#OCHappyHour @ Hive & Honey (Irvine Spectrum)

Back story: Hive & Honey used to be one of our most popular venues. In fact, we had our biggest pre-COVID event EVER at Hive & Honey (which was on March 7th, 2020, just a few days before the lockdown started). Anyway, this place is beautiful. It's my favorite venue in Orange County, and I'm thrilled to get it back on our calendar.

Note #1: If you feel sick or unwell in ANY way, please stay home. If you have a cough, cold, fever, or if you're sneezing or have a runny nose, it's best to stay home until your symptoms have passed.

Note #2: There will be an automatic 20% service fee added to all bar tabs, so please check your bill before signing off. I had to sign a contract to get this reservation, so I understand why they're doing this (because I didn't have to do a "guaranteed minimum" thankfully), but I certainly don't want anyone paying tip twice.

Note #3: They're providing a discounted $15 valet fee for anyone who wants to park right at the hotel. Personally, I'll be parking across the street at the business park, but that's obviously up to you.

Are you an OC working professional in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or 50s? Come join us for another #OCHappyHour at Hive & Honey near the Irvine Spectrum. It's on the 16th floor of the Marriott Hotel.

This group was formed on July 18th, 2018. Group membership as of 03/27 was 11,626 people, and this will be our 292nd event!

As a group, we have just one objective: Meet new people! Come join us and bring a friend. This group is thriving because we have great people and great energy. So invite someone along. I'll do my best to introduce you (and them) to everyone.

Curious how many people will attend? We usually get 60% of the RSVP count actually showing up, so 100 RSVPs normally results in about 60 people in attendance.

Also, just to be clear, you don't have to be there by 6:00 PM. That's just when it starts. That's when I will be there, but feel free to come whenever you're available. Come at 6:30. Come at 7:00. Come at 7:30. We'll be there until at least 9:00 or 9:30.

Social Media: Please take photos at our events and post them to Instagram and Facebook! Tag them with #OCHappyHour and we'll add the best ones to our Meetup Group as well. We've had some awesome events, and it would be great to have a bunch of photos that we can all share with each other.

DUIs: Please drink responsibly! These events are getting better and better, but drinking & driving could make them WORSE very quickly. Uber and Lyft are cheap and convenient. Please take precautions to ensure you get home safe and sound after our events.

Be good to each other! #OCHappyHour
