These 7 Unique Happy Hours are Elevating Resident Events

 

Whether you’re a resident event planning veteran or just getting started, happy hours are an easy and warm way to help people unite after a long work day, and relax. Residents love an excuse to relax, and what better way than to do it over drinks? As one of the most popular types of events in a community, Happy Hours are lively and fun with just enough relaxation and a way for members of your building to build relationships and positive interactions with one another. Pairing an event with a local vendor allows a chance to network with area businesses, and support your local economy. The combination of a happy hour hosted in partnership with a local business owner can make for an endless array of happy hour themes depending on the type of event you think your resident events might enjoy. Keep reading to check out several unique happy hours our residents have been loving this fall, facilitated by Circuit.

Wynwood 25 Sunset Hour “Glow & Spritz”

To compliment the experience, residents had a choice of lemon or Aperol spritzers, champagne, or infused water to choose from.

EXO Apartments Cider Tasting

Residents with EXO apartments of Reston VA were recently invited to join their neighbors for a tasting of seasonal ciders from D.C.’s premier cidery, pizzeria and cocktail bar, ANXO. A cider expert guided residents through a 90-minute session including the tasting of 3 seasonal ciders; residents also learned where they could purchase these unique varieties locally.

Whiskey Tasting at the Earl

Residents from The Earl of Arlington, VA got into the swing of the fall season with a whiskey tasting hosted by Bardstown Bourbon Co. one of the largest producers, buyers, and bottlers of whiskey in Kentucky. The full experience lasted 90 minutes and included 3 tastings: Bardstown Bourban Fusion #7, the American Highway by Brad Paisley, and Bardstown Bourbon Discovery #7. Whiskey tasting was paired with a charcuterie selection of meats and cheeses.

Wings and Brews

For the Howell Apartments in downtown NY, residents came with an appetite to enjoy an assortment of buffalo, barbecued, and garlic parmesan wings with dipping sauce varieties, as well as wings, flavored water, and a brew bar. Uno and Jenga games were provided for an extra layer of group interaction. The entire display of food and beverage along with the ambient music was coordinated and set up from Ledisha, female owned entrepreneur of Lyfe Events.
