From New Gay Friends
4.6

Hi New Gay Friends, This month we will be heading back to the summer favorite, the Bohemian Beer Garden (29-19 24th Ave) in Astoria.🌞🍺 It will be on **Wednesday, August 19th, starting at 6:30pm**. The venue is just a short subway ride into Queens from Manhattan, only a 5 min walk from the subway, and is the largest outdoor drinking space in NYC!🌞 Some notes about the venue: * They have a full bar, not just beer🍺 * They accept cash or cards * They serve food in addition to drinks * The venue does have an indoor area. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, the meetup will still go on, we’ll just move indoors! * Dogs are welcome outdoors here; feel free to bring any well-behaved dogs! * There will not be a cover We hope you can join us to enjoy the weather, socialize, and to hopefully make some new gay friends! The meetup is sure to last at least a few hours. As always, all are welcome!🏳️‍🌈 We ask that you please remember to keep your RSVP current; if you're unable to attend, please update it accordingly. When the event starts I will post in the event to let attendees know where they can find us. Either reach out with a dm or post in the event with any questions. Hope to see you there!🌞🍺 Joe
