About this Event
QIN 2025 is Here, Queers!
Queer Industry Night is celebrating our 5th year as your favorite Service Industry Pride Party, and we're bringing to where it all began. Join us at the newly minted There/There (in the former Friends & Family space) to bless the bar with queer industry love!
As always, we've got a stacked team of LGBTQ+ bartenders from the The Bay's best bars and music from some of the best queer DJs in the scene, right back in the space where QIN first came to life in 2021.
This year, 50% of ticket proceeds are donated to- a donation recipient of QIN proceeds since 2023, The mission of Lyon-Martin Community Health Services is to provide high quality, compassionate and trauma-informed medical, gynecological, and mental health care services targeting trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and intersex (TGI) communities and cis-gender women with specific sensitivity to LGBQA+ sexual orientation, disability, size, race, ethnicity, and language regardless of immigration status or ability to pay. Our donations are matched 1:1 by our brand sponsors, doubling our impact!

Housekeeping:
This event is open to all members of the LGBTQ+ community, with a focus on those who work in the service industry at large. If you're not in service but you feel like partying on a Monday, we'll see you there too!
Allies are welcome to attend with LGBTQ+ friends or partners, but we encourage our allies to remember that "showing up" means more than just taking up space! We suggest choosing "Sponsor a Ticket" and purchasing a ticket for a community member in need, or covering a queer coworker's shift so that they can attend this event.
