Beer Runner Happy Hour
Details
Beer lovers and social butterflies, this one’s for you! Beer Runner Happy Hour is taking over Southern Heights on Thursday, May 28th, 2026, from 6–8 pm for a laid-back evening of pints, tacos, and good vibes—no running shoes required.
Despite the name, this meetup is all about chilling out, not logging miles. Think of it as the fun “cooldown” without the workout: just an easygoing hangout with fellow beer fans, future friends, and that tempting taco truck calling your name.
- Purely social, zero pressure: This is a no-run zone. Show up in whatever you’d normally wear to grab a beer and chat.
- Special deal for beer runners: Your first pint is half price, so you can toast the evening without breaking the bank.
- BYOB (Buy Your Own Brews): Southern Heights has a tasty lineup of beers on tap—bring your wallet and sip your way through some local favorites.
- Taco time: There’s a delicious new taco truck on-site, perfect for pre-beer fuel, mid-beer munchies, or a final snack before you head out.
- Relaxed, friendly crowd: Expect fun, laughs, and plenty of easy conversation whether you come solo or bring a friend.
- Help plan the party: If you’re on Facebook, click “going” on the event page so organizers can get a solid headcount.
Whether you’re a seasoned Beer Runner regular or just curious and thirsty, this happy hour is a simple, low-key way to plug into a fun community. Come for the half-price pint, stay for the conversations, and maybe sprint only for the tacos.
