Beaujolais Nouveau Day (Nov 19) and Old Fashioned Week (Dec 1-6)

It’s that time again for our twice annual newsletter! One of these days we’ll get around to daily dinging your Inbox just like the rest of the internet. We want to thank all of you for your support during this year, it’s been challenging to say the least. Your patience and understanding makes all the difference in our ability to figure out the best way keep things safe and fun! Here’s a list of things we want to tell you about… ON TO THE UPDATE!

Always clocking in on the 3rd Thursday of November, this fun little Francophile party celebrates the first juice of the season! Nouveau is super fruity, tart and drinks best with a chill. We’ll be slinging oysters and @codex_va will be on the grill working the cheeseburger game. Plus we got a special surprise to announce next week. It’s first come, first serve and we’ll have tons of BoJo No  delivering high styles between $15-30. (3 min education on Beaujolais)

 We’re getting nifty with a special menu this week featuring 10-15 Old Fashioneds (plus a few special high end selections). It’s gonna be super swell and we’ll donate a dollar from each cocktail sold to the ACLU. So come get righteous with us! PLUS all the syrups and bitters will be available in the Bottle Shop and you can recreate your favorite Old Fashioned at home. AND we’ll have some Old Fashioned/Manhattan Gift Sets if you want to get your favorite cocktail enthusiast some fancy equipment for the home bar!

As most of you might have seen, we converted our bar area into a Bottle Shop.  It's got tons of goodies and over 250 selections of natural wine - and yes the under $20 section kicks major vino ass!  Cheeses, charcuterie and snacks a plenty. Feel free to pick something out and enjoy on the patio or take home for movie night! We don’t even care if you like wine, just get up here and buy a bottle! (Also you need to remember us for Thanksgiving - bottles on the table!  We'll have special 4 packs catered to your family dynamic.)

We’re getting a little done each day and it’s moving along quite nicely. It will give us a nice sized kitchen and plenty of new seats in the dining room! Our current dining room is still open if you are planning to visit during inclement weather.  We may have a few days where the dining room is closed due to work, we hope to finish this expansion project before the end of the year.
