WE'RE UP AND RUNNING!

Welcome to "Happenings at The Hook", Yellow Hook Grille's own blog!

We've created this blog to keep our patrons up to date on everything that's going on here at Yellow Hook Grille!  Between dining & drink specials, upcoming events, celebrations and neighborhood news,  you'll now be in the loop of everything here.

Creating this blog is only the tip of the iceberg of new things taking shape here at Yellow Hook Grille.  Down the pike, you'll also see a new and improved website, as well as an updated food menu for the Spring/Summer 2014 season.  We'll keep everyone up to date on the changes as they take place, so feel free to bookmark this page and check back often for the updates.  In the meantime.....

March 2014 is a busy month for Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, as well as Yellow Hook Grille. It seems that every weekend St. Patrick's Day is being celebrated somewhere in the five boroughs and Bay Ridge, Brooklyn is no exception.  We boast one of the largest and most popular St. Patrick's Day parades outside of the grandaddy of them all, the NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade in Manhattan.  This year's parade is extra special in that it's the 20th Annual Bay Ridge St. Patrick's Day Parade, scheduled to take place on Sunday, March 23rd.

Yellow Hook Grille is making preparations to ensure that this year's festivities will be the best yet. Our famous "Big Top" tent will be in place as well as live music all weekend long!  On Saturday, March 22nd, we welcome the return of "The Hell or High Water Band", one of the hardest working bands in NYC.  Always a pleasure to see, they will keep you entertained from beginning to end!


Live music continues on Parade Day, Sunday, March 23rd with the appearance by the ever-popular Canny Brothers Band.  The ever-popular band has become a sort of tradition for us on Parade Day and if you ever had the opportunity to see them live, you know that they will rock the house with a wildly entertaining set.
Both shows begin promptly at 4pm.  Get here early!

Of course, there will be plenty going on throughout the month of March besides the St. Patrick's Day celebrations.  Other upcoming events include:

3/11/14: SPECIAL ST. PATRICK'S DAY TRIVIA NIGHT (sponsored by GUINNESS & FIREBALL WHISKY).  Our weekly Trivia event will have special meaning this week as it's also a fundraiser for the Denis Leary Firefighters Foundation. The theme for the week will, of course, be St. Patrick's Day and we'll be accepting donations from individuals as well as trivia teams that night.  Guinness & Fireball Whisky specials on tap all night!

3/12-3/16: NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK kicks into high gear with the tip-off of the Atlantic-10 and Big East Tournaments.  Brooklyn is a hotbed of hoops and this is the time of year that everyone looks forward to. Will your favorite college team make it into the Big Dance?  We will host several Viewing Parties throughout March, starting with one on Wednesday, March 12th at 7pm. Sponsored by Brooklyn Brewery, we will be raffling off TICKETS to the Atlantic-10 Tournament (Friday night session).  Thursday, March 13th at 6pm, sponsored by Blue Point Brewery & Goose Island Brewing Co. There will be samples and giveaways during the games, so stop by and cheer on your favorite teams!

3/17/14: ST. PATRICK'S DAY. The 253rd Annual Parade takes place in Manhattan starting at 11am.  We will be open bright and early for pre-game before you head into the city. We'll also air the parade live on TV and offer up the traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage lunch during the festivities.  And of course, we will be here for you when you return from the Parade, well stocked with Guinness, Two Gingers and a smile!

3/18-4/7: MARCH MADNESS!!  The Big Dance starts off with the play-in games on Tuesday and Wednesday before kicking into high gear on Thursday, March 20th at 12pm.  Tradition has it that a lot of people call in sick or take that "extra-long" lunch break on those days and with good reason.  Non-stop college basketball until well after midnight. In and you live to see another day; Lose and that's it for your season.  It doesn't get any better than that.  We'll carry EVERY game of the NCAA tournament and offer up $15 Bud/Bud Light buckets throughout the tournament ($20 with an order of wings)!

3/31: METS HOME OPENER! Of course, with the end of March comes the sounds of baseball and the Amazin's start their season off at home against the Washington Nationals. Join us as we celebrate Opening Day!

That's just some of the things we have going on this month.  Like we said before, we'll keep posting things periodically to keep you abreast of what's taking place at Yellow Hook Grille.  It's a work in progress, just like this blog is a work in progress.  It will keep evolving over time.  In the meantime, if you haven't done so yet,  you can also stay connected with us via FACEBOOK and TWITTER (make sure to follow us).  Feel free to leave us your feedback (keep it clean of course) and we'll try our best to respond!

AND FINALLY:  Daylight Savings time returns this weekend! Don't forget to set your clocks AHEAD one hour! And make sure you check & change the batteries in your smoke detectors!

Thanks for your time!


Cheers!
