Gesellig is also used for occasions, like a geselliger Abend as also listed on the Leo link. In Switzerland it's sometimes also used for places like a geselliges Restaurant. From that perspective I use the German word in pretty much the same way.
Side note: The adjective likely comes from "Gesellschaft," which can mean "society" but also "company."
