QMoB Queer Men's Coffee Klatch @ Dottie's (Pittsfield, MA)

Dottie's has been one of the best coffee house in the Central Berkshires for more than a decade and an extraordinary supporter of the queer community since it opened. Thanks to their recent doubling of their space and the addition of Dorothy's Q-MoB's monthly Queer Men's Coffee Klatch now has a reserved section where we can gather to eat, drink, and meet and get to know queer men from all over the region. Dorothy's brunch optons are delicious, as is their coffee.
