May is stacked, and honestly… we love a full calendar.

Live shows, trivia every Wednesday at both HQ and Annex, Bowl Shows early in the month, The Shop pop-up every Friday + Saturday from 4pm–close, Biz & Beers tonight, and Makers Market this Saturday.

Basically, if you’re looking for a reason to come through, May brought receipts.

Grab your people, pick your location, and let’s make it a month.

We’re opening Validation @ The Shop this Tuesday & Wednesday: pregame + afterparty the @disclosure show @sbbowl

Come through before the show for grub, novel cocktails, craft beer and @margerumwines rosé - then swing back after for late-night vibes.

📍The Shop730 n Milpas
⏰ Pregame starts at 4pm | Afterparty goes until it doesn’t
🎶 Good music. Strong drinks. Right crowd.

Tag your crew, rock up, and make it a night.

Midweek plans are officially locked in. 🍻🧠

Go full brainiac with Pub Trivia at Validation Ale HQ… or test your very questionable sports knowledge at Sports Trivia over at the Annex.

Two different vibes. Same goal: beer in hand, random confidence levels through the roof.

Pick your battlefield wisely. 👀🍺
Wednesday night at Validation Ale HQ or Validation Ale Annex.

NEW DATE

FRIDAY, MAY 29TH

We are excited to announce that we will actually be performing on Friday to kick-off the weekend!!!

Friday night’s sounding a little more reggae, a little more jam session, and a lot more like “guess we’re staying for one more set.” 🌴🎶

Cornerstone is bringing the live reggae energy to Validation Ale HQ with special guests, open jam sessions, cold beers, and the kind of soundtrack that turns the patio into the place to be.

Music starts at 6:30. Good vibes start whenever you get here.

The PGA championship starts this week at Aronimink Golf Club! Come play the course virtually as you watch the pros take it on!!! Challenge your buddies, set up a scramble, fire closest to the pin on the par 3s! ⛳️

Thursday plans = handled. 🍻🎸

TRIXICO is taking over Validation Ale Funk Zone this Thursday, May 14th at 6:30 PM and if you’ve seen them before… you already know this isn’t a “one beer and leave early” situation.

Expect big energy, guitars that somehow sound even better after your second pint, and the kind of live music night that turns “just stopping by” into closing the tab way later than intended.

Cold beer. Funk Zone air. Local music done right.

May gray has been playing emotional defense lately… so when the sun finally clocks in, there’s only one correct response: patio drinks 🍹

Cold beer, cocktails in the sun, maybe suddenly texting the group chat “you guys out?” like it’s a national emergency.

Who’s validating patio drink season with us today? Let us know what’s in your glass in the comments.

SANTA BARBARA, CA. @validationsb @shopbrunchStopped by The Shop Kitchen during the Validation Ale take over before a concert at Santa Barbara Bowl this past week. Had a couple hazys and a mule while trying the Philly cheesesteak and smash burger. Let’s just say the drinks beat out the food, but still a cool chill spot to post up before heading into the show. Staff was super friendly and kept the good vibes going before the concert.
