Barcadia! Arcade-Era Cocktails Re-Imagined
The golden age of the arcade was a time of colorful, tacky, fruity drinks full of innuendo. Long considered the cocktail dark ages, this era is making a comeback. Even if you've never rested your drink on a Pac-Man cocktail table, you'll want to join us for a humorous exploration of arcade-era cocktails re-imagined for modern tastes. Long Islands, Amaretto Sours, and neon-blue drinks-- get in on the 80s revival! $12 ticket price includes samples of two cocktails. This event is for individuals ages 21 or older.
There will be three seatings for this event:
5:30pm-6:15pm
6:30pm-7:15pm
7:30pm-8:15pm
Tickets must be purchased in advance. Purchase tickets online.
