Dudes Dining & Destinations

🌈 Dudes, Dining & Destinations Presents: Pride, Prime Cuts & Good Company 🍷🥩

📅 Saturday, June 28 | 🕔 5:00 PM | 📍 The Polo Room, Sam’s Steakhouse – St. Louis

It’s Pride Month, it’s been 56 years since Stonewall, and 56 years since Judy Garland took her final bow. In a year when our community continues to face challenges, this evening isn’t just about steak — it’s about coming together with people who understand your journey.
Whether your story began in the disco days or during a quiet late-night Google search, every one of us remembers those early moments — the coming out, the laughter, the risks, the joy, the chosen family. This is a night to reflect, reconnect, and raise a glass to how far we’ve come — and to each other.

We’ll be dining in the elegant Polo Room at Sam’s Steakhouse, one of St. Louis’ premier institutions. Normally reserved for high-end private events, this space has been gifted to us in the spirit of Pride — thanks to some gracious hospitality and maybe just a little DDD charm.

Yes, this event has a slightly higher cost — but it’s worth every cent. It’s Pride Month. It’s a memory in the making.

### Why You Should Join Us:

• 🌈 Celebrate Your Journey – Pride is about your truth, your past, and your place at the table.
• 🥩 Steak at Its Finest – Rich, perfectly aged prime cuts, indulgent sides, and decadent desserts.
• 🏰 The Polo Room is Ours – A polished, private space where connection happens.
• 🍸 Come As You Are – Whether you order a cocktail, a mocktail, or just dive into the bread basket — you’re welcome here.
• 👬 Real Men, Real Pride – Our group is genuine, warm, diverse, and full of great stories. Just like you.

Dress code? Wear your best. Add glitter if you dare. Just no muscle shirts… unless they’re rhinestoned and Cher-approved with notarization. (We’re not kidding. Okay, maybe a little.)

Sharing our stories, understanding one another, and embracing what makes each of us unique — I wouldn’t want to celebrate Pride with anyone else but the Dudes Dining & Destinations family.
Because when you’re with us, you’re not just a friend… you’re a friend of Dorothy. 😉

Mike & Dave have been part of our Dudes Dining & Destinations crew since late 2024 — and it’s been a real treat getting to know them!

Now, completely on their own (no bribes, no arm-twisting!), they’ve graciously invited the D-3 family out to their home for an afternoon backyard barbecue. And get this — they’re providing all the food that makes a barbecue complete!

It’s shaping up to be a relaxing afternoon full of food, laughs, and good company — exactly what the D-3 community is all about.

We’ll get things fired up starting at 2:00 PM. Their place is just outside Troy, Missouri — and let’s be real… I know you’ve driven further for a lot less exciting things!

Don’t sit at home watching the photos roll in — be in the photos. Don’t be a FOMO… be a YES!

We hope to see you there!

I’ll be honest—this brunch was our very first dining event of 2024, and it was a hit! But truthfully, it feels like the kind of experience that really shines in the summertime.

Join us for a return to Brasilia Bar & Restaurant, where Dudes Dining & Dives kicked off the year. For $31.95, enjoy a one-of-a-kind brunch that blends the familiar—eggs, bacon, and more—with Brazilian-inspired soups, salads, and sides. And yes, they’ll carve Picanha (Brazilian steak) and grilled pineapple tableside.
Craving a Mimosa or Bloody Mary? Their full bar has you covered.

Important: I’ll need an accurate headcount for this one. I’m putting down a credit card to secure the reservation, so please make sure your RSVP is correct. Accuracy really matters here—thanks!
