Farewell to Summer Soiree @ Sam Beckett’s Gastropub

Join us for our Farewell to Summer Soiree at Sam Beckett’s Irish Pub. Socialize with friends and savor Irish-themed food and drink. Don a maxi dress, sundress with cardigan or wrap, or an outfit with summer-inspired colors or accessories, and join us in wishing summer a fond farewell. Dress to impress as always.

Sam Beckett's management is excited to host us again. We’ve had 30 to 50 guests at our previous events here. Beckett's has an intimate atmosphere, yet they can accommodate up to 70 of us!

As was the case last time, we will be getting separate checks and ordering off their standard dinner menu. The price range is moderate. Check out a typical dinner menu here: https://samuelbecketts.com/

Although the event states an end time of 11 p.m. this is not a hard limit since Beckett's is usually open to as late as 1 a.m. Everyone is free to mingle and chat after 11:00 p.m. -- and we definitely hope you do!

Guests
Significant others of members are welcome! Please be sure to include them as your +1 when you RSVP. Please RSVP soonest as we need to update the venue with our numbers one week prior to the event.

Attire
We want to reinforce the goodwill produced at our previous events, so we expect everyone to wear attire appropriate for a mainstream space. We take pride in the variety of ensembles ladies display while maintaining our tasteful and chic individual style. No fetish wear, please.

If you’re looking to get your Soiree makeup professionally applied, our very own Elizabeth Taylor (Beth) will be offering makeup makeovers at her studio in Takoma Park, MD (https://makeoverswithelizabethtaylor.com). Other makeover artists are listed on our discussion board.

Bring your smartphones and cameras, and take pics to share on our meetup site. (Please be mindful that some ladies are adverse to being photographed so if in doubt ask first.)

Parking
Shirlington has extensive, free, garage parking on weekends and evenings. Our preferred parking facility is the Quincy St. Garage at 2901 S Randolph St, Arlington, VA 22206. There's a staircase to Randolph Street on the NW corner of the garage. This garage is just a two-minute walk to the pub and has ample parking on all levels.

Drop-off Location & Entrance
The entrance to Sam Beckett’s is located on Campbell Street across from the Peet’s Coffee even though the address is 2800 S Randolph St. If you are getting dropped off, please use 4150 Campbell Avenue for closer access to the front door.

Feeling nervous?
If you'd like someone to meet you at your car and walk in with you, that is no problem! Just text Beth at 202-803-3231, and she (or another member) will come out to walk you in and introduce you to the other ladies.

Lodging
The Hilton Garden Inn in Shirlington has rooms usually available starting at $154 + tax. We don't have any special rate negotiated with the hotel, so check out your discount options online when you book, e.g., use hotel chain points, AAA and AARP membership discounts, pay now discounts, or volume booking sites like Expedia, etc. It's just a two-minute walk from the hotel to the pub!
