Champions League Final at Validation HQ ⚽️🍻

PSG vs Arsenal. Sound on. Volume up. Arguments ready.

We’re opening early at 9AM for the first whistle. Expect 83” screens, full match sound, brunch starting at 10AM, and the kind of atmosphere where you chant for your team and absolutely boo the other one.

Whether you’re backing Paris, riding with Arsenal, or just here for the chaos, this one deserves to be watched with a crowd.

Football mornings hit different in the Funk Zone ⚽️

Some bottles get compliments.
Some bottles get a Gold Medal. 🥇

Validation Fiesta Blanco earned Gold at the 2026 ADI
International Spirits Competition, with judges calling it:
“An amazing expression from beginning to end.”
Complex, balanced, easy to sip, and apparently very hard to stop pouring.

Not bad for a tequila that started as an idea scribbled somewhere between “this could be fun” and “send it.” 🌵🥃
Now it’s your turn to come and see what the judges were talking about.

Starting Saturday in the Funk Zone: baby back ribs, fresh from the smoker. 🔥

These ribs spend hours low and slow until they’re melt-in-your-mouth tender, then get finished with a chipotle beer glaze made with our Hazy IPA.

Served with loaded mashed potatoes and house pickles.

Available until we run out!

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.

05/14/2026

Friday night soundtrack = One 2 Tree at the Funk Zone. 🌴🍻 Bringing island reggae vibes, acoustic beach-town grooves, and laid-back funk energy to the patio tonight.
Cold beers, live music, and that “guess we’re staying another round” kind of Friday.
Catch One 2 Tree tonight at Validation Ale HQ Funk Zone.

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.
📍Validation Ale Funk Zone 🗓 Thursday, May 14 ⏰ 6:30 PM 🎶 TRIXICO live
