​Some nights you don't want to be alone. But you also don't feel like being "on."

​Somber Nights is a dimly lit, intentional evening built around music, reflection, and low-pressure connection. For heartbreak, burnout, grief, loneliness, or just a heavier day than usual.

​Here's what you'll find at Somber Nights:

​🌙 Dim lighting at Cafe La Maze, a 1940s Hollywood-era steakhouse in National City.

​🌙 Live music by Omar Lopez + ENDRY

​🌙 Somber Sounds by Imanni (@uwantaqua) taking us through the rest of the night

​🌙 The Writing Station with all the materials you need to put down what you haven't said out loud

​🌙 The Deep End, conversation and reflection cards on every table

​🌙 Take What You Need Station, little notes from the universe for wherever you are tonight, books, and more things to hold on to

​🌙 The Discovery Tower, 8ft tall walls and a place to share and connect with others

​🌙 Psychic readings by Marlena Gabrielle of True Psychic Insights (@truepsychicinsightssd)*

​🌙 A wristband system so you never have to say out loud whether you want to talk or not

​🌙 A signature cocktail, a non-alcoholic version of it, and a beer and wine selection

​You don't have to do any of it. That's the whole point.

​Come alone. Come with a friend. Come in the middle of something hard. There's a seat here for you exactly as you are.

​Not a party. Not therapy. Something in between. 🌙
