DC Gay Men’s History Book Club

DC Gay Men’s History Book Club

Welcome! This is a book club based in Dupont Circle for gay men who share a passion for general history, biographies, and non-fiction.

While there are plenty of spaces for fiction, this club is dedicated to diving deep into major historical eras, world events, and political figures—all while building a great local community of history buffs in the DMV area. We keep things casual, intellectual, and welcoming.

Our First Meeting

• Date: Tuesday, November 10, 2026
• Time: 7:00 PM
• Location: Kramers All Day Restaurant (1517 Connecticut Ave NW) – We will be meeting in the restaurant/bar area directly attached to the bookstore.

Kickoff Book

• Title: Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation by Joseph J. Ellis.
• About the book: This Pulitzer Prize-winning classic focuses on the intense personal dynamics, backroom compromises, and bitter rivalries (including the infamous Hamilton-Burr duel) that shaped the infancy of the nation.

Hello everyone! This is a history book club for gay men in the DC area and I would love for you all to join!

We are having our first event on Tuesday, November 10th at 7 pm at Kramers All Day Restaurant in DuPont Circle and the first book we are going to cover is Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis (a relatively short book about major events during the founding era).

Please note that this group is for members 21 years old and older.
