AFA Thursday December 11th Munch and Tour!
2025-12-11 18:30 - 21:00 | Li Wah, 2999 Payne Avenue, Cleveland, OH, 44114, United States
Li Wah Chinese Restaurant, inside Asia Plaza. Enter via the south, Payne Ave entrance.
2999 Payne Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44114
The Academy Munch is a casual gathering of folks to simply enjoy good food and great conversation in a vanilla setting. While play parties are more exciting, there never seems to be as much time as we’d like to just sit, talk and really get to know other Academy members. The Academy Munch is a great place to do that.
This is also a perfect opportunity for new folks who want to see what kind of people are involved in the Cleveland Kink and Fetish Community. If you’ve been curious about The Academy-AFA or just kink, fetish and BDSM in general, then please join us. You probably have questions, and you’d like some answers. We look forward to meeting you and sharing some good information.
We can sit (we can be found at the round tables straight back from the hostess stand against the wall) and chat together and have a great meal at an excellent and authentic Chinese restaurant. You can have an “adult beverage” if you like, and get to know some of our amazing community members. After dining, there will be a quick drive over to The Academy, just a few blocks away, including a free guided tour for any who are interested in seeing the place with the lights (and clothing) on.
The munch and tour are both open to all individuals, regardless of membership or vaccination status. The Munch is free to attend of course. Just pay for what you eat and drink. The tour is complimentary also; because we’re proud to show off our space.

Please join us at:
Li Wah
2999 Payne Avenue,
Cleveland, OH 44114
Come into Asia Plaza via the South, Payne Ave entrance. Li Wah is just a short walk inside on the left. Otherwise, you’ll have to walk all the way through the mall. Inside the restaurant, as you walk in, we’ll probably be seated in the center up against the back wall. Just a diverse group of folks who actually look like they’re enjoying themselves. Join us and find out why!
