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.
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.
Metro Directions: Be eco-friendly. Crystal City Metro 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!
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-friendly restaurant and bar. It offers Happy Hour daily from 4-7 pm. https://www.freddiesbeachbar.com/
There's no need to print out and show your Eventbrite ticket.
Remember to bring your ID, as everyone who wishes to drink alcohol is carded of course.
Black Tie Club International is a private social club for gay gentlemen. With chapters in over 15 cities, our members enjoy mixing and mingling over cocktails, exquisite dinners, and delicious wines. The events may be formal or casual. Membership is by invitation only although guests are always welcome at events.
The Metropolitan Washington, District of Columbia Chapter is celebrating its third decade as the premier social organization for accomplished, professional, and distinguished men in the District of Columbia, the Northern Virginia, and the Annapolis and Baltimore, Maryland areas.
The Metropolitan Washington, D.C. Chapter began with 22 Members in 1998 and has now some 40 Members. The peripatetic nature of Black Tie Club International Members is evidenced by the fact that many D.C. Chapter Members are now found in other Chapters such as Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Palm Springs, and Rehoboth Beach-Lewes. The Metropolitan Washington, D.C. Chapter also has been enhanced by Members from other Chapters, notably, Atlanta, Dallas, Palm Beach, Palm Springs, San Antonio, San Francisco, and Toronto.
Membership is by invitation only.
