Rare Bottles, Good People
A backyard fundraiser benefiting Social Creatures, a nonprofit on a mission to make social connection more accessible.
Sunday, April 26 · 3 — 7 PM
Backyard at Rude Mouth · 359 Metropolitan Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Free to attend · RSVP encouraged (space is limited)
About the Event
Come spend a Sunday afternoon in one of Brooklyn's best backyards, with great wine, rare bottles, new friends, and a cause worth raising a glass to.
We're celebrating 6 years of Social Creatures, the launch of our new look, and the kind of places that make community possible. Rude Mouth is one of those places, a true neighborhood third space, and we couldn't think of a better spot to bring our communities together.
No program. No speeches. Just a really good Sunday.
First 25 Guests Receive a Limited-Edition Social Creatures Tote
Arrive by 3 PM to claim yours (while supplies last).
What's Happening
Wine, beer & non-alcoholic options available for purchase
Complimentary grazing plates (on us)
New Social Creatures merch in our new look
Silent auction featuring rare bottles sourced by our Paris-based sommelier friends
A backyard full of really good people
15% of all backyard bar sales benefit Social Creatures, with additional proceeds from merch sales and the silent auction supporting our work. All donations made in connection with tomorrow's event will be matched dollar for dollar by an anonymous donor. Every gift goes twice as far.
The event is free to attend, just show up! Space is limited (the backyard fits ~65 people at a time), so arriving early is encouraged. We’ll have complimentary grazing plates to start, with additional small plates available for purchase from Rude Mouth throughout the afternoon. A casual silent auction featuring rare bottles will run during the event, with bidding closing at 6:30 PM. The event will take place outdoors in the backyard. Fingers crossed for beautiful spring weather, with a rain date to follow if needed.
Can't Make It?
We'd still love your support, and right now, it goes twice as far. An anonymous donor is matching all donations made in connection with this event, dollar for dollar.
