Dottie's has been 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 legendary, as is their coffee.

WEATHER: Generally we will only cancel if there is a Winter Weather Advisory that recommends people not drive or if the Coffee House lets us know they need to close. We ask all registrants to let us know your cell phone number so that if in the unlikely event there is an unexpected weather emergency that forces us to cancel, we can inform you promptly. Generally the Town is efficient at plowing & salting, so small amounts of snow will not affect us.
DONATIONS & S CHOLARSHIPS: When you register please make a tax deductible donation to help Q-MoB keep all of its 25 monthly events accessible to all men, regardless of their income, age, or geographical isolation. Scholarships cannot be guaranteed and depend on the generosity of Q-MoB members.
CARPOOLING/RIDE-SHARE: If you need a ride or are open to carpooling, please indicate that when you are registering, & our ride coordinator will try to match you with people nearby who are interested in carpooling or offering rides.
INFO: I f on the day of the event you cannot join us or have trouble finding the group, please text the co-host Jared at 508-450-1427 or Bart at 503-734-6508.
