more of a social hang than a high-energy party, so it's a good one if you're looking for something low-key.

The venue is Slick Willie's Family Pool Hall, located at 8440 Burnet Road in Midtown. It's a pool hall that's been around the block—it took home Readers Poll Best Pool Hall awards in 2017 and 1998, and Best Pool Tables in 2004, so the tables are well-regarded. It's a spacious spot, which works well for a night built around moving from table to table.

Entry is free, and the night runs from 8 PM to 10 PM on Thursday, September 17. It's 21+.
