Baltimore Sports, Social Events, Hiking, and More!

This is going to be a very unique happy hour, so please read the description completely. Come sign the wall, play pool, listen to a 30 yr old jukebox, or leave your bra on the ceiling lol. I have wanted to go back to Irv's and enjoy drinks on the water, and this is my excuse :) I really can't do this place justice, so posting reviews in case you want to learn more

Irv's Bar is the most unique bar in Maryland, and maybe the entire country. It is a basement bar, in Irv's house, that he has owned and bartended at since 1962, and did I mention he is 103? It is about as "local" bar as any bar could be. It is CASH [ONLY...and](http://only...and/) come expecting basic beer options and simple mixed drinks...but what it lacks in mixology it more than makes up for in Americana charm!

Due to the nature of the bar (the bartender is 103) there could be a chance it wont be open (it's worth the risk)
- Enjoy a very unique, and last of its kind, piece of American history.

This will be a fun chill game allowing you to return to those simpler days of youth, anyone can play.....and to remind you that you're still an adult I will bring the beer and sodas :)

⚾ Adult Wiffle Ball Showdown: Where Legends Are Questionable and Muscles Are Optional
Ready to relive your backyard glory days… but with slightly creakier knees and stronger opinions about stretching? Join us for an epic Adult Wiffle Ball Meetup—a highly competitive, mostly serious, occasionally coordinated athletic event. We will play a 9ish inning game of 10-on-10 Wiffle Ball...and maybe make a side bet where the losing team buys the first round of cheap beer :)
What to Expect:

• Dramatic home runs that travel a majestic 37 feet
• Pitchers who insist that was “definitely a curveball”
• Outfielders rediscovering muscles they forgot existed
• Strategic time-outs for hydration, snacks, and life reflection

Skill Level:
All levels welcome! Whether you were a Little League MVP or someone who mostly remembers holding a juice box, you’ll fit right in.
Official Rules (loosely enforced):

1. Trash talk must remain funny and mildly self-deprecating.
2. If you pull a muscle, you automatically become team coach.
3. Spectacular failures will be celebrated with applause.
4. Anyone who brings snacks is immediately team captain.

What to Bring:

• Yourself
• A sense of humor 😄
• Comfortable clothes for light athletic activity (or enthusiastic standing)
• Optional: lawn chairs, drinks (adult version welcomed), and your best “I almost had it!” excuse

Why You Should Come:
Because adulthood shouldn’t mean giving up ridiculous fun, plastic bats, and arguing over whether that was totally a foul ball.
Come swing, laugh, and prove once and for all that athletic greatness is at least 40% confidence and 60% pretending you meant to do that. ⚾🎉

Brews on First player (and TV celeb) Tara had a member of her Volo kickball team pass from a shooting last year, and Volo is having a charity game in his honor. We would love for all of you to join her, and Volo, in celebrating his life by playing some chill/fun kickball. Information for the game is below...you can REGISTER HERE

## Play for Joe: Memorial Kickball Tournament and More!

Join us for a special day on the field as we honor the memory of Joe Aman, a cherished member of our community and a true friend to everyone in the league. Joe’s passion for the game and his ability to bring people together are the inspiration for this event.

In the spirit of Joe’s inclusive nature and his many friendships across the league, we’re doing things a little differently. To keep the competition fun and fair, all participants will register individually, and teams will be assigned onsite. This ensures a mix of old friends and new teammates, just the way Joe would have wanted it.

All players are encouraged to dress creatively to honor Joe: jorts encouraged.

###

### Event Details (subject to change):

• Format: Mixed-team memorial tournament. Teams will play round robin to determine a champion, but no teams will be eliminated during the process. Between games, there will be mini games and raffles.
• Awards: Special recognitions will be made to individual players and teams at the conclusion of the tournament. Anticipated awards will include Best Dressed, Goofiest Pitch, Sneakiest Baserunner, etc.
• Fundraising: Registrants are kindly encouraged to consider contributing a donation of any amount to the Volo Kids Foundation as part of their registration. Donations can be made at the bottom of the screen or through this link
• Registration: Sign up as an individual to be placed on a balanced team.

Come out to celebrate a great friend, play some kickball, and keep Joe’s legacy of sportsmanship and friendship alive.

If you can only make one Happy Hour this year you should TOTALLY GO to that one, but if you can make two Happy Hours this year you don't want to miss this one! I have been doing this for a long time, and I thought I would have one more for nostalgia sake, we no longer get 500 people like the Bay Cafe days, but it will still be a good time :)
I hope you will join us for this annual kickoff to a Summer of fun and friends!!! :).
I have hosted this annual event at Bay Cafe, Little Havana, and Cancun Cantina, Union Brewery, and after getting feedback people have requested I move it back to Union Brewery so that parking it less on an issue...so move it back I shall...looking forward to seeing everyone there :)
