First Friday LGBTQ+ Community Social @ P.F. Chang's

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. There also is no group tab to worry about; order whatever you want on you own.

This fun event will be held at P.F. Chang's, which is literally only a few steps away from The Westin. We've arranged much better drink specials and complimentary validated parking (at the Arlington Gateway entrance/exit on the North Fairfax Drive side closest to the restaurant on N. Vermont Street. Simply validate at the host desk.) The venue also offers a variety of optional and exciting food options just in case you are hungry, a complete win-win!

Join us and see all the wonderful new amenities at P.F. Chang's and catch up with each other. This event is ideal for making new friends, professional networking, idea-sharing, and community building. Or just unwind and enjoy the extended happy hour.

P.F. Chang's is all about coming together and connecting in conversation and shared experiences. It takes pride in bringing life to every dish through the ancient art of wok cooking. Grounded in the rich flavors of Asian cuisine and presented with a modern twist, purposeful ingredients elevate each of the expertly crafted recipes. See the menu: https://www.pfchangs.com/menu
