Braids + Beers is a relaxed afternoon for dads to learn a few simple, genuinely useful hair skills, have a beer and spend time with other local dads. No awkward networking. No parenting lecture. Just a practical session that helps dads feel more confident at home and more connected in the process.

This event is designed for modern dads who want to show up well but do not need another generic parenting talk. You’ll learn a few easy styles you can actually use, get hands-on guidance in a low-pressure setting, and leave feeling more capable than when you walked in. Whether you are doing daycare drop-off, getting your daughter ready for a party, or just want to be more helpful in the everyday chaos, this is for you.

Braids + Beers is also about something bigger. Dad Mode exists to create relaxed, useful spaces where dads can build confidence, learn practical skills and meet other fathers who are figuring it out too. Numbers are intentionally limited to keep it personal, easygoing and real.

Your ticket includes the session, one drink and all the gear you’ll need on the day.

If you’ve been looking for something that feels practical, social and actually made for dads, this is it.
