🍀 St. Patrick’s Day Celebration at Freewheel in Redwood City! 🍀

Hi all, just a few reminders as we get closer to the event. This one is going to be pretty crowded. The band is slated to be outdoors this time, weather permitting, so that will make indoors a bit easier, but it'll still be a full house. Remember to change your rsvp status as soon as you realize your plans have changed. It helps us to plan and to give the restaurant an accurate headcount for table reservations. Please plan to order food and drinks so we are supporting Freewheel, a venue that has been so generous and kind to us. This isn't the first time they've made special exceptions for New Beginnings and I really want to reward them with another positive experience. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

You walk in, spot familiar faces, chairs slide closer, and within minutes you’re laughing like the week just got lighter. That’s usually how our St. Patrick’s gatherings begin — easy, welcoming, and full of good company.

As the Irish say, “May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.” For one evening, Freewheel Brewing Company becomes exactly that kind of place.

👉 Our St. Patrick’s gatherings are usually well attended, so early RSVPs help us plan space with the venue.
