DTLA Chess First Fridays

Join us for our monthly shindig at Pals bar in Chinatown for chess, cocktails, and live music! Chess starts at 6 and goes until they throw us out at midnight, so show up any time. Live music from 8-11 pm, starting with Bach et al cello selections from 8-9 and instrumental Hip Hop/R&B from 9-11. King of the hill-style blitz tournament starts at 7:30. Entry is free, just sign up on-site. As always, there is no cover charge, no membership required, and beginners are welcome. * Parking validation is available (garage entrance on Broadway).
