DTLA Chess Club is taking a field trip to Pals.

Join us for a night of chess, cocktails, and good people — where strategy meets social. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just learning your first moves, this is a low-pressure, high-vibe space to sit down, play a few games, and connect.

Chess clubs in LA have become less about silence and more about community — think drinks in hand, music in the background, and a room full of “cool nerds” making moves on and off the board.

We’re bringing that energy to Pals.

♟️ What to Expect

• Open play — all levels welcome

• Boards provided (just show up)

• Casual drop-in format — come and go as you please

• Cocktails, wine, and low-ABV options flowing all night

• A social, welcoming crowd — not your typical quiet chess room

🍸 The Vibe
