Retro Game Night
21+
Thursday, June 18
Doors: 6 pm
Upstairs @ Ottobar
Retro Game Night has officially hit its one‑year mark, and we couldn’t have done it without you! From the first button mash to the last boss battle, your energy and support have kept this event alive and thriving. This milestone belongs to everyone who’s come out to play, and we’re beyond grateful for the community that’s grown around it.
To celebrate, we’re leveling up with a special goth‑infused collaboration with Protoplasm, bringing late‑night vibes and their signature sound to the chaos of retro gaming.
On deck for the night: Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Power Stone 2, Bomberman, plus plenty more favorites spanning Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation, Xbox, and arcade systems. Whether you’re racing, brawling, or blowing up mazes, there’s something for every retro fan. We’re celebrating ’til 2 AM!
Feel free to bring your own games, systems, controllers, board games, and whatever else you enjoy!

TONIGHT! Come celebrate the two year anniversary of beloved local institution QUEERAOKE!
🏳️🌈HAPPY PRIDE🏳️⚧️
Quoth @aasc.baltimore -> QUEERAOKE returns in June at @ottoupstairs with a special Pride edition hosted as always by @pstorbmore and @aasc.baltimore
This month is also extra special as it is our 2 year anniversary! For two years we’ve managed to raise a minimum of $500 a month for families suffering under the ongoing atrocities in Palestine. This month we’re trying to go big and double up on our donation goal, hoping that we can pull $1000 together to help those who need it most.
This event is free to attend as always, however donations are greatly appreciated! Mask up, wear drag (optional) and come out and be in community with us! We’ll have karaoke bingo with some rad new prizes, and lots more!
