About this Event

This fun annual event brings the DMV area LGBTQ+ community, including Allies, together for delicious food and conversation. Make meaningful new connections. About 10 LGBTQ+ folk 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. We will gather on the front, heated patio.

We gather @ Freddie's Beach Bar & Restaurant. The brunch starts at 11 a.m. at Freddie's Beach Bar & Restaurant, 555 23rd St. S, Arlington, Virginia 22202.

Order the all-you-can-eat buffet that includes 4 champagnes or mimosas. Or 1 Bloody Mary. Desserts (pastries, donuts) and cereal displayed on the piano are included with the buffet brunch. Only $29.99 ($5 off if you attended the NYE party at Freddie's). Or order off the regular menu https://www.freddiesbeachbar.com/menu .

This event is hosted by Go Gay DC, Metro Washington DC's inclusive LGBTQ+ community focused on friendship, leadership, and service. It now reaches over 10K fabulous people and is growing fast. For more fun events like this, visit https://www.gogaydc.com

Parking is usually available nearby on the residential side streets.

Metro Directions: Be eco-friendly. Crystal City Metro on the Yellow/Blue lines is the closest Metro stop. 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!

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').
