First City Hang Out
All Makes, All Bikes, All Welcome. Car and bike meetups, cruise ins and drag nights that turn horsepower into help for our community.
Real Rides. Real People. Real Loud.
First City Hang Out started the way every good thing does around here: a handful of gearheads, a parking lot, and an excuse to talk shop until the streetlights came on. It grew into something bigger. Today we are a community that pulls muscle cars, classics, hot rods, bikes and gassers out of the garage and into the light, and turns that horsepower into help for the folks around us.
We are all makes and all bikes. Chrome and rust, six figure builds and daily drivers with a little character, they all park in the same lot here. If you love the smell of race gas and the sound of a cammed motor at idle, you already belong.
Home base is The Hangar Bar in Lawrenceville, right in the heart of Lawrence County near the Indiana line. From our first meet up of the season to the Downtown Halloween Bash, we keep it family friendly, keep it authentic, and keep the good times rolling all year long.
