The Austin Central Library opens after hours to grown-ups only for an evening of fun and adventures. $10 tickets include 2 drink vouchers!
Unleash your playful side with drinks, games, and nonstop fun — all inside your favorite library!
This summer recess, join us at the Central Library for an evening packed with laughter, competition, and creativity. Kick off the night with hilarious improv from Hideout Theater, test your wits in Get it Games trivia, or get moving with Mad About Hoops’ hula hooping.
Enjoy beer and wine as you explore other fun offerings: dance through a silent disco, compete in Nintendo Switch tournaments featuring Mario Kart and Smash Bros, or challenge friends with oversized games like chess and Connect 4. Feel free to relax with classic cartoons or unleash your creativity at arts & crafts stations featuring friendship bracelets, spirographs, and origami.
Discover local clubs and organizations tabling throughout the event, and enjoy a night of community, connection, and play.
APL After Dark is a 21+ event. Dressing up is encouraged! Parking is available in the library garage, accessible via the Second Street entrance.
Thanks to the generous support of our sponsor, Zilker Brewing Co.!
