Brews & Boos Happy Hour — How It Went

Happy hour with a Halloween spirit. On October 20 the Taproom filled with members and open-house guests for a drink, good company and a little seasonal mischief, with a few costumes making an appearance and Sonder Brewing on tap for everyone else.

Brews & Boos was how Revelance kicked off spooky season, and it did the job.

Members, Guests and a Little Mischief

Happy hours at Revelance work because the bar is already here. There is no venue to rent, no minimum to hit, no event markup on the beer. The Taproom just opens its doors a little wider, members bring a guest, and the room fills with people who already have the building in common.

Brews & Boos added the seasonal layer: decorations, a theme to dress for if you wanted to, and the particular energy of an October evening when the work week is not quite over but nobody is pretending to care.

The costume turnout was voluntary and mixed, which is the right ratio for a business club: enough to make the night feel like an occasion, not so much that anyone who came straight from a client meeting felt out of place. The decorations did the rest.

Conversation followed its usual Taproom pattern. Members introduced guests to other members, a few business cards changed hands without anyone making a production of it, and the people who came for one drink were still there for a second.

An Open House Without the Sales Pitch

The happy hour doubled as an open house for invited guests, and that is the best way to see Revelance. A tour on a quiet afternoon shows you the rooms. A happy hour shows you the club: the bar working, members talking, the building full of the people who make it what it is. More than a few memberships start with an evening like this one.

Several guests also asked about the holiday calendar, which is the other reason to invite people in October. Jingle & Mingle, the Hops & Holly Holiday Market and company holiday parties in the Revel Room were all topics at the bar before the night ended.

Why Revelance Hosts Events Like This

Revelance is a private business club, and the Taproom is the heart of it. Monthly happy hours and seasonal nights give members a reason to come downstairs at the end of the day and give guests an honest look at what membership feels like.

Jingle & Mingle is the next one on the events calendar. If you would like to host your own holiday happy hour here, the private event inquiry form is the place to start.
