Pride Point Network - LGBTQ+ Professionals October Mixer

Join Pride Point Network on October 19th at Gossip Grill to connect with LGBTQ+ professionals and grow your network Join Pride Point Network for our October Mixer at Gossip Grill, one of the last lesbian bars left in the country and a Hillcrest institution built by and for queer women. Opened in 2009 by owner Moe Girton, Gossip Grill filled a real gap in the community after San Diego's earlier women's bars closed their doors, and has been a cornerstone of Hillcrest's queer nightlife ever since. The space is decked out in feminine inspired art and colorful lighting, with an evergreen outdoor patio and fire pits, serving up modern American comfort food alongside a full bar and a lively dance floor. For our October gathering, Pride Point Network will bring its signature intentional networking energy to this Hillcrest landmark. Attendees can connect with fellow professionals, creatives, and community leaders while enjoying drinks and bites, available for purchase directly from the venue. As one of the pillars of Hillcrest's queer nightlife, Gossip Grill has spent over 15 years building a space where queer and trans women are centered, not an afterthought. That spirit lines up naturally with Pride Point Network's mission to cultivate meaningful connections within the LGBTQ+ professional community. This month's mixer invites you to settle into one of Hillcrest's most storied spaces and engage in conversations that spark collaboration, opportunity, and community.
