Spring is here, and we’re taking the party to one of the biggest patios in Dallas! 🏳️‍🌈🍹

This month, Gay Bar Takeover is landing at Birdie’s Eastside. If you haven't seen this space yet, get ready—we’re taking over their massive patio and making the most of that outdoor energy. The best part? We’ve got easy access to the back bar, so you can keep the drinks flowing without ever leaving the sunshine.

It’s the ultimate indoor-outdoor vibe to kick off your weekend with the GBT family. Come for the atmosphere, stay for the community, and let’s show East Dallas how we welcome the spring!

A massive thank you to everyone who made BBB 10 legendary! 🧔‍♂️🐻🍻

We are still buzzing from last month. Celebrating 10 Years of Beards, Bears, and Brews with all of you at Community Beer Co. was the perfect way to mark a decade of this community.

To everyone who showed up, repped the anniversary gear, and shared a toast with us—thank you for making the last 10 years so special. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or joined for your first takeover, you’re the reason we do this.

Huge thanks to the team at for hosting us in such an incredible space! 🏗️🍺 We know going from one venue to a new space comes with it's hiccups but we're happy you took good care of us!

"Everyone from your group was so kind and understanding, and we are definitely looking forward to more collaboration with y'all!"

Swipe through for some of our favorite moments from the afternoon. 📸✨
Don't forget to keep tagging us in your photos! 🥂🏳️‍🌈
