**Make new friends while enjoying a drink or two in a warm and welcoming space!** 🥂🥃 **FREE event!** 🤗 **Diesel Bar and Eatery** is a slick, two-level Manhattan style bar with a 1920s feel – the perfect venue for some after work Fri-yay drinks and mingling, We'll be located upstairs around the bar and there are some billiard tables nearby if you feel like a friendly game or two. If you happen to get there earlier, they offer a pretty great happy hour (5-7pm). You can also enjoy a selection of bar bites throughout the night.
