Let's make this event very convenient for everybody:

Many of us enjoy the happy hours, and many of us like dinners too. Many of us love music and dancing and many of us hate driving from one place to the other.

This one is going to be easier:

NedDevine's in Herndon, VA is a Restaurant Irish pub that has live music starting at 10:00pm every weekend.
Food is good and inexpensive. Plenty of free parking.
It has a little bit of everything so we can easily hang out at the bar, mingle and chat, then grab a table and enjoy dinner and conversations and finally move closer to the stage once you are ready to test your favorite dancing shoes.

Hyjinx is playing on Friday!
