First Friday LGBTQ+ Community Social @ The Commentary

Join us and see all the wonderful new amenities at The Commentary 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. 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.

The Commentary is all about coming together and connecting in conversation and shared experiences.

Happy hour specials are in effect until 9 p.m. The Commentary is attached to the Westin hotel.

You may still enter from the hotel side; but, you will see an entrance dedicated solely to The Commentary. If you wish to dine there, the menu is All American eatery infusing East Coast ingredients with a West Coast flair.

Come join us. Bring your friends and make new ones!
