FlipSidePA Happy Hour in Lebanon was a hit

lebanon happy hour

Friday night, FlipSidePA joined First Friday festivities in Lebanon by hosting a happy hour downtown with free food, discounted cocktails, live music and trivia.

More than 120 people registered for the event at The Foundry Craft Grillery, located above the historic Lebanon Farmers Market.

While we’ve hosted several FlipSidePA Happy Hours in the past (and plan to do more), this was our first in Lebanon.

The Foundry provided free appetizers, including wraps, sliders and pizza.

Lebanon Valley College graduate Cristabelle Braden performed for the first hour and the second hour was packed with pop culture trivia (this was so popular, we’ll definitely include it in a future event). Kudos to editor Michael Waterloo for compiling great trivia questions.

Myself, along with editors and staffers from York (including York reporter Abbey Zelko) and Lebanon, used this event to chat with locals and find out more about what shapes entertainment in the area.

But, more than that, we hosted a fun evening. People went away #FlipSideHappy.

The popular drink of the evening: Lebanonade, a jalapeno lemonade The Foundry is proud of. It’s just the right mix of sweet and spicy. Get the recipe here.

Our next FlipSidePA Happy Hour will kick off Boutique Week in York in September. Hope to see you there!
