LGBTQ+ Community Brunch @ Freddie's Beach Bar & Restaurant

This fun weekly event brings the DMV area LGBTQ+ community, including Allies, together for delicious food and conversation. About 10 usually attend. This delicious brunch is free to attend; you simply pay for whatever you order on your own separate credit card; there's no group tab to worry about. This is part of a new, exciting initiative on the part of Go Gay DC to support the local LGBTQ+ establishments on a regular basis.

Brunch starts at 11 a.m. at Freddie's Beach Bar & Restaurant, 555 23rd St. S, Arlington, Virginia 22202.

Most guests enjoy the all-you-can-eat buffet that includes a mimosa or coffee/tea or soft drink, and dessert, for only $14.99. Or order from the regular menu at https://www.freddiesbeachbar.com/menu
