Trade the desk for a drink at Sunset Sips, an after-work gathering with live music, drink tastings, and casual socializing along the banks of the Genesee River. It’s a relaxed way to wind down the day, enjoy a variety of beverages, and spend time with friends or colleagues in a comfortable outdoor setting. With a simple mix of good music, good drinks, and good company, Sunset Sips offers a midweek break worth making time for.
