Join the DC Regional Trans Ladies Meetup for our Spring Fling Soiree at Samuel Beckett’s Irish Pub in Arlington, Virginia on Saturday, 11 April 2026, at 7 p.m. Socialize with friends and savor Irish-themed food and drink. So assemble your favorite spring outfits such as a flirty sundress, pastel A-line dress, or floral midi-dress, and join us at our Soiree. Dress to impress as always.
Sam Beckett’s management is excited to host us again. We’ve had 30 to 50 guests at our previous events here. Beckett’s has an intimate atmosphere, yet they can accommodate up to 70 of us! As was the case last time, we will be getting separate checks and ordering off their standard dinner menu. The price range is moderate. Check out a typical dinner menu here: https://samuelbecketts.com/ Although the event states an end time of 11 p.m. this is not a hard limit since Beckett’s is usually open to as late as 1 a.m. Everyone is free to mingle and chat after 11:00 p.m. — and we definitely hope you do!
Trans-women, Crossdressers, and Genderfluid people with a Femme Presentation Are Welcome as Members
The DC Trans Ladies Meetup group welcomes trans-women, crossdressers, and genderfluid people with a femme presentation as members. Significant others of members are welcome! Please be sure to include them as your +1 when you RSVP. Please RSVP soonest as we need to update the venue with our numbers one week prior to the event.
Spring Fling Attire
We want to reinforce the goodwill produced at our previous events, so we expect everyone to wear attire appropriate for a mainstream space. We take pride in the variety of ensembles ladies display while maintaining our tasteful and chic individual style. No fetish wear, please.
Bring your smartphones and cameras, and take pics to share on our meetup site. (Please be mindful that some ladies are adverse to being photographed so if in doubt ask first.)
These outfits featuring Shelly, Misty, and me would all be perfect for the Spring Fling theme!
Parking
Shirlington has extensive, free, garage parking on weekends and evenings. Our preferred parking facility is the Quincy St. Garage at 2901 S Randolph St, Arlington, VA 22206. There’s a staircase to Randolph Street on the NW corner of the garage. This garage is just a two-minute walk to the pub and has ample parking on all levels.
The entrance to Sam Beckett’s is located on Campbell Street across from the Peet’s Coffee even though the address is 2800 S Randolph St. If you are getting dropped off, please use 4150 Campbell Avenue for closer access to the front door. If you’d like someone to meet you at your car and walk in with you, that is no problem! Just text Beth at 202-803-3231, and she (or another member) will come out to walk you in and introduce you to the other ladies.
Spring Fling Lodging
The Hilton Garden Inn in Shirlington has rooms available starting at $216 + tax. We don’t have any special rate negotiated with the hotel, so check out your discount options online when you book, e.g., use hotel chain points, AAA and AARP membership discounts, pay now discounts, or volume booking sites like Expedia, etc. It’s just a two-minute walk from the hotel to the pub! The hotel’s website link is: https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/dcaasgi-hilton-garden-inn-arlington-shirlington/
There are several other hotels within a 10 minute drive that offer significantly lower rates that night. A search near the Shirlington area of Google Maps by date will show you some options.
