When We Were Wild Wednesdays brings a recurring midweek party to Gold Spike's downtown playground atmosphere. The event taps into that carefree, uninhibited energy its name suggests—think less buttoned-up Vegas and more loose, social vibes where the oversized backyard games and craft cocktails set the stage for a different kind of Wednesday night out.

The venue's casual setup works perfectly for this kind of weekly gathering, with the outdoor space and giant games creating natural conversation starters between strangers. It's the kind of night where you might find yourself in an unexpectedly competitive game of giant Jenga with people you just met, or dancing under string lights while a DJ spins something that makes you forget it's a weeknight. The crowd tends to skew younger and local, with a mix of industry folks and downtown regulars who appreciate having a consistent midweek spot that doesn't take itself too seriously.
