First Friday LGBTQ+ Social @ The Commentary

Meet LGBTQ+ folk and make meaningful new connections. Reserve your spot for free on Eventbrite so we have an accurate guest count. The first 100 to RSVP will get in. This signature social event happens monthly and brings together LGBTQ+ folk from all over the DMV and the world! Better yet, there is no cover.

This free to attend social event is ideal for making new friends, casual professional networking, idea-sharing, and community building. Or just unwind and enjoy the extended happy hour specials.

The Commentary is all about coming together and connecting in conversation and shared experiences. It is the hotel restaurant/bar lounge located inside the Westin Arlington Gateway, 801 N Glebe Rd, Arlington, VA 22203. See map.

You can still enter from the hotel side; but, you will see an entrance dedicated solely to The Commentary.

The Commentary is attached to the Westin hotel, and complimentary hotel parking is available in the hotel garage. After parking, simply go to the hotel front desk, say you are there for the social, and ask to have your parking ticket validated.

This free to attend social is hosted by Go Gay DC, which is Metro Washington DC's LGBTQ+ community focused on friendship, leadership, and service. For more fun events like this, visit https://www.meetup.com/GoGayDC

Go Gay DC Leader TJ Flavell will be there to greet you.

We hope you can make it! You may arrive at any time that's convenient for you.

If you wish to dine there, the menu is All American eatery infusing East Coast ingredients with a West Coast flair. Of course the staff still will be fabulous. See the menu.
