Long Beach Community Business Network (www.lbcbn.com) and The Blade (www.gayblade.com) have teamed up to present an unprecedented Happy Hour at the scenic Reef restaurant in Long Beach. If you’ve been to this wonderful restaurant and bar on the Long Beach harbor, you already know how special a venue this is. If you haven’t, this is your opportunity to experience a landmark that has been around for years and knows all about service, great food, good drinks and ambience.

On Wednesday, September 30, and Wednesday, October 28, we are launching a Special Sunset Happy Hour at the Reef on The Sunset Deck. You’ll be able to look out over the gorgeous skyline of Long Beach while the Reef goes all out with a complimentary hors d’oeuvres buffet.

In addition, the Happy Hour includes:
 – Half-price Well Drinks (Smirnoff and like brands, full price $7),
 – House Wine (Copper Ridge) and
 – Domestic and Imported beer.

If you are still in the munching mood, appetizers from their main menu will also be offered at half price:
 – Shrimp Cocktail (full price $9.95),
 – Crispy Calamari ($8.95),
 – Spinach & Artichoke Dip ($7.95),
 – Ginger Beef Skewers (these are to die for, $9.95),
 – Kobe sliders ($8.95) and
 – Buffalo wings ($8.95).

Remember, it’s half off all of these appetizers, as well as half off the scrumptious sampler platter, regularly $19.95, which includes:
 – Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms,
 – Crispy Calamari,
 – Spinach and Artichoke Dip and
 – Ginger Beef Skewers.

This is purely a social get together, enjoying a lovely evening of cocktails and food and friends. We will be asking for a $5 donation of which one hundred percent will go to the Long Beach Center’s programs. Come on out and enjoy a lovely evening. The festivities begin at 6 p.m.
