The Monthly E=PW Happy Hour
Location: The Roadhouse (formerly Bungalow Alehouse)
2840 Prince William Pkwy
Woodbridge, VA 22192
Wednesday, 15 July 2026 — 6:00 – 8:00 pm
Join Equality Prince William for our July Happy Hour at The Roadhouse!
After an incredible (and very busy!) Pride Month filled with festivals, proclamations, community events, advocacy, and celebrations, it’s time to slow down, catch our breath, and reconnect.
Take a break from the summer heat, the rainy weather, and the hectic pace of life. Come enjoy good food, refreshing drinks, great conversation, and the company of friends—both old and new—in a welcoming and affirming space.
Whether you’re a longtime member, a first-time guest, or simply looking for a safe place to relax and meet wonderful people, we’d love to see you there. No agenda. No speeches. Just community.
📅 Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2026
🕕 Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
📍 Location: Roadhouse, 2840 Prince William Parkway, Woodbridge, VA 22192
Bring a friend—or come make some new ones. We can’t wait to spend the evening with you!
