You are invited to join us after work, Wednesday, August 5, 2015 @ Ebenezer Ale House, for our multi-group member Happy Hour and get together for all of our new and existing members.

Since its opening in 2011, the Ebenezer Ale House has quickly become not only one of the best restaurants in West Seneca, but also the authority on craft beer in the Buffalo region. Owners Nate Springer and Shawn Schweis have worked tirelessly to create a destination that all can enjoy.

The Ebenezer Ale House features the perfect marriage of a mouth-watering menu and one of the best beer selections in Western New York. With everything from bronzed, bacon wrapped shrimp to delicious specialty pizzas, their menu is broad enough for everyone to find something they can enjoy. The beer is always flowing with 21 constantly-rotated taps including many hard-to-find flavors. Alongside many other countless bottles of craft beer and plenty of special events, the Ebenezer Ale House is the premier craft beer connoisseur in all of Western New York.

Open every day for lunch and dinner, Ebenezer Ale House is also home to the best happy hour in the Southtowns. Featuring $3 craft drafts and select half priced appetizers, it is the perfect spot to kick back and relax after work.

Nate and Shawn are looking to bring a great dining and craft beer experience to all of Western New York. Be sure to visit their other locations in Eden and Akron (coming soon).

I will arrive at 5:00 p.m. I will provide instructions with the Maître d’ and bartenders, so ask them and they can help you identify our group. Our Meetup officially starts @ 5:27 p.m., so feel free to get there early and mingle by the bar. Weather pending we will have exclusive space outside on the patio, and if it rains, we will be under the atrium. If you are a new member, or generally shy, this is a great mixer event. As per most of our Summer events, this event is definitely more geared toward those members that need to unwind and have a great time, while still mingling with a energetic group of dynamic personalities and fellow urban professionals.

Feel free to invite a co-worker, friend or potential business client along to the social as well, and be sure to RSVP with integrity. I look forward to seeing you out at the Ebenezer Ale House!!!
