Gay Social's Spritz & Soirée
Aperitivo Bar, 25 NJ-31, Pennington, NJ 08534, Pennington, NJ, USThis event is organized by Gay Social, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to fostering connections within our LGBTQ+ community through vibrant and inclusive social events.

Spritz and Soirée feels like stepping into a little slice of the Amalfi Coast in Mercer County. The space is bright, stylish, and built for lingering, the kind of place where people naturally gather around small tables, lean into conversation, and lose track of time.
This is a social night that leans into connection. Friends catch up, new conversations start easily, and it never feels awkward to join in. Whether you are settling into one good conversation or bouncing between a few, the room makes it feel natural.
It is welcoming, social, and easy to enjoy, especially if you like a night that is more about talking and connecting than standing in a loud crowd.

Reading Between the Lines is a book-centered gathering that brings the LGBTQ community together for thoughtful, group conversation. The book is chosen by past attendees, which helps shape each gathering into something that feels shared and community-driven from the start.
The discussion is open and welcoming, with people jumping in to share thoughts, listen, and connect through different perspectives. You do not need to be a fast reader or have every page finished to feel part of the conversation. Curiosity and openness go a long way here.
Our Community Managers and the owners of Howling Basset Books, welcome newcomers and help guide the discussion so everyone has space to participate.
