Dirty Water, San Francisco
5 PM, All Ages
Donation
Are you ready for the most fabulous mixer in all the land? Our last LGBTQ mixer attracted over 200 of the Bay Area’s finest, and we had so much fun.
We introduced you to the fantastic new club Oasis last time, now we’re headed to Dirty Water, the very glamorous new bar and restaurant located right inside the Twitter building!
As usual we’ll have festive name tags to help you get your mingling on, and be sure to follow-us on facebook for networking tips and other delightful musings.
You may just meet your new love or land your dream job.
This is a fundraiser for Equality Federation, so please let the holiday spirit move you toward generosity.
Be sure to order an equalitini! A percentage of the sales of the equalitini will benefit our organization, but all other food and drink sales will not.
Equality Federation has worked with our partners to defeat over 100 anti-LGBTQ bills in 2015, and sadly there is so much more work to do. Many of us in San Francisco come from communities where we still need to win equality -that’s what we are all about.
Thank you so much for your support and good cheer!
Drakes Brewing Co., San Leandro
10:30 AM, All Ages
$30
This holiday season Drake’s is partnering with the good folks at SLPD who are helping to raise money for the Bikes for Tykes program that purchases new bikes and helmets for hundreds of needy kids in San Leandro & Oakland. Join us at Drake’s Barrel House on December 6th for a Sunday brunch of cold beer and hotcakes to help support the cause.
A killer all-you-can-eat brunch lineup crafted by Executive Chef, Nat McGowan will be served and we’ll tap a fresh new breakfast beer that’s smokey & salty with subtle maple notes. We’ll also be featuring specialty casks of Drake’s Oaklander Weisse; a Berlinerweisse with various fruit syrups, alongside a cask of Jolly Rodger infused with orange peel.
We’ll be serving brunch hot buffet-style between 10:30am – 2:00pm, so you can roll outta bed and in to Drake’s anytime during that time frame. Tickets include all you can eat brunch, 2 drinks (beer of your choice or Highwire coffee), and a warm fuzzy feeling because all proceeds from the beer brunch go to benefit kids who are in need of some extra help.
