Tucked away in the back streets of Fitzroy is The Union Club Hotel. Located on the corner of Gore and Webb Streets, the Union is a landmark old school corner pub and a true local. Come and enjoy some great pub food with us and what's most likely going to be a cold winter's night. Hopefully they'll have their open fire going to add to the atmosphere. What are you waiting for? Still not sot sure? Why not check out their menu. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57288819859fd02147b4907a/t/69b274dca6e4da3a785a50c7/1773303004446/Union+menu+Mar+2026+Colour.pdf A $20 non refundable deposit is required for this event and will be refunded on the night. The deposit will be required 48 hours from RSVPing to the event or you will be moved removed from the event. Please make payment to the following account only if you are on the going list. BSB 013125 Account 150808654 Please let me know once payment is made. PLEASE USE YOUR NAME AND VENUE AS YOUR REFERENCE. Please only RSVP to an event if you fully intend to show. Pulling out of a dinner or another booked event (with a venue) on the day is a kick in the teeth for both the venue and the organiser. I understand there are instances where this is unavoidable, but you are short changing the venue on the revenue they are reliant upon, especially when it comes to paying their staff. It may be too late to rebook those tables with other patrons. Not to mention the stress this puts the organisers under. Please be considerate.

We will get-together at the KereKere cafe - at the community table just inside the cafe entrance. *This is a group for people with intermediate and advanced level French who are able to engage in a conversation en français.

And occasionally, if there is a game at the MCG for example there might not be much parking at all.

Don't miss this opportunity to see friends old and new while enjoying pizza that has become quite a hit in the DMV area! Andy's serves pizza by the slice and also wine by the glass or bottle. Two slices of pizza and a coke cost about $12. It all started with a ball of Trader Joe’s pizza dough. Over nearly a decade, Andy Brown has refined his recipe from semihomemade to a from-scratch crust that ferments for 72 hours before it’s baked in a hot stone oven. This location, in Kentlands, is the newest but Andy’s is quickly mushrooming around DC and NoVA. With its pliable crust, tangy tomatoes, and high-quality cheese, this is one of the most awarded pizzas in the DMV.

Attention everyone… Sofia, Patricia, and Stephanie have officially taken control of this Happy Hour. 😎🍸 Move over, boys. Your services are no longer required. The ladies are bringing the energy, the fun, the conversations, and the party vibes. If you’ve been looking for the perfect night to get out, meet great people, and have an amazing time, this is it. Rumor has it the ladies have been planning this takeover for months. Whether that’s true or not, one thing is certain: This is going to be one of the most fun happy hours of the summer.

SSB Happy Hour isn’t just drinks, it’s where strangers become regulars and regulars become friends. Every HH, we’re building something simple but real: good people, great conversation, and a table that always has room for one more. Pull up. Feel the difference.

Let's try something new for the wine loving bikers in our group. Biking is optional! For those that want to bike first, we will be posting as a separate meetup. We will meet down by the W&OD trail at 10:45, weather permitting. Then after an invigorating trail ride, we will meet our friends right up the road at the winery at 1:00. The Barns at Hamilton Station is on 11 beautiful acres with a restored 1910 wood bank barn transformed into the unique tasting room. Their wines are Bordeaux French style using carefully selected Virginia grapes. They will have live music starting at 2:00. We are hoping for good weather to sit outside at their picnic tables. Outside food is allowed outside only. If the weather is bad, we will move it inside and leave our food at home. Otherwise bring a picnic to share.

Join Social Sips & Bites for our Wednesday Happy Hour. Great drinks, easy conversation, new faces, familiar faces, and that signature SSB energy that turns a simple night out into something memorable. https://www.capitalonecenter.com/the-perch
