Huntwick Fall Happy Hour!

Join the Huntwick Civic Association and your neighbors for the August Huntwick Happy Hour on November 3rd!

Huntwick Clubhouse (5300 Coral Gables)
6pm – 8pm

We’ll be serving up beer, wine, and a signature witches brew cocktail!

We’ll also have a chili bar with all the fixin’s, so you won’t need to skip dinner to come sip with us. 

Get one last use out of your Halloween costume or come dressed in your best flannels and fall attire (even if it doesn’t feel particularly autumnal outside quite yet). 

There’s a $10 cost at the door to get in to help offset the price of the drinks, so don’t forget to bring cash!
