About the event
Please note that Go Gay DC is listing this exciting event as a community courtesy, but is not running the event. Just go and have a fun time!

Mingle with other gentlemen. Casual attire is perfectly fine. Festive attire encouraged. (Black tie is optional at the Freddie's events.) This casual happy hour is open to gentlemen interested in learning more about Black Tie Club; it's expressly not a members-only event.
Meet with members of the Washington, DC area chapter of Black Tie Club, as well as with invited guests and friends for our Happy Hour social mixer at Freddie's Beach Bar and Restaurant (23rd Street Crystal City). Happy Hour cocktails and gratis hors d’oeuvres will be served.
The event is free to attend; you simply pay for whatever your drinks and or meal on your own on separate credit card; there's no group tab to worry about.
Afterwards, consider joining the group as we wander half a block over to Federico's for a no-host fabulous Italian dinner. All are invited!
At least 20 gentlemen are expected. Enjoy the cash or credit bar drinks. Just ask the bartender what the happy hour specials are.
Be eco-friendly. Crystal City Metro is the closest Metro stop. Use Metro Trip Planner: https://www.wmata.com/schedules/trip-planner/
When you arrive, go out the station, walk towards your left to 18th Street and then veer right and walk under the Route 1 overpass to Eads St. Turn left and walk to 23rd Street. Turn right. Freddie's is up 23rd Street just a block. Just look for the rainbow flags on the right side of the street!
Parking is usually available nearby on the residential side streets.
Freddie's was voted the Best Virginia Bar by Washington Blade readers. Don't like a smoky bar? You are covered: Freddie's is a smoke-free establishment. (Ashtrays are provided in back of the building if smoking is 'your thing').
Freddie's is an LGBTQ+, straight-friend
