We know Long Islanders know how to do it RIGHT! The Betterman Distilling Co. has partnered with Patchogue's finest joints for a Virtual Bar Crawl on Saturdays. Yes, you read that right. So popular, spots have been selling out so book in advance. You can opt for a 1:00-5:00pm time slot, 5:00-9:00 time slot, or go all day! With four restaurants making a food & drink delivery drop offs every hour, kids meal & kids craft add-ons, contact-less delivery & tipping, they've thought of everything. Participating restaurants include: Fulton's Gate, That Meetball Place, Perabell Food Bar, The Cheese Patch, Village Idiot Pub, Tap Room, Bobbique, RHUM, Arooga's, Rudi's, BrickHouse Brewery, and Great South Bar.

An example includes Option A:

• Perogies, Strawberry Margarita, Pretzel, Cigar City, Dog 90, White Zin, & Berry Sangria from Arooga's

Disclaimer from the website:

• Must live within 4 miles of Patchogue Theater to participate.
• 
  Due to the difficulty in coordinating this event and the volume of deliveries (plus the physical human restraints of our amazing delivery drivers), we will not be able to substitute one restaurant for another, and we're not able to do deliveries in a particular order. You may receive a dessert delivery before appetizers, but who ever said you can't have dessert before dinner? 

We think that's more fun anyway! Check out their website for more.

Don't forget to support these local restaurants even when it isn't Bar Crawl day too!

We included a variety of neighborhoods for you, but be sure to check out your own favorite spots and see if they have specials. Support local business, and we encourage you to order straight from the restaurant when possible (as opposed to going through third party delivery sites). At this time it's important to contribute directly to small business owners and TIP well! They're working hard for you while adding extra precautions to ensure safety while getting creative. 

We're also finding that as opposed to "sitting on" high end product, some places are offering discounts or specials on top shelf items. Ask when you call in! You may be happy you did.

Remember in order to pick up alcoholic beverages to go, food purchase is required. Comment  below with other restaurants doing specials this season - we want to hear from you!

Looking forward to seeing you all again, but until then - stay safe.

Cheers for now & have a Happy Memorial Weekend!
